i do quite often, i kept it on a low intensity when the dreads were still young to try to reduce the loose hairs frizzing, but with mature dreads it seems fine

Its ok for them but i found that if you let them air dry they dread allot faster especially if you wash them right before you go to bed and just sleep with them wet!

okay thanks for your help!

use the cool setting

i blow dry mine every time i wash them... once a week or so. i haven't noticed any damage.

I prefer to dry mine in the breeze, but when necessary I will use the blowdryer on a warm or cool setting. My best to you!

Thanks for everyone's advise!

10 months ago when I washed my hair in the evenings I used to sit under an overhead dryer. They cost 20-30 dollars. Now I would let it air dry, if you go to a beauty supply store or the ethnic hair section at walmart you can just buy a satin finish pillow case cover for 2 dollars so your hair can breathe while you sleep.

I blow dry on low, on the warm setting. I also used to put a nylon cap over them for the first few months and it helped a lot with the frizzies. (I just cut the leg off a pair of pantyhoes.)
