Living in the tropics meant that a hair-dryer is quite unneccesary. I can't be bothered to use one. When I wore my hair long and want it blown dry nicely, the hair salon will do the job. While there's a hair-dryer lying around the room, the girlfriends definitely put it to better use.
Now that the hair's a bob, the hair-dryer at home is turned on daily. I can't have it sticking out and looking limp! The hair-dryer curls it in properly. Nights don't matter. A bob dries really fast in the heat. I view the hair-dryer as a troublesome appliance.
It's been a long time since I've gone to anywhere cold. This year, I've hit quite a number of major cities in all stages of winter. By now, in wintry London, my perception of the hair-dryer has been completely altered. The habit of showering in the morning and at night meant that if I don't dry the hair, I'll have to go out with wet hair or sleep with wet hair. In this frosty weather, I'd get a head cold and migraine! So now, I view the hair-dryer as an absolutely essential tool to aid my feeling of well-being, and, heh, warmth.
I proclaim the humble hair-dryer my best friend.
(Oh, and the heated towel rails, massage/facial bed, footpads and sleeping socks too.)

let me tell you that if you walk out with damp hair in sub zero weather, the hair will freeze and when you try to knock off the icicles, your hair breaks. use the hair dryer!
I'm pretty sure I've gone out in sub zero temperatures with damp hair and haven't gotten a headache or anything else. Most of the time if it's that cold, I have a hat on :)
sinlady: NO! it can't be! i did that in -17 in Mongolia with a hat on. but didn't freeze too badly. Heee. Too cold to realize that the hair's wet!
dawn: I ALWAYS wear a hat. it warms my ears and head.
