Do hair dryers damage your hair?
Like any thermal appliance that heats over 185 degrees Celsius, yes, they can damage your hair. Generally, a hairdryer will cause less damage than a hair straightener, as they are applied directly to your hair, causing more heat.
The most damaging aspect of a hairdryer is when it's placed on the head directly over the root area.
If you leave on a blow dryer for too long, this can damage the cuticle layer of the hair, leading to split ends and further breakage. The best way to avoid this is by using a heat protector. This will help protect the hair shaft from being damaged.
What is the lightest hairdryer?
The lightest hairdryer is the Gama IQ. It weighs less than 300 grams! It is also very powerful and uses new brushless motor technology that makes it super strong and quiet. It is worth the investment. A new competitor to the Gama IQ is the Pro One Areolite Hair Dryer.
Can I use a hair dryer every day?
Unfortunately, using a hair dryer (or flat iron, or curling wand) every day is a horrible idea since hair is damaged by ANY amount of heat. Constant use of hot tools may damage hair by eliminating protective oils, damaging the cuticle, and bringing about split ends and frizz.
Blow dryers are particularly damaging because they provide heat, which denatures the hair's protein structure and causes it to dry out.
If you intend on using a hairdryer every day, it is critical that you apply a heat protectant first.
Is it better to let your hair dry naturally?
Natural drying is the most recommended option for hair preservation and health in general. However, you will not get the same result compared to when you use a hair dryer. A hairdryer will smooth frizz and flyaways and provide hair with extra shine. Also, most professional stylists advise against letting your hair air dry as it takes too long and can leave you with an undesirable hairstyle. The best solution would be to use a hair dryer with ionic conditioning. This will add extra moisture and shine to your hair without drying your strands.
