Air-dry or blow-dry - which is worse for your mane?

We're often warned about the heat damage caused by using a hairdryer, but does this mean it's better to let our tresses dry naturally? You might be surprised to find out that air-drying comes with its own set of risks too.

Arica Sen, senior retail education manager at PHS Hairscience, explains that wet hair has a high tendency to become tangled and frizzy. Also, the additional weight of water on hair leads to added stress on follicles, which causes hair to "stretch", hence weakening the follicles. Plus, leaving your hair wet for an extended period can attract bacteria and fungus, causing scalp inflammation and clogged follicles.
