Is blow drying bad for your hair?

Question

Would it change my hair color? What other problems would blow drying cause? Right now I have black hair, and it is very thick, and a little bit wavy. I blow dry my hair, every other day.

Answer 1

It can't change your hair colour, but it really does damage your hair. Put heat protector in or just keep the blow dryer at a low setting.  

Answer 2

As Long As You Use Heat Protectent U Should Be Fine.

Answer 3

it wont change your hair color. it will however eventually cause your hair to ge fragile as the years pass...and it def. causes split ends. the best thing for hair especially if you have wavy hair is to towel dry and brush with a pick..then let it finish drying on its own.

Answer 5

I don't think it would change the hair color. But, before you blow dry use a spray protective for blow drying, you can pick it up at WalMart, Walgreens or any other retail store and it doen't cost that much. It will protect your hair from drying out.

Answer 6

It is bad for your hair, but so is brushing, tongs & straighteners and even the sun. I don't think blow drying would change your colour, but just in case use a suitably shampoo and conditioner which helps hold your colour in longer.

Answer 7

<3 It's fine, just dont do it all the time. It's a lot better than straightening though! <3

Answer 8

Blow dryers are time savers but if you use them too much it can damage your hair.  I usually air dry mine.  It also saves energy but if you are going to school and you need to dry your hair put the plug in.  Just don't use it too much.  

Answer 9

If your hair is coming out when you blow dry it thats bad. You dont need to put heat on it every day it causes your hair to break off

Answer 10

Yay it is harmful 2 use heat alot on your hair it damages it and breaks it.If you want 2 use it alot apply hair creme's and leave in conditioners before using your blow dryer.

Answer 11

I blow dry my hair everyday and my hair is soft,shiny, and not damaged at all. I havnt seen a change in my hair color. I use Pantene Ice Shine shampoo and conditioner and I use a hair heat protector that you can just get at like Target. I think that if you have a hair heat protector then you are fine (:

Answer 12

It won't change your hair color, that's a fact.

Blowing dry your hair every other day may affect your hair -it may become weak and break easy- only if you use your blower in high temperature, to prevent it, use a heat protector, you can find one in any drug store.
