Using a hair dryer daily might save time, but it can have long-term effects on your hair health. Here are five common side effects of frequent hair dryer use:

The high heat from a hair dryer can strip moisture from your hair, making it dry, brittle, and more prone to frizz. Over time, this can weaken the hair strands.

Constant exposure to heat can break down the hair’s protein structure, leading to split ends and hair thinning. Lower heat settings and heat protectants can help reduce this damage.

Blasting hot air directly on the scalp can cause dryness, itching, and even dandruff. It’s best to keep the dryer at a safe distance from your scalp.

Weakened hair strands from heat exposure are more likely to break. Over time, this can make your hair look thin and uneven.

High heat can damage the hair cuticle, making hair look dull and lifeless. Using a cool air setting or applying a leave-in conditioner can help restore shine.
