blow drying applies heat directly to each strand of hair. the speed in which the hair dries is actually a negative because the water is basically being "burned" off each strand. if done excessively or without heat protectant can cause damage to the cuticle of the hair and lead to breakage, etc.
rollersetting uses a lower heat setting than blow dryers and the hot air doesn't directly touch each strand of hair. instead the heat circulates through the dryer and only directly touches some of the hair. the hair directly hit by the heat is hair that is usually in the middle of the strand which is stronger than the entire length of the hair being exposed to hot air like in blow drying. also because the air circulates through the dryer and your hair is wet, the water evaporates, allowing the hair to dry, opposed to the water being "burned" off by the hot air of a blow dryer.
a good way to think of it, is slow baking something with a foil cover on top so the food steams and remains moisturized but still cooks. opposed to frying something in a dry pan. (typing that just made me want some fried chicken.....

I know some of her responses were controversial, but....dang 
. I enjoyed reading her posts. She kept me thinking, even if I didn't agree. Thanks for the info!
You don't have to. Some do and some don't. It all depends on what you are comfortable with.
To me, it sounds like your hair doesn't like the products you're using OR it could be your bunning technique. My moisturizer is Bee Mine Balanced Cream Moisturizer and seal with avocado oil. I ponytail my hair and then fan my hair around (like how you would if you were doing a donut bun) to form a bun and pin the hair. So my "tucking my ends" is done with fanning my hair around in a bun. I don't actually tuck my ends under the ponytail holder. Hope that makes sense. Questions? Let me know.
Thank You Divachyk. From what you just said, I think I see what my problem is now.
Try it and let me know how it works.Thank You Divachyk. From what you just said, I think I see what my problem is now.
I often wondered this and what I have found that it's situational, based on your hair needs. I typically work with my hair in 4 quadrants and was trying to stick with a nickel size amount per quadrant. To me, that wasn't enough, so now I just use my judgment. I apply until I feel it's enough. I find that I need more product when I'm deeper in a stretch than when I'm freshly TU'd. I'd be interested to hear if others find something different than what I have.
Thanks, I also wondered what SSK stood for
you've answered that question too....To help further understand them, Mwedzi created a thread that included pictures of them.Thanks, I also wondered what SSK stood for
Wow, these things are interesting!
