Do you Blow Dry your Hair or let it Air Dry? email this discussion to a friend?

If you Blow Dry it, do you get split ends quickly even after conditioning. If you Air Dry, do you get split ends easily?

I blow dry it mostly. You dont get split ends from drying your hair but it does take away the natural oils. If you get your hair trimmed every 4 to 6 weeks, you will not get split ends and your hair will grow faster and healthier. I havent had split ends since i was in my early 20's

SPLIT ENDS

Once your hair has split the damage is done and will require cutting so protect it by keeping it supple and moisturised. Use a leave-in conditioner.

Blow drying the hair can damage it so always use a nozzell on your hairdryer concentrating on the hair shaft. If the damage has already been done a serum applied to split ends will help disguise them and can help protect the hair when applying direct heat such as from curling tongs or heated rollers. The only real solution is to cut the offending ends off.

I prefer natural way of drying of my hair rather than hair dryer.Becz there is a possibility of causing of brain cancer due to use of hair dry(i read in some article).And also hair dryer makes hair course and causes split ends.


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  3 years ago

I just trimmed off all my split ends and have started to air dry my hair since last April. So far I haven't gotten any split ends yet. Thanks for your info.

I just let my hair air dry. I have long hair and the hair dryer makes it frizzy.

I do if I am dressing to go out someplace special, otherwise I let it dry on it's own. I don't think I even know what a spit end is????


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  3 years ago

I always wondered if guys took the time to blow dry their hair or not. Thank you for sharing.

i will let it Air Dry


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  2 years ago

Air drying my hair seems to decrease the amount of split ends I get. When I blow dried my hair it would frizz so bad, tangle, and then split ends galore. Thank you for sharing your opinion. I appreciate the feedback.

I used to use it and i got many broken hairs.So stopped using it.


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  2 years ago

Me too. The blow dryer damaged my hair a lot, but I didn't realize it because that was my mother's way of taking care of my hair ever since I was little. I just recently started air drying my hair, trimmed about an inch of dead ends off my hair, and now my hair seems to be staying more healthy looking. No split ends yet.

I let it air dry. It is so hot here it does not take long before my hair is dry. Even when we go out my hair is dry before we even get to our destination, but i have fine straigth hair. Poeple with thicker hair migth need to blow dry their hair.


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  2 years ago

I've tried Air drying my hair and I don't seem to get as many split ends as I used to. I do have thicker hair, but it doesn't take too long to air dry. When I blow dried my hair it would frizz so bad, tangle, and then split ends galore. Thank you for responding. I appreciate the feedback.

Lord, If I dried my hair, I would look like Don King. I have what they call " Big Hair". I throw in some moose and let it air dry.


myLot reputation of 69/100. wendysue44 (365)  3 years ago

And yes, I do get split ends even though I do not blow it dry. I have to keep it trimmed.


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  3 years ago

That was funny! When I read your comment about Don King a quick picture flashed in my mind of his electrified looking hair. Thanks for the visual!!!


myLot reputation of 69/100. wendysue44 (365)  3 years ago

You are more then welcome, but it is true.


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  3 years ago

I used to blow dry my hair all the time and dealt with all the split ends with hairspray. Until, my mother-in-law had used this special brush on my nieces hair and never blowed dried it and her hair had not split ends at all. She did keep trimming the ends ever so many weeks and her hair was so healthy looking. So I finally trimmed all the split ends off and was determined to air dry my hair only using a comb. My hair is staying healthy looking now. There's something to it for sure.

I let it Air dry who got time 2 do all that in de mornin.


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  2 years ago

You make a great point about it taking so much time to blow dry your hair. I had always thought it took longer to let my hair air dry. Since I've started air drying my hair, I'm not getting the split ends and it's usually fully dried by the time I get to where I'm going. Thanks for responding.

before i use to dry my hair with the help of air dryer, but then i came to know that the air dryer producess heat on to our hair scalp and we tent to loose our hair. i mean hair fall. so that i stopped using.


myLot reputation of 86/100. juls2me2 (1221)  2 years ago

I too used to use a hair blower, but it was basically causing my hair to frizz, which then would tangle, and then split ends everywhere. I've never heard of someones hair falling out from the heat before. I'm glad I stopped blow drying it. I now let the air dry it and you know it really doesn't take as long to dry as I had expected it to. Thank you for responding
