Next week, I'm due for a dusting as well as a flat ironing to check length.
For about a month, I have only been air drying. So far, my hair likes it. It does not dry crunchy but is nice and soft. However, because my ends are poofy, it requires a bit more heat from a flat iron to get them straight (now, I just bought a Solia flat iron which I will be using for the first time Saturday). Also, note that I don't flat iron more than once a month nowadays.
I've noticed that when I roller set (I use the low/warm heat setting, not high...unfortunately the dry only has two heat settings), I can get away with using a cooler temperature when I flat iron.
So which is probably better for the hair:
Air drying and then using a fairly hot flat iron (only passing over the hair once)?
Or roller setting and using a cooler flat iron (possibly having to pass over the hair about 2 times)?
