Question about blowdrying

I was wondering if blowdrying your hair with the "cool" mode would be alright for you hair?  Does it still damage as much as heat does??

Thanks

I've never owned a blow dryer that had a cool setting so I've never known exactly how cool the air can be... But it sounds great  It would work like air drying. As long as you blow "downward" (pointing towards the ends of your hair) I think it should be fine.

There's a theory that blowdrying your hair "upwards" (pointing towards the root of the hair) will blow opposite to the direction of your cuticle ... and possibly cause breakage. Having no personal experience with blowdrying (at least not in the past 8+ years)... I haven't a clue.  If it works for you without causing breakage or otherwise, go for it!

We use microfiber towels and then air dry Well, some of us. It takes about the same amount of time to air dry mid-back length hair as it takes for super long hair, because ... just imagine the moisture leaving "outwards" from the hair, instead of leaving "downwards".

Or what I like to do is use a microfiber towel and then damp-braid to set waves, or sock curl to set curls.

Edited to add: however it DOES take "forever" to dry if your hair is thick.  

Perhaps it does take forever to dry, but then again, if I don

Well i'm finding that the cool mode shoots really really cold hair out....which doesn't help because we onlyhave a bath..no shower...and I try to take cool baths....so I end up cold...But it does leave my hair feeling really soft and not dried out....I really like it..I'd suggest it to anyone!
