Whats worse for my hair? Blow drying or Straightening?

Question

After I shower, if I let my hair air-dry, it gets wavy and frizzy, so I have to straighten it. But if I blow-dry my hair, it looks just like it does after I straighten it. I just want to know what I should do more often. What is worse for my hair? Blow drying it or straightening it?

Answer 1

straighting is deffinately more damaging.

so stop using the straigtner and use the blow-dryer instead.

blow dryers are also damaging, so what you can do is buy a blow dryer with the three heat settings [hot, warm, and cool]. and you should always use the warm or cool [cool is best, but takes longer to dry] setting never the hot, because it is way more damaging.

Answer 2

try frizz ease, that will destroy friziness.

straightening is worse, cause it makes hair get burnt, and if you do it to many times, it will make hair dull and crusty.

Answer 3

Straightening it,when you straighten your hair the heat goes directly to your hair because you are touching it with the straightener but with a blow dryer all that is touching you is the hot air like wind going through your hair  

Answer 4

Straightening is definitely worse because your hair is in closer contact with the heat. But either way, you should get a heat protection spray, from like, Garnier just to protect your hair whenever you're styling it whether you're blowdrying, straightening or using a curler.

Answer 5

you need to try using some leave in moisturizes for the frizzyness, it will help keep the frizzes smooth. also use heat protectors on your hair before you blow dry and again before you straighten. it will help put a coating of product around your hair so that the heat is not directly heating up ur cuticles and drying out your hair.

TO be honest both is really bad for the hair, but if you have to choose, straighting is way worse, so I recommend blow drying, PS. My stylist would say don't do either it's bad either way! but come on us girls have to do one or the other! GOOD LUCK!

Answer 9
