My mom told me to not blow dry my hair a whole lot because the heat can hurt it and cause it to start breaking. I'm trying to grow my hair out really long and come back to school with long, beautiful hair as a new look next school year. I like to style my hair though and I have this setting on the hair drier that says COOL. Now, if I start blow drying my hair on the COOL setting will it still damage or hurt my hair in any way? I mean, it's not HOT heat or anything...it's just like cool, regular air...
The best thing to do is to use a heat protection spray everytime you use any kind of heat source on your hair (straighteners, curlers, hair dryers etc). Just spritz it through your hair before you style it. I use one by TRESeme but there are loads of different brands out there to suit different hair types and budgets.
Another tip is to regularly use a deep conditioning treatment. This will maintain and improve the condition of your hair. Like the heat protection spray, there are loads of different types out there to choose from. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]

k so blow drying/curling/straightening your hair all damage your hair because of the heat - drying on cool will not damage as much but still will do some damage. Your best bet is to either keep doing what you are doing just go every three weeks to hair salon and get your split ends cut off - hair will grow much faster.
A home remedy I know about is this
You get some eggs in a bowl, take out the yellow part (middle) of the egg and throw it away put the rest on your scalp... it wont smell.. the part that smells is the thick yellow middle part.. leave in head for one (1) hour and then shower. If you do this lets say once a week?? You will see a difference!
