My old mentor at the salon in Dayton kept nagging me about sectioning smaller, and she was finally right

I used to grab big 2 inch sections when doing a blowout, mostly because I was always rushing at the end of the night. My mentor Denise at the salon on 5th in Dayton kept saying "go thinner, you'll save time later" and I rolled my eyes for about a year. Last week I tried 1 inch sections on a client with thick hair and finished 20 minutes early with way less frizz. Now I'm wondering if I should drop down even smaller for coarse hair or if that's overkill, how do you all decide?
