Do hooded dryers damage as much as hot rollers/sticks?

[Maudelynn]

I've gotten really lazy lately as I have figure out how to do a pincurl wave with hot sticks and am using them every time I set my hair. (every 3 to 4 days)
I feel like it is taking a toll on my hair. I was wondering if you ladies found that pin curls under a hooded dryer cause damage? I usually sleep in a pin curl wet set, so I am unsure. I do love the glossy look the hooded dryer gives when I sit under it to give my hot sticks set extra oompf. I have heard hooded dryers/ blow dryers don't actually damage hair, but contact with heating styling tools is what actually does the damage... any thoughts?


Thanks for your advice!

I've never used hot rollers and sticks. I only use a hooded dryer and it has never damaged my hair. My hair is strong and healthy and I deep condition it once per week.
