drying hair with fan vs dryer

[sora]

Hi,

What do you guys use to dry your hair. I have thick hair so I need either a fan or dryer to dry my hair. I have heard conflicting views about using a fan or dryer to dry hair. Can anyone share with me what you know? FIY, I got my hair straightened permanently. I used to have curly hair and both dryer and fan made my hair so frizzy.
Thanks.

I usually try to wash my hair a couple hours before bed and let it air dry. I find that if I start by clipping most of it back and then let down a layer periodically that it seems to air dry faster. If it's not dry by bedtime, I either sleep on it wet and wear it up the next day or french braid it so it doesn't get frizzy overnight.

When I do dry it (which is rare b/c all that heat damages my hair) I use an ion hair dryer.
