Using a blow dryer should not take your natural curl away. It's more likely (depending on your hair type) what you are doing with your hair while drying it may make some difference in how it turns out but only for that one instance. You won't permanently ruin your natural curls. If using a brush to shape the hair or pull it straighter it might change it a little, again depending on ones hair type. I have very fine hair but lots of it. I wear it long but want the natural loose waves. If I run a brush through my hair when blow drying, since I dont have tight curls naturally, I end up straightening and taking the waves out. JUst experiment with it. You can't damage the hair. If you are drying due to lack of time for it to air dry naturally, try sometime to dry it half way so it looks dry but is still feels slightly damp to your touch. And let it continue to dry on its own. I am sure you already know, that it is hot air and other heat treatments that over time damage hair.
