they're both harmful, but ceramic straightener
you can apply products to your hair first that will protect it against the heat, though. i know chi has some good ones, but they're expensive of courseWhich is more harmful to hair the ceramic straightener or the blow dryer?
As long as you're not burning your hair with the implements, neither the blow dryer nor the ceramic straightener is damaging to your hair. Now I know this goes against most popular opinions of what people have heard, but most of them were misinformed to begin with. The blow dryer, for example, just blows hot air. How can that possibly be damaging to your hair? It can't. But, what can damage your hair is your round brush. It can have a similar effect to hair as a pair of open scissors does to a curling ribbon. So, its the brush and its bristles that truly cause split ends. Now the ceramic straightener has two hot plates clamping down on the hair shaft. With heat on both sides of the hair shaft it will actually help to lay down the cuticle layer. Some even perceive a flat iron can be good for your hair. Unlike a curling iron, with heat only from the barrel. That causes the cuticle layer to expand and causes split ends. Flat ironing also makes the hair feel softer and will help to prevent tangles. Tangles are caused by the raised cuticle layers of different hairs grabbing onto each other.
So, it's really not the equipment that is damaging to the hair. It's how people use the equipment that is damaging to the hair. Holding the blow dryer in a certain spot for too long can burn your hair. And pausing with a flat iron can do the same. Just keep the heat moving and it won't damage anything.Which is more harmful to hair the ceramic straightener or the blow dryer?
Straightener is more harmful.
ceramic because its on-contact. the heat is actually touching and putting pressure on your hair,.
