Is this a serious question?
What on earth makes it important to you?

I wouldn’t find it unreasonable, no. Perhaps the child doesn’t want to sit still for the dryer?

Should add that even in her teens and beyond a dd hardly ever bothered to dry her hair. Even when studying in St Petersburg during the Russian winter, she wouldn’t bother - some of the locals would have forty fits, but she came to no harm.
So my opinion probably isn’t worth much!

I’m interested, why are you against it?

When I had long hair I never used a hair dryer. Just brushed it and let it dry its self.

It doesn't really matter what you think,she is not your child. When I was a child and when my daughter was small we just let hair dry naturally.

Always let my daughters very long hair dry naturally, same with my granddaughters.

Why is it important? Do they live in an unheated house or tent?

Does anyone else find it unreasonable to leave a child's long (though not particularly thick) hair wet after washing it - rather than using a small hairdryer. I find it unreasonable and have discussed it with daughter and s in law. They just consider it is not necessary. To me it's important for a couple of reasons. Just interested an objective point of view. Thank you. New member.
