Hood dryers are the best heat you can use. Every five days is fine. You can also do deep conditioners with them.

Are you asking about heat or just sitting under the hooded dryer? I love mine (as well as my soft bonnet dryer) and use it with a cool setting for cool air. Those who prefer heat find it works excellent on rollersets and experience only good results.

Right now a hooded dryer is the only heat I use on my hair. The only problem i ever had from dryer heat is that since I have a professional one like they use in the salon if I put the heat on max, it sometimes leave my ends feeling dry. But other then that I love it.

I think using a hooded dryer once every 5 days should be fine. I used to dry my rollersets twice a week with a hooded dryer, and never had any problems. I've since switched to air-dryin them since I'm not using any heat.

I stayed away from the hot setting however, because I find it drying to both my hair and scalp... I used either medium or cool air.

I usually would just let it air dry too after setting because I would be doing other things... I would sit down though for about a half hour and dry... I dont think a hooded dryer is bad because there is no direct heat...

You should be fine if you use the hooded dryer every 5 days for your deep condition, rollerset etc. Short of air drying your hair, that would be the next step up, imo.
