Question

and I use the blowdryer to straighten my hair once a week.. is that gonna damage my hair?

Answer 1

Blow drying and flat ironing hair does damage to hair whether you put a heat protector on your hair or not. To combat this, every week before you wash your hair....do a hot oil treatment.

Answer 2

over time but not if you use a heat resistant product like Nexxus Heat Glide(at salons or online)

Answer 3

blow drying does damage somewhat (but less if you use protection products) and when you have hair,, it either wants to be straight or wavy/curly. if you like to leave it curly one day and straighten the next, over some time it will probably confuse your hair and damage more.

Answer 4

Not blow drying is waaayyy better then using an iron, an iron will kill your hair.

Answer 5

blow dry will do damage....
