Which is less harmful to ur hair: blowdrying or straightening?

hey everyone :-]

i was wondering if anyone knows which is less harmful to ur hair: blowdrying or straightening? i guess u could say my hair is "in recovery" right now...it's really dry and has split ends from being bleached. i hate my natural hair texture, so i straighten my hair every day, but my stylist thinks that i should use a blowdryer instead. what do u think??

Both are damaging to the hair because of the heat involved. You should use them sparingly. Dry your hair partially and then let it finish drying on its own. Don't hold the straightener on there long enough to heat the hair too hot. Always use a daily conditioner when you wash your hair, and a deeper conditioner, such as Nexxus Humectress once a week. Also, keeping the ends trimmed will help it look healthier. There are also hot oil treatments you can buy to use at home that really put the moisture back into your hair.

buy a deep conditioner to help your ends and get the trimmed. and if your using it everyday i think you should just blowdry it.

Blow dryer, a straightner is really bad on your ends cause they are so hot and are right on your hair. plus my hair stylist told me blow drying is better than straightening and i have highlighted hair.

Hair dryer is less harmful but i blowdry everyday and its bad as well. The heat is harmful for all hair types. I think you can straighten your hair like twice a week but spray some leave in conditioner to protect your hair.

both blowdrying and straightening can be damaging and harmful to your hair. straightening is worse though because of the heat straight-on-contact is harmful to your hair causing it to fry, dry-out and ruins your future hair. blowdrying is a lot less damaging because the heat is not straight on to your hair. try to use a "cold shot" on your blowdryer, it helps lock in your curls/straightness and is less damaging.

listen to your stylist, she is right!

blowdrying is less harmful. you should also use a product to protect it from heat. redken smooth down heat glide is a fantastic product.

blowdrying is definately less harmful!

because straightening it is direct heat while blowdrying gives it some space.

but for me that doesnt work as good as straightening it.

i bought a kinda expensive straightener (the SEDU) and it doesnt damage your hair, pull your hair, or make it feal dry. it actually makes it much shinier, smoother, silkier, and softer. so when i started using that my hair was not as damaged. also if you do use it use a heat protectant with it so your hair doesnt get heat damaged.

i used to have split ends and dry hair until i got it cut. my hairstyleist cut 4 inches off my hair. then my hair was to my sholders. that got most of the damaged hair off but my hair was still dry.

so i went and bought a good deep conditioner and also regualr shampoo and conditioner that was for damaged hair.

so what i did was once a week after i got out of the shower i would towel dry my hair a little and (when my hair was still wet) i put the deep conditioner in and put a cap thing on my head. then i left it in for 1 hour. and rinse. after about a month of this my hair was much more healthier. and now i get a trim once a month about 1/2 inch off the ends.

so thats what i did and now i love my hair!!

also if i was you i wouldnt get it bleached anymore. :/

well i hope this works for you!! :]
