I answered your silicone question because you asked but like mentioned before, (1) it takes a long time to accumulate damage from them, therefore (2) the damage from them won't be great if you have relatively short hair (your hair will be a year old, maximum, before it is cut off).
It's not something to worry about, I just used a poor analogy that prompted a question.
Hmm.. Thanks ladies! Are there any advantages that hte hot
setting has over the cool setting with styling? ... Or just
hte disadvantage that I'll have to hold onto that blue button?
One disadvantage is that it seems to melt the clay that I use in my
hair and it makes it shiny and easier to control until it hardens iwth
teh cool function. I guess I should just beware of heat overkill.
The only purpose I can see for using heat is for quick setting, such as
electric rollers, curling irons and straightening irons. These
are all damaging, but if you need to style it a certain way fast they
are the quickest way to go. Since a blow dryer is blowing your
hair around, I don't see any advantage to using it on the hot setting
except that it may make the water evaporate off of your hair
faster. So, heat's great if you're in a hurry and not worried
about damage (and anyone who keeps somewhat short hair probably doesn't
need to be worried about this kind of damage, as its cumulative).
In general, cool should make hair more shiny (one reason to rinse hair
with cool water last in the shower), so the shinyness you get with heat
must solely be from the clay. There are other ways to get shine
without heat.
You are right, its all in what works for you and the style of hair you like to have.
