Do you always using hairdryer after washing your hair ? People said that using hairdryer too often can cause damage to your hair... is that also happen to you ? I seldom using hairdryer right now, and get them dry naturally. In some ocassion I still using it to make hair style. I also have hair iron, and never use it anymore, too tired to iron my own hair -lol-

I think this is more a girl thingy, no? It is not that common to dry hair using the hair dryer among guys. I use the hair dryer only when I am gelling my hair. Then, you will need a hair dryer.

Well I think the percentage users who using hairdryer are girl/woman, maybe because woman's hair are longer and takes time to get dry. But I have some boy friends who also using hairdryer regularly, most of them also have long hair ;)) And same like you, I also using hairdryer if I want to make hairstyle. Are you using gel every day ?

Personally, I don't use a hairdryer, but I don' t have a long hair either. I just dry my hair using a towel and let the air do the rest of the job.

not anymore. i've read countless of articles that it's always best to dry your hair naturally because, indeed, hair dryers could damage your hair. hair dryers, straigtening irons and the like could damage your hair.

I do, I use a product to protect my hair from damage before I use a hairdryer. If I don't, I have really flat hair. I only use a hairdryer though, no curling irons or anything like that.

I use to use a blowdryer all the time on my hair. Now I dont I let my hair dry naturally. And every once in awhile Ill use the electric curlers. But since Ive letting my hair dry on its own, its much healthier.

I used to use the hairdryer. I stopped because my hair was so damaged. i had to deep condition to get my hair back to normal. Now I air dry my hair or when I roll my hair, I use the dome dryer on medium heat. that is safer for my hair.

I never blow-dry or straigten my hair. I prefer to let my hair dry naturally and prefer to have a natural look to my hair so I do not use product either. It can dry out your hair and make it feel like straw and that is not very attractive in my opinion.

I rarely use hairdryers. Yeah, I think it does major damage to our hair especially when used really often. That's why those who use it should take a further step in taking care of their hair. Mine was damaged when I had it relaxed so I guess it has something to do with heat applied to it.

I never use a hair dryer on my own hair. I let it naturally dry. In the winter months I do use a hair dryer on my daughters' hair so that it is dried before she goes out into the cold. I haven't seen any kind of damage to her hair yet.

I do. Yeah, and I must admit it's true. My hair gets dry a lot of times and unhealthy. I used to just dry my hair in front of an electric fan but because I moved here in U.S. and they usually don't use fans like the one I had before. Now it's such a scary thing for me to use it again because just the other day, my hairdryer broke and there was lights coming out like fire or something. I don't know how to explain but that did scared me thinking I was gonna die lol. I don't actually know if it was broken or it's just the heat that cause that something to open out just like a lightning but I let my dad threw it.

Yes I know this and try to avoid using it always. But once you get the shortcut to some work it is hard to get rid of that habbit.

I used to use a hair dryer daily to dry my hair. Then I got lazy and would either let it air dry or pull it back wet. Usually it was because I was in a rush. It takes me 10-15 minutes to get my hair completely dry. I like my hair better when it has been dried with the hair dryer. My hair is smoother and softer then. If I let my hair air dry, it gets weird. So if I have places to go or things to do then I will blow dry it.

I hardly ever use a hair dryer anymore. I used to use one all the time. I have heard that using them a lot can cause damage to your hair. They have ones out now though that are supposed to protect your hair from "styling damage." But i dont think i really want to go pay that much for a hair dryer.
