Any tips for babies with long hair? I’ve got into the habit of giving a quick blow dry as it’s bed straight after bath and I don’t like her going to sleep with wet hair!
I worry about using too much heat though and the damage that would cause. How do you guys manage babies with long hair?

I do the same as a new mumma with a barnet baby - also want to get my little girl used to it as we'll be swimming soon and equally don't want to leave the pool with wet hair as we get closer to winter
I use the cold button and hold quite a distance away (further than I would my own, even on this setting) as the hair is so fine it dries fairly quickly anyway
I've also been combing it gently as I'd like her to be familiar with the feeling of brushing her hair - if it keeps growing like this I've got a mini Rapunzel on my hands!
Hope this helps 🙏 🥰 x
yes! Thank you. I also do use the cooler setting and try and keep it a distance. It used to dry really quickly but it’s much longer and thicker now so just seems to take longer - and little one doesn’t stay still while I do it anymore!!

Aww little wriggler, to be fair mine is just 3m so she's sat on my knee when we do it
Hadn't pictured the scene when she's mobile 🤔 ...but now I'm wondering what I'd do?!
How old are they? Can you make a little noisy game out of it?
mines 14 months now and is all over the place! She’s happier if she’s holding the hairdryer but then not much hair drying actually happens! 😅. I think maybe I need to buy her a little toy one so she can play with that while I actually use the real one!
