Cool Air Blow Dryer= No Damage??

I used cool air instead of air drying a month ago, and it is better than using heat. I still feel like speeding up the drying process no matter what heat setting will never give me the softness and moisture I get from just air drying.

I know this thread is old but bajanplums1 can you do an update on this post.

I am doing this. I have 4b hair and drying cool actually made my hair hard in the past, so I didn't like to do it. I found a combo that works for me which is cool setting at medium/low speed with a leave-in and heat protectant. I also use a denman to hold my detangled hair taut and then near the end of the blow dry on the section, I use a round brush on my ends. This is the softest my hair has ever been with a blow dry, but I can't speak to the breakage as I have only done this twice in the past couple weeks.

I'm doing the same thing, but with a warm shot to make my heat-activated leave-in's work. There was a study about this, basically saying that it's healthier to lightly blow-dry instead of air-drying. Air drying hair may be more damaging than blow drying!
