I think it's safe as long as there is some sort of heat on the conditioner to penetrate through your hair.

I do the that on occasion when I do not feel like sitting under my dryer.  Works the same for me.  I just have to remember to move the blow dryer around and not to leave it in one spot for too long.  Also, I cover my head with a shower cap just as I would under my hooded dryer.

Any form of heat applied to the hair can be damaging.  If you put a shower cap on before you use the blow dryer it should help.

I never heard of drying it in a shower cap. How does that work Pokahontas? How does it help, I mean.

that's b/c she's not trying to completely dry it...just letting the conditioner penetrate her hair and make it soft then she'll rinse the conditioner out

She is talking about deep conditioning and not drying completely.  I always use a shower cap when I deep condition under the dryer so it would work the same way if using a handheld dryer like she does.

I actually do the blow dryer thing,, if ur talking about
deep conditioning,, and not drying the hair,, i apply
the conditioner,,cover with a plastic cap ,, use the
hand dryer to heat it up a bit then put on another cap
to hold the warmth in,, be careful with that dryer tho,,
not to burn your hair and dont keep it it one spot , and
dont hold it too close to your head
Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED
