I don't have a hair dryer - instead of using that, can I just leave it on for an hour or so and get the same effect? My hair is really damaged.

Yes. I use it as a regular conditioner daily ( I have really curly hair and so I just conditioner wash and go.) But once a week I leave it in for 30-40 minutes after a complete wash. I've recommended this product to a lot of my friends and it really works!!! I would advise that you put a little bit of olive or coconut oil in your hair while deep conditioning. It will help you lock in moisture and nutrients after you wash it out.

Yes. I do that. Cover your hair with a shower cap and add a scarf. That way you generate some heat. I've even left it in overnight.

If you use a curling iron on wet hair, then I guess this could be used the same way. However, I think that it would take a LONG time to dry the hair. There is not a blower in this tool. I dry my hair, apply a little bit of mousse, and use the brush iron. This is very much like a curling iron.

I just blow dry. I don't think your hair will just be straight from it air drying.

Hi KORNfed, we'd recommend leaving the conditioner sit at least overnight, or for 24 hours, if possible. In many cases, it will dry and absorb in as little as two hours. There is no harm for leaving it for two days if that is your preference. Thanks!

I actually leave it in my hair for up to an hour sometimes. However, my haor stylist once said there is a thing called over conditioning. But i rather over than under. Hope this helpsm

I wouldn't. It is so heavy that your hair probably would end up very greasy. My hair is extremely damaged (it was breaking off left and right and looked like hay) I keep it in for about an hour each time I use it. It has done wonders.

What I have done with this treatment is massage this in to my scalp real good and give it about 20 - 30 min so in can absorb well, then use your blow dryer on cool. This is what I do and I have had no problems. Granted everyones hair is different so I sugguest experimenting a little. I love this product. Hope this helps.

You can, but it made my hair look fried! Even when I let it air dry it looked fried.

My answer is yes, it is better use a converter, which is quite inexpensive these days. I got mine at TJ Maxx. I never used my hair dryer without a converter, so I do not know what will happen if you use without it. Hope this helps.

My hair is slightly thin and it has done no more damage than my straightener. Just use a heat protection product also.

Oh this will work just fine, if you use it properly your hair will be dead straight. But at the end of the day this is a straightener so yes, if you over use it by time your hair will become dry and damaged. but if your buying it to use it every now and then, its perfect and gets the job done in no time because of it's wide plates.

Hi Amazon Customer, Yes, you can use a hair dryer. Infrared thermometer is actually not necessary. If you will use a hairdryer, the procedure may take up to an hour. So yeah, patience is needed. :) If you have further questions, feel free to contact me through the link below at any time as I am always here to help. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?ie=UTF8&asin;=&isAmazonFulfilled;=1&isCBA;=&marketplaceID;=ATVPDKIKX0DER&orderID;=&seller;=A3KD0OO9H1T8D3Scroll to the bottom right of the pageClick on 'contact seller' under 'Further Information'Kind Regards,Jocela / ECO-FUSED Hi Amazon Customer, Yes, you can use a hair dryer.

You possibly can, as long as you steam the section and immediately place it in the roller to dry.When I use this steamer my hair get very moist. I have natural kinky hair... Once my hair felt a bit dry and brittle, so I used the Q. Redew and steamed my hair in sections. After each section, I added a conditioner/ whipped Shea butter and 2 strand twist. Once the dried, my hair was soft, moisturized and defined.

I'm wondering the same thing. I don't want to straighten my hair, just defrizz and loosen curls a bit. Has anyone tried it and cut out some steps? e.g. keeping in hair for less than 48 hours or cutting the blow dry/flat iron?

PS. I have really thick hair..so I am not recommending that anyone else leaves cellophane on their hair as long as I do! That said, I figure you can probably experiment a bit with how long you leave it on, or whether or not you want to use a hair-dryer.

I don't really know but I wouldn't do it myself' It is an astringent and would probably dry your scalp out too much. I put it on my dry hair then step into the shower, but I have no idea about leaving it on. Sorry.

From my experience, as long as your hair is dry, no! It's never a good idea to have your hair wet/damp when using any heat appliance that is plugged in! So spray your hair with your protectant and finger dry it in, then curl it!
