5 FOFs will get to test two fab new products from Paulmaier: 12 Benefits Rapid Blowout Argan Oil Blow Dry Spray and 12 Benefits Instant Healthy Hair Treatment. To enter, answer in the comments below: Do you blow dry your hair every day?
Thank you for entering. This contest is now closed.
What’s the formula for gorgeous, lustrous hair? 95% protein, 3% moisture and trace elements, and 2% natural lipids, according to researchers at Paulmaier, who have been studying hair for over sixty years. It doesn’t take much to throw off this delicate balance–chlorine, salt water, UV exposure, flat ironing, and blow-drying all strip hair of it’s natural lipids, leaving it brittle and unmanageable. But Paulmaier promises that its 12 Benefits duo restores natural lipids to FOF hair “dramatically reversing the “AGED & DAMAGED” look and feel.” You be the judge! 5 FOFs will win a set and put this product to the test.
Enter to test 12 Benefits Rapid Blowout Argan Oil Blow Dry Spray and Instant Healthy Hair Treatment. 5 FOFs will win. To enter, answer in the comments below: Do you blow dry your hair every day?
(See all our past winners. See official rules. One winner is chosen at random from all those commenters who answer the question. Contest closes September 8, 2011.)

Marlene says:
I recently went to a salon and the person said he would reverse and make my hair healthy and beautiful. Well needless to say, after 3 hours in the salon and overprocessing with dye, my hair has been breaking off and frizzy and also felt gummy. I was devastated. I now have to blow dry and use a hot iron to make my hair look half way decent!
trailblazer says:
I blow dry my hair every 3rd day to avoid damaging my hair. I had highlights put into my hair awhile back and they dried it out terribly so I’m trying to limit the blow drying until my hair get healthier again.
Susan S. says:
I have a medium-short, layered cut that looks best when I blow dry it, but my hair is pretty thick so sometimes I’m just too lazy and I let it air dry. The shape’s not as nice when I do this.
annebmclean says:
no, i let it airdry is not going anywhere.
ctgal says:
Every other day, religiously!! Followed by a flat iron.
Mary Lou says:
I blow dry every day. It’s still the best way to get a little volume.
pianolib says:
Yes, I blow dry my hair. Help is always welcome and appreciated!
adrienne z says:
I don’t wash my hair every day, but I DO blow dry my hair every time I wash it, which is once every other day. I use a medium heat so that I don’t damage my hair, but I love the look a blowdryer can give me as opposed to letting my hair dry naturally. I need the volume I get from a blowdry.
Mary W says:
I try to blow dry my hair when ever I wash it.
Briarrose says:
As a retiree, I don’t blow dry it every day. It is starting to thin and I need every hair I can save.
nascarblue3 says:
No I definatly do not blow dry my hair everyday, I am more apt to air dry when I have the time only because I have never found the product that does what it says when I apply it to my hair before blow drying. Your product sounds awesome, reversing the AGED & Damaged look and feel is what I have spent alot of money on over the years, only to achieve brittle and dry hair. I do know after researching Argan Oil that my hair will be restored to a soft beautiful feel and touch, what more could a woman ask for? I would LOVE to win this set, I will put it to the test and give you an honest answer, thank you for the chance.
Paulette says:
Yes I blowdry my hair. I am a retired hairdresser and I am always looking for a great product. I have baby fine hair and I always have it highlighted for lift and manageability. I’d love to try a free sample of 12Benifits. Hope I can try a free one. Thanks for having this opiturinity.
catherine lawton says:
I do not blow dry my hair everyday, I do blow dry it after two shampoo’s.
mothert says:
I shower and shampoo before bed and put my towel dried hair in a scrunchie for sleeping. I give it a quick blow dry in the morning. Conditioning mask twice a month. I find this works to keep my hair in great condition with a nice shine whether I wear it up in a bun or wear it down in a ponytail.
ktpotat says:
I don’t blow dry .
storyteacher1 says:
Yes, I blow dry my hair every day–especially in the winter when I’m working and heading out into the cold!
abbie says:
I blow dry my hair every 3 days.
Maciberkeley says:
No, but often enough to dry out my highlighted hair!
kathy fennessey says:
I am currently in a state of confusion as what to do with my thin, very straight hair. Should I stick with the same old off the neck menopause hairstyle, dye it, perm it, I cannot find anything new and different fro my age. A new product might help, I am game for almost anything at this point. I need something new.
