What setting should I use on my hair dryer?

A hair dryer should always be used on the lowest setting that is effective for your purpose. Use the high speed and high heat setting—and keep the dryer moving—when removing excess moisture from towel-dried hair. When hair is about 75-80% dry, switch to a lower heat and speed setting to style your hair.

What is the best temperature for drying hair?

For thicker hair, the range of 300 to 375 is safe. While for thinner hair, remaining below 290 degrees Fahrenheit is ideal.

Is it better to use cold setting on hair dryer?

Blow drying with hot air is faster than drying with cold air, and it's an effective way to change your style (for example, blow drying your wavy hair straight or adding volume to limp hair). On the other hand, cold air seals the cuticle of the hair shaft for a smooth and shiny finish and helps your style stay in place.

Why is it important to set the hairdryer to medium or low setting mode?

Low heat. If hair is fine, Scandizzo only ever uses a medium to low heat “so you can control the texture better and stop it from going fluffy”. Fine hair is more susceptible to heat damage because your strands are delicate and naturally weaker, which is why it's important to get the heat setting right.

Is it better to dry hair on high or low heat?

Celebrity hairstylist Bridget Brager adds that while blow drying your hair with hot hair may be faster, the heat can be damaging, and using cold air is actually healthier. "Styling hair at a lower temperature is imperative to maintain hair health," she says.
