Damage from Conair Hooded Dryer

[hot_pepper96]

I have a Conair Hooded Dryer. It only has two heat settings: high and low. I always dry my hair on low for 45 mins to an hour. When I rollerset I only apply UBH Dew Spray moisturizer and Santa Fe Leave-In serum to my hair. I've been noticing since I stopped oiling between the rollers, that my curls have been coming out bouncy but dry and the ends brittle.

Before I would use WGO between the rollers and let it marinate over night. Then, I would go under the dryer in the morning for like 20 mins. Should I use a heat protectant now on my hair too to stop this dryness?

i would use a heat protectant any time i got under the dryer. i like CHI silk infusion.

I agree with the bolded part. I use Proclaim Heat Protectant from Sally's.

I have retired my conair hard hood dryer because the heat was too high and concentrated on the top of the head. My hair broke off like crazy on the top a year ago, ruining a year of progress. I have since purchased a Gold n hot dryer which is lower heat with more settings and more even air flow. I still feel sad when I see the areas that broke off and have not caught up with the rest of my hair yet. I'm definitely more careful with dryers now.

It could just be the products your using and not the dryer.
