Answer 3

Yup any kind of directly applied heat is damaging to the hair that's why it is recommended that a heat protection spray is used if you not keen on using heat sprays on your hair you can air dry it naturally simply by shaking your hair vigorously for a short while or you can wrap a towel round your hair/head which will trap the heat given off and gently dry the hair

Answer 4

Yes. Cause the heat is been directly aimed at the hair it causes the hair to become brittle and dry. Your best bet to prevent this or to make it better is to use plenty of conditioner to lock moisture, try getting one for dry brittle hair. Befor you dry your hair buy an Heat Protector spray and spray it evenly through the hair. You can get these sprays from most Supermarkets. I use Superdrugs own, which is really good and smells great!!!

Answer 5

The heat drys out all the oils that cleans your hair, if the oils dry up, your hair can get dry and ends can split, if its done everyday for a long period of time, your hair may start to fall out, same goes for straightening your hair

Answer 6

Yes. most people believe that. You are just basically drying your hair out, and if you use it to much your hair will need major moistureizor.Sorry for spelling. Use the hairdryer about 3 times a week and try to wash your hair when you have time to naturaly dry it.

Answer 7

Yes - any heat that is applied to your hair will cause damage. It is important to use heat sprays to minimise any damage and if possible only blow dry it when necessary

Answer 8

blow drying your hair is not damaging to it, as long as you don't have the heat up too high, and you hold the hair dryer away about 1 inch from your hair. then as your just ending the process, turn the hair dryer to cool air, and that will ease your hair up. i'm 14, and thats what i do.

Answer 9

yes all aspecst of hair dressing damage ur hair apart from cutting it every time u add heat or colour you are damagin your hair heat drys it out and cause's split ends by some heat protecting spray from boots or superdrug if u want to buy it cheaply if not go to a hairdresser and ask to buy some where i worked it was about 8pounds for a bottle that was because it was redken but thats my advice

Answer 10

Yes is can be but what is even worse is going out in the freezing cold with wet hair. You are actually freeze drying it.

Answer 11

Too much hot air contact will make your hair brittle and it may tend to break or cut. Mild hot air doesn't do any harm. For hair care you care check some of the good websites..