Andy says:
I do blow-dry my hair every day. With gardening in the sun, playing with our Greyhound and living a very full life of meetings, traveling, shopping it’s important that my hair (the crowing glory, as they say) is always looking it’s best. My hair is also colored and highlighted changing with the seasons so excellent products are something that I’m always looking for.
atlellie says:
I blow dry my hair two times a week and have not tried Benefits and would love to try it. I have color treated hair so I am always looking for a product to protect my hair.
Linda says:
I blow dry my hair almost every day. I could really use these products.
sheilachaffins says:
I never blow dry my hair.
ChristyJan says:
No, I very seldom blow dry my hair – I prefer to let it air-dry naturally. (Then I damage it with the curling iron) 🙁
SUSAN LOCKWOOD says:
NOT EVERY DAY BUT SEVERAL TIMES PER WEEK!!
soap says:
I wash my hair every other day, and use a damage repair leave in conditioner. If I need to be somewhere right away, I’ll blow dry it using a protectant, otherwise I let it air dry. I have it highlighted 2x/year to save on my hair and the upkeep/cost of going to the salon. I live in a dry climate, have straight hair with no body. With age my hair has changed from fine to coarse
Rondah says:
No, I blow dry my hair every other day.
rjs682 at yahoo dot com
Lana Nochowitz says:
blow dry everyother day.
k_lemmel says:
I give my hair a professional style blowdry everyday. It’s the only way I can truely combat frizz and get a silky bounce to my hair.
marla_j98 says:
Thank you for the tip about this product. It has so much more protein than other hair products, of which our hair is most in need of. I definitely want to try this!
Joan says:
I blow dry my hair every day or every other day. Much more often than I used to. I would like to find a product to protect my hair.
Sheila says:
I am always looking for the “BEST” product out there.I currently use Wen and I am very impressed.I would love the challenge of trying your product.I do everything to my hair except perm it.I have to keep my hair just so because of my work.
Cynt1 says:
I’d love to try to blow dry my hair with a new product!
Annemarie623 says:
Sometimes I blow out my hair, but more often I use a straightening iron. Heard alot of great things about Argan Oil. Would love to try it : )
Tamilea says:
I rarely blow dry my hair due to the damage it causes but with this Benefits Blowout Spray and the Hair Treatment I could start again. Would love to try these products!!!!!
KAREN COGBURN says:
Because I blow dry my hair every day it is damaged. The color I use each month adds to the problem.
yaz says:
I never ever blow dry my wavy mane but some how after washing my hair it’s always dry and brittle like the back of a sheep’s behind would love something that would tame it and keep it wavy all the time
KAREN COGBURN says:
I blow dry my hair every day. It is color treated so I have major damage. Would love to win these!!
purpleone57 says:
I blow dry my hair 6 out of 7 days. But I had been coloring my hair some shade of blonde over 30 years….I would love some damage control!
plumleez says:
I do not blow dry everyday. I have changed my routine to air drying my hair, then using my straightener. I do use my straightener everyday though. There is no avoiding using heat on my hair daily. Due to age and abuse…my hair looks dull and the color fades quickly. I have not found that “miracle product” yet but I do intend to!!
Roberta says:
I do not blow dry my hair every day. The product I use works very well on my natural curls. It keeps my hair soft, healthy, and shiny with no frizz. I am pleased with it because it works whether I blow dry or not. The only thing negative about it is the price . I would love to find a product that works as well that costs less.
khughes09 says:
No, I don’t blow dry my hair everyday, usually 3 times a week. I do use a curling iron or flat iron every day and have color treated hair, so I believe my hair would benefit from these products.
Donna says:
I don’t blow dry my hair every day, only when I’m going somewhere and need it to dry fast, but my hair is sure showing it’s age…lol.
Christel Tirrell says:
yes. i HAVE to dry and flatiron every day. Do not forget the heated rollers that fills an important part of my regime. The Summer humidity is not good to my naturaly curly, thick hair…Then – I am in my 50’s.. and the grey is not staying away.
Finally, distressed hair makes for a stressed me…
Susan says:
I let my hair dry naturally for about 15 minutes before using the hair blower. Having had a full lovely head of hair when I was young I find myself dealing with thinning and dryness as I get older. I’ve tried every new product to combat the aging process with little success. Would love to try something new- again!
honeybeagle12 says:
Yes have to or it’s just limp
Mary says:
I blow dry my hair everyday but only the ends that get wet in the shower and not the whole head. I also use the dryer to fluff up my hair before I spray it with hair spray.
VJ says:
No! If I used a blow dryer every day I probably wouldn’t have any hair. My hair seems to get thinner and dryer daily. I have resorted to wearing a wig! It’s really nice to know how it feels to have hair.
