It’s commonly known that applying heat to your hair can damage it.
According to celebrity hairstylist Ashley Streicher told Who What Wear (via Yahoo!
Life), using heat on your hair can have a detrimental effect.

“Without proper protection, high-heat irons will just burn and break your hair off,” she said.
“Overusing heat on your hair consistently is the biggest way to damage your hair.”
Consequently, you should not use heat on your hair on a daily basis.

For this reason, some people blow dry hair until it’s damp and then let it fully dry.
However, you don’t want to use a bath towel.
A microfiber towel will be more absorbent while also providing a softer and lighter touch.

Air dry cream is specially formulated to keep hair moisturized while drying.
Air-drying products should be applied while hair is damp, according toJVN.
It’s best when applied from the middle of your strands to the ends.
To ensure that all locks are sufficiently protected, use a wide-brim comb to evenly disperse the cream.
