Does anyone know any websites that actually talk about the damage that hair straighteners or culing irons, or hair dye do to your hair?Do straighteners,curling irons,blow dryers, hair dye damage hair?
mostly hair straighteners will cause damage when used alot. but all of them will do a little damage, because of the heat.

depends on how you want to style your hair.





1) styler dryer if you want to blow dry your hair straight


2) use the hood dryer if you are doing sets (rollersets, wrap sets)


3) i think the only use for a common hair dryer is if you add a diffuser on to it, in order to keep your hair in the curl pattern it's in when wet.Which is best to style african american hair? A hood dryer, hair dryer, or one of those side dryers and why?
I have an ionic styler and ionic hood. Never really used the brush attachment, but when I blow dry my hair I start with the wide tooth, then the fine tooth to get it straight. But I prefer the hood for all reasons previously stated - some styles you just can't do without a hood dryer. Now, I just used a regular blow dryer here at the hotel with my paddle brush because I had to wash my hair. Fine for drying, but unless you have a fresh relaxer, yanno we have to manipulate our hair straighter. If you can only afford 1, go for the hood.
hood dryer all the way. its safe to use because its not a lot of direct heat. plus, the amounts of styles that you can use with it is endless. plus, you can use it when deep conditioner - trust me, your hair will thank you for it.
a hood drier because it does not dry hair to quickly and leaves in some of your natural oils. Plus it's comfy, for all hair types---black, white, etc.
hood dryer. I have one and it evenly dries the hair plus the heat isn't directly on the hair like a regular blow dryer would do.
a hood dryer is the best because it thoroughly dries the hair, while adding smoothness and giving you a frizz free finish

  • What is needed to enable use of Australian 240v hair dryers, hair rollers and irons while travelling in USA?

    The other answers are correct and a voltage converter is required (plus a plug adapter if the converter is not equipped with a USA plug).





    However, my experience is that appliances like you list do


    NOT work well on another voltage - even with a converter.





    I recommend you simply purchase the items in the USA after you arrive. They are available everywhere and are not expensive in the USA.





    It may even cost less than purchasing a converter, particularly since the USD has been taking a beating in the exchange markets.What is needed to enable use of Australian 240v hair dryers, hair rollers and irons while travelling in USA?
    You will need two items. One is a voltage adapter. Australia uses 240v electricity. The US uses 120v. You will also need a plug adapter. Australia and the US use different electrical outlets, so you can't just plug an appliance from one country into an outlet in the other country.What is needed to enable use of Australian 240v hair dryers, hair rollers and irons while travelling in USA?

    How do i get dryer hair?

    It's really not that bad for me at all, but i wish my hair was dry. like really dry. I have short hair and i shake my head a lot and put hair spray in it every morning (pureology, serious colour care, antifade complex, in charge plus, firm finishing spray... that's what the bottle says. it's just one product.) Is there anything I could do to make my hair dryer? I like my hair messy and kinda spiky and I straighten it every morning, but sometimes it just looks a little greasy and it makes me angry.How do i get dryer hair?
    Wash it every day and shampoo twice, no conditioner!


    blow dry it quickly and on a hot heat.How do i get dryer hair?
    For me it helps when i dry it upside down with the blowdryer.


    Also, what might work for you, I don't know if you have it in your area (Im from the Netherlands) but we have something called dry shampoo. It's like a spray, some sort of white powder and it's meant to use when youre hair is a bit greasy and you don't have time to wash it. It smells sooooo good and also makes your hair alot dryer but not permanently, only when you use it. so for like a day.


    Hope this helps!
    My hair stylist gave me smooth by Paul Mitchell. It helps cut dry time in half and you can style it and it doesn't look greasy at all. I think that work for ya, good luck

    Blow dryer hair damage?

    Ok, I just started to use a blow dryer for hair (I am a guy with medium length hair). I know it can cause heat damage, but I am wondering...just how much? Is it permanent...like tattoo permanent? Or can it be fixed?





    I've been told there is stuff you can use to protect your hair, but I don't want to buy any expensive products. I do have some Fructuse hair putty (which is close to gel) and some other stuff that makes the hair more moldable, but it doesn't become hard like would, so you can continue to mess with the hair.





    Anyway, I really just need to know how damaging it is.Blow dryer hair damage?
    I really dont think its too damaging. I blow dry my hair almost everyday and it isnt dry at all. Just use a lower setting then comepletely on hot, like use a warm setting. Also if your blow dryer has a cooling setting, everytime after i blow dry my hair, or if im blow drying it and am not comepletely done yet but my hair feels really hot, i cool it done with the cool setting.
