Answer 3

Air dry for sure. Blow drying wrecks hair!

Answer 4

of course air drying is a lot better, but if you wash your hair in the morning and let it air dry on your way to work/ school in the morning of some cold weather, you could catch a cold and develop frequent migraines.  

blow drying can damage hair but you wouldn't be risking as much damage as long as you use an ionic hair dryer.  and you can get those at walmart/ target for less than $20!

good luck!

Answer 5

Any heat applied to your hair is damaging to your hair. So let me answer your question by saying that air drying your hair is defiantly the best for your hair. Heat removes the natural oils and moisture from your hair and can dry it out and cause breakage. Especially if you over dry past the point of dry when styling which is easy to do. Let me ad by saying flat ironing is direct heat and should never be used with out first applying thermal protecting products to the hair. Hair should also be given a break a couple of days a week from all heat treatments.

Answer 7

Answer 8

It is healthier to let the hair air dry. The only con air drying and flat ironing is that it is sometimes harder to straighten your curly roots. If you do decide to blow dry and flat iron your hair;  make sure that you shampoo, deep condition and use a heat protectant prior to blow dry and flat ironing you hair.  

Answer 9

Air dry. If you do blow dry your hair use a heating serum first, that way you won't wreck your hair! :D Hope I could help!! :D
