    Depends on if you consider this blow-dried: I let my hair air dry, then I run a brush through it with the cold setting on the blow dryer.

    I voted air, because I used to blowdry everytime I washed my hair. Whilst my hair is less controlled now it is healthier- which to me means more beautiful.

    I voted blow fried. But, I use the blowdryer only about one or two times a year cause I am afraid to damage my hair by daily using. I only use the cool setting for a few minutes.

    It makes a huge difference for me, my hair looks like silk with a lot of volume and so shiny, it feels also so much better - I have to stop thinking about that now or I will bring out the dryer again.

    I chose air-dried, but I used to think blow dried. I was raised being told there was something wrong with my hair because it wasn't straight, it wasn't curly, so it was wrong. To remedy this I was made to sit with a comb and drag it through my thick hair until it was dried to hopefully make it straight. This never worked, and took forever even with my super short hair.

    So I always thought my hair had to be straight to be pretty. My hair used to be pretty straightened with a blow dryer...though I'm not sure if my perception has changed or if my hair has changed. About 4 months ago I decided to blow dry it straight. I always used high heat, high blowing and a big, metal barrel brush and slowly go down my hair. I tried this technique, my hair felt and looked awful in comparison to my air dried hair. I'm hoping I remember that experiment and don't duplicate it again, my hair felt and looked like straw.

    Both have their pros and cons. When mine is blowdried it is shinier and less frizzy, but it loses it's natural wave and the shape is more boring. Also,it dries my hair out, so I havn't blow dried for about a year. I'm trying to find other ways to make my hair shinier and less frizzy.

    My hair looks better blow dried, but I hardly ever do it. It smoothes it out and it appears shinier. I don't think it would look good if I blowdried it more than the once or twice a year that I do it, but for once in a while special occasions wearing it loose, it looks cool.

    It's airdrying for me. I haven't blowdried since I was little and my mom would make us blowdry it before coming out in the cold with wet hair from our swimming classes. I wouldn't dream of starting now. I would think my curls would turn really frizzy with a blowdrier.

    I do both and like both. Very different results.

    When I blow dry it's with a diffuser on low for five minutes, and not to all the way dry. Curlier curls and more definition.

    I couldn't blow-dry my hair. It eats a lot of time and leave my hair dull,frizzy,dry
