Does BLow Drying withround brush damage..

     
      hi Aseya,,, i see that ur stressing about ur hair,,
im gonna re to your query about weaves and blow
drying on this page cuz my cp is slow! anyhoo i
sometimes put tracks in my hair ,, they can help u
gro ur hair out since u'll be leaving alot of ur hair
along when its weaved up but they can also damage
the hair and dont put any too near to the front, like u
said in the back is good becuz u can permanently
lose the hair on ur hairlinge from the traction,, my
mom has some issues from braids,, as for the
blouts i have stopped them and quit going to the
salon becuz ripping thru wet hair is damaging and
beyond!! wet hair is extremely vulnerable to damage
and i think thats partly why i have a gazilion weak
spots that keep bending and breaking and
thats why i cannot maintain length but its definitely
improvong since i stopped getting relaxers and
blouts,, what i do now is flat iron my hair so at least it
just one step rather than the blodrying then ironing
and all that wet hair damage,, anyway im writin too
much sigh lololol so if u wanna pm me about
anything please feel free to do that becuz i have
tested sooo many products and i have just figurd out
whats good....

aseya, use photodefreisant if you're gonna do a blowout on your hair, it makes you hair very straight, shiny and full.  I love it!
I have to blowdry at least once a week, and my hair shows no ill effects if I use this stuff.   And it works very well on natural hair (and keeps my newgrowth under control).

I personally love a great blowdry. When I get it done at a salon, it comes out so smooth a silky I can't help but toss my hair over my shoulders and swing my head around hehe. Have you thought of using a ceramic brush instead of a wooden bristle brush? My hairdressing teacher introduced me to metal barrel brushes instead of the wooden ones. She said that she liked those more because it had holes in it that let the air circulate more, hence drying your hair faster. I use a ceramic barrel brush cuz I think those are less damaging and stuff. I was afraid to use those brushes cuz I always thought you had to have a lot of tension to get the hair really straight, and metal brushes never did that for me, but when my instructor blowdried my hair it came out soo smooth!

I just can't get those results myself though, so that's kinda sucky. What do you guys think about this..if I get my hair blowdried twice a week, would that be as damaging as relaxing it and straightening it at home 3 times a week? I would be deep conditioning every shampoo and using heat protectants..

I agree with afrolatina....roller sets are a great alternative to blow drying.  If you are wanting a straighter look you can always wrap your hair after you take the rollers out and sit back under the dryer for a bit, then comb the wrap out.  My mom's stylist does this on her hair and it comes out straight with lots of body.

it also depends on what type of round brush you use. some of them have bristles or something that look like they'll tear your end out

    I go to the salon about evry 2 weeks for blowouts
and last week i got very alarmed when i noticed
some broken hairs laying on my cape, i think that
while she roughly blew out my hair , it was breaking
right there in front of me! It suddenly dawned on me
that maybe i need to stop these blowouts and just
rollerset at hom or i'll never get to the length i want
tho i have never done this b4 ,, im dissapointed
becuz i love blowouts,, are they really this damaging
to the hair,, is the brush..??,, right now my hair is
collar bone length in the front and in the back oddly
its brastrap,, this bugs me too but idont wanna cut
anything till the front grows out......
