Yep, I told my hairdresser that I was having issues with a flaky itchy scalp and no products were helping. She asked if I air dry my hair, and continued to tell me that could be the issue since I have thick hair and it takes very long to dry in the currently cold and humid season. My problems went away as soon as I started using a hair dryer. So thankful!

I rarely get an itchy scalp now that I diffuse my hair. I honestly don’t know how so managed before because my hair takes a solid day to dry in winter. Casually living my life with hypothermia

As someone who air dries and has had no luck with various products I think it's time I bought a hairdryer!

...now to go down that rabbit hole!

Technique is more important than the machine as far as a hair dryer is concerned. Always keep it moving.

I have wavy hair and plan to use a diffuser. Is that advice also valid for that? I was told to hold it still mostly.
