We know, we know — you just don't feel like "you" without a smooth and shiny head of hair. But people who have taken the bold step of divorcing their blow dryers report that after they got used to a less polished look, they actually began to accept and enjoy the look of their hair's natural texture. "I was also afraid of volume growing up," one woman told HuffPost, adding that she'd only stopped using her hairdryer at her hairdresser's urging, because her tresses had gotten so damaged. She was surprised that her naturally curly hair was a better look for her. "But now that I'm older, [I've realized] my face doesn't look good with stick-straight, flat hair. I was born with this hair because it fits with my face."
Another former hot tools addict noticed that her hair was shinier, with fewer split ends and less shedding. And not only that, but her dyed hair held its color longer, and all the time she used to spend on hair drying could instead be spent on styling her hair with fun braids and hair ties (per CheatSheat).
