My mom used to tell me to blowdry my hair but I stopped because I thought it was boring and didn't do anything. But at the time I also thought the same thing about teeth brushing. And that didn't work out great.

Do you blowdry your hair?

My mom would blowdry my hair everyday when I was younger because she refused to believe my hair wasn't straight. I wasn't allowed out of the house or in front of guests unless my hair was straight.
My hair has some curl to it and looks fine without blowdrying. I'll blowdry it like three times a year if I need to dry it quickly.

No. I don't own a blow dryer even.
But heat tends to damage hair, not be good for it, so you aren't losing anything by not using one.

I blow dry my bangs because otherwise they do crazy things. The rest of my hair I let air dry. My hair is naturally curly/wavy and with the right haircut it looks like it's been styled despite my complete and utter laziness.
Back when I had long, luxurious hippy hair I did. These days I just buzz my head every couple of months so no need.
Nope. Even when I had hair down to the middle of my back I'd just pat it dry and let the air do the rest.
It was a late stage discovery for me. Helps fluff it up and make it seem full so much. I went so many years with 'flattened' hair that probably looked awful. I was never good at making myself look great. But i highly recommend trying it. Makes styling it so much easier.
Yeah I do, unless it is a lazy day for me and I can just wait until it dries before I style my hair. Looks better when I blow-dry though.
To blow dry your hair?!
I blow dry mine; takes only a few minutes.
Yeah I blow dry more often than not on days where I'm going to be out and about. It has a lot of styling benefits in addition to convenience.
To get mine fully dry it can take around that time, yes.
Thick-ass hair.
My hair is long and super-thick. I also dry it on the lowest setting so as not to heat damage it.
I have semi-long hair (goes to the base of my neck) and I recently started blow-drying. If you get a quality rig, it can really help maintain your hair and avoid the boom-bust cycle of going from oily-looking dirty hair to super dry and hard to style clean hair.
Do the heavy lifting with hot/warm (continuiously move the dryer so you don't burn it). Then, set it with cool and apply products. It'll cut your time in half.
Yep, got a mop of curly hair that takes hours to air dry. Had to brave the women's section to get one with a diffuser which when combined with a cooler setting protects my hair.
Thanks internet, wish someone told me this years ago, wouldn't have kept it short for so many years.

Thanks. I'll keep this in mind next time.
That and I should really just manage my time better with my hair. š
I usually let my hair air dry for about 10-15 minutes and then I'll spray on some heat protector and finish with low-to-medium heat. If I want my hair to look presentable while wearing it down I have to use a flat-iron anyways, so I tend not to worry about any heat damage from blow-drying as my hair is going to come into direct contact with 300F heat 2-3 times a week anyways.
