I have one and I used to use it every once in a while if it was taking too long to air dry. I can't say I have never had any problems with it because although I never noticed any breakage or dryness while I was doing my hair, after I finished blow drying it, I would look up and see a wall full of my hair. Even when my hair was in better condition this happened. That dryer was initially made for men to blow out their shorter natural hair. I don't think it was meant for a woman with longer hair to use.

Just this past weekend a girlfriend of mine washed and shampooed my hair, then used a blowdrier (on a warm setting) to dry my hair. I think it was the first time this year that my hair has been subject to one. I asked her to pull it all back in a ponytail since i'd be working out regularly.
I blowdried my hair with a comb attachment this past weekend. I didn't notice any excess breakage or shedding. It did feel drier than usual but after moisturizing and oiling, it was good to go. I don't like the way my hair feels though. It feels stiff and coarse, while rollersetting leaves my hair with more bounce and silkiness.

Before joining LHCF I used a blow dryer with a comb attachment weekly. My hiar grew but it always felt dry no matter which protectant I used. I ALWAYS found those little hair in the sink and on my clothing.
The few times I have used a blow dryer the past couple months I have used it on a cool setting. I still hated how my hair felt after even I used a heat protectant and a moisturizer. I will get under a hooded dryer though. If I have to use heat I usually use my hood dryer or my soft bonnet. They don't make my hair as dry.
I say if it works for you go for it. For me the less heat the better.

Whenever I do blow dry (rarely), I use a paddle brush. I always have breakage with the comb but none with the brush.
