    Is blow drying your hair every day bad for it?
    I am 19 and male, and every day after I get out of the shower I blow dry my hair until it get's dry, not too dry, but you know, dry with just a little moisture left. Anyway my hair is short, goes down to my eyes barely if I were to pull my "bangs" down. (I don't have bangs lol)

    And so I ask, will doing this every day (like I am doing) eventually cause hair loss in the long term and will doing this be bad for my hair at all?

    Also does it matter if it's hott or cold? I always blow dry my hair with warm to hott air.

    All inputs greatly appreciated thank you!

    When blow drying your hair you should leave it as long as possible until your hair is kind of damp then begin using the hair dryer and you should spend no more than 5mins blow drying it, cold air is a lot better than hot air, although cold air cause it to become fuzzy, after washing your hair in warm water give it a blast of cold water before toweling it, this helps with frizz, hot air and too much of it will cause hair breakage and spilt ends and also long term damage

    No just when your finsihed rinsing your hair after shampooing give it a blast of cold water, then towel dry and leave it to dry naturally for as long as you can until its just barely damp and then blow dry it with cold air :)
