  Hi guys, I was posting here quite a while ago but time passed in between. This is the handle I was using earlier. One of my earlier posts was message 153700.

  My hair is not long now but it's not short by usual definitions of men's hair. It's sort of a one length bob (hehe, yes). I'll grow longer again if it can look good in my own estimation, so I have to solve the problems I had about dryness, frizz and flyaways.

  My questions are about hair dryers and drying.

  1) My partner says that you must dry your hair if it's wet because when it's wet, it falls more easily (like a plant in wet soil might come lose more easily). Any truth to this?

  2) In a video on youtube it was recommended that I use a high quality hair dryer if I am going to dry my hair, one that is "ceramic ionic". Does quality of hair dryer make a difference to the brittleness, flyawayness of hair?

  Thanks

    There are mixed views here on whether to use hair dryer or not. I use leave in conditioner every day I do and have no problems resulting.

    However to say that you must have either an "expensive" or "ceramic ionic" (whatever that might be) hair dryer is arrant nonsense and smack of people who do not know what they are talking about. Heat is heat is heat and there is no meaningful variation in source. Buy a hair dryer which is powerful for your ease but whatever you can afford is fine.

    When it comes to hair dryers, the jury is still out on whether the ionic type actually work better or not. I did purchase one a couple years ago and it does work better than my previous non-ionic one. Is it the ionic part or is it just a better drier I can't say. The ionic theory is that the negative ions reduce the size of the water droplets so more moisture stays in your hair and makes your hair cuticle smoother. One thing I can say for certain is using a large diffuser makes a world of difference. It allows a lot of heat without a lot of air flow that could tangle your hair. I use mine daily and I don't see any problems.
