SAEDNEWS: You might be curious to learn how blow-drying or not blow-drying can impact our hair.
According to SAEDNEWS, it's generally recommended to dry your hair naturally and avoid heat-based hair tools whenever possible. However, the natural texture of your hair determines that both methods have their own pros and cons.
The primary concern with using a blow dryer is the damage it causes to the outer layer of hair strands. The combination of intense heat and concentrated airflow dries out and makes hair brittle. Conversely, drying hair naturally without using a blow dryer is believed to strengthen and keep hair healthy. Yet, an important point to consider is that the longer hair stays wet, the more susceptible it becomes to damage.
Washing hair with warm water and shampoo opens up the cuticles, making hair prone to friction. Friction, such as contact with clothing or a pillow, can gradually lead to hair damage and split ends. Depending on the natural texture of your hair, both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. To minimize blow-drying damage, use cool air and keep the dryer at a distance from your hair. This prevents concentrated hot air from staying too long on one part, which can lead to dehydration and breakage. Before blow-drying, towel-dry your hair to remove seventy percent of the moisture, reducing the time you need to use the blow dryer.
