Worse Form of heat?

What do you girls think is the worse form of heat and frequency? I blow dry my hair straight almost every 2-3 weeks. Has anyone found blowdrying that often to be damaging?

I agree. I think any heat to your hair is not good, but blowdrying 1 out of 2-3 wks is not a terrible thing. Also, alway using a heat protectant is a great idea and minimizes damage to your hair.

I agree with Jesuscrist#1, any form of heat is damaging if used too much, but it dosen't sound like you're over doing it.  You might want to try air drying partially and blow drying after so you arent using so much heat.  And yes, a heat protectant would definitely help.

Also as far as blow drying, how would you know that the heat in one sitting is too much?...for example the sizzling sound during pressing used to get me nervous like my hair was actually being fried (not sure if that is actually true or not but I thought so) Any blow drying warning signs?

Well, for me it's when I have the blowdyer on for a long time and my scalp gets really hot and it hurts. That means it's been on too long or the temperature is too high. Whenever I'm at the salon, however, I'm under a sitting dryer and it doesn't hurt me. My stylist uses Wild Growth Oil. This works well w/ blowdying. As for the ceramic iron I've heard that if u get a paper towel and put the iron on it and u see a singe, that means it's too hot for your hair. Maybe it's similar for a blowydyer? But u'll know if it's too hot for ur hair if it feels too hot.