Would be wonderful to win some products that could possibly get my hair back in shape.
carmenwood says:
No I don’t as I try not to damage my “older” hair any more than i have to. I wash at night and allow it to air dry overnight.
Trisha says:
Sorry, but I can’t use my blow dryer every day or I would be bald by now. I also stopped using my curling irons and electric rollers. As I have aged, my hair has thinned so I will let it dry naturally using a nice wide-tooth comb on it.
Wish I could lose weight as easily as I am losing hair!
Robin Steckhahn says:
I blow dry it every day and have it color treated once a month. I deal with having one product cause build up to keep my hair conditioned and then using another to eliminate the build up and having to deal with dry, lifeless, dull hair. I am always seeking a new product for my arsonal. Friends are alarmed at how much hair product I have in my cabinet. Sometimes purchased and tried once, and then retired.
bison61 says:
yes, I do blow dry my hair every day
tiramisu392 (at) yahoo.com
Tannersmom says:
I let my hair air dry, but it is still too dry and frizzy.
every day says:
It is now highlighted and color treated. It is starting to feel dry.
LisaLisa says:
I blow every day. I also have my hair heavily highlighted to help blend in that awful gray. My hair is thin and fine and very damaged. I’m contantly trying new conditioners in the hopes that one will leave my hair soft and silky. No such luck.
Rosa says:
I know blow drying everyday is not good for your hair so I only blow dry once a week and use conditioner everyday to maintain it.
Corinne says:
I blow dry my curly-frizzy hair 5 days a week. As I can’t afford the salon Brazilian/keratin treatments, I try conditioners and leave-in treatments. I’m still looking for something that works. I’d love the opportunity to try these products!
Cheryl says:
I really could use these products.
My bleached blonde hair is beginning to look like hay.
Lynne Tilleman says:
I blow dry my hair 3 to 4 times a week and color it about once a month. My hair is extremely dry and as I can not afford keratin treatments I’m pretty much at the mercy of conditioners—none of which I have found that really moisturize the way I would like. I would love to try a new product to see if it would work.
maxie522 says:
I blow dry my hair approximately 3 days per week after washing it. I have a Brazillian Treatment in my hair since May of this year. It took away the frizz that I contend with. I would love to try these products. I have course hair and this sounds like it will be beneficial.
babydarling says:
I blow my hair dry usually every other day. My hair is lightened and highlighted.
Soledad says:
I do not blow dry my hair. It is curly and dry so I don’t want to make it any more brittle. If this can make my hair look better, I would sure like to try it.
nancdep5 says:
I blow dry every day and color at the salon every 7-8 weeks. In between salon colors, I color my roots with Clairol Root Repair. I would like to try this product to re-energize my hair.
Elizabeth Towns says:
No, I do not blow dry my hair unless it is absolutely necessary. In the summertime, it is almost never required.
Barbara Wicklund says:
I blow dry me hair about 3 times a week. Don’t want to damage it too much!
janis says:
I try to wash my hair only every other day. I have hard water and will get an orange tint. I blow dry almost every time
Denise says:
I have coarse, dry, wavy hair – I try NOT to blow-dry my hair if I don’t have to, but sometimes its neccesary. I am ALWAYS on the look out for a product that will help with this mop head of mine!
AveryK says:
I don’t everyday, but once a week and just that has hurt my hair.
AMOGINESQ says:
I have color treated hair every 6 weeks and blow dry and flat iron my hair every other day. I use a different shampoo and conditioner each time I was my hair to prevent build up. I have very fine hair and it tends to look fly away after a few hours.
Ann Rock says:
I used to but my hair texture changed dramatically when I turned 50 last year and now I can “wash and go” with a tousled look ( although it looks wayyyy better when I do blow dry!).
rawraimey says:
I tend to dry my hair every other day using a blow dryer.
Marcelle Cole says:
No way, snap crackle pop would describe my hair in no time at all!
Jeanne Bernstein says:
I color my hair and blow dry my hair daily.
KathyB says:
I sure try not to – dries out my hair and makes my split ends worse. This product line sounds great – had not heard of it before!
fzoltanetz says:
No, I generally blow dry my hair once a week. I still haven’t found the product that will not dry my hair after I blow it out.
Olga Nohra says:
Not every day. I’m one of the lucky few who’s hair gets better 2-3 days after washing.
Christine Remo says:
I have a lot of hair but it is fine and very straight. As a result, I need to blow dry my hair with my head upside down every morning to get some lift so it doesn’t just lay flat on my head. My hair is color treated – to cover that pesky gray – so I worry the heat is damaging my hair.
Judi says:
Every other day is bad enough. No matter what I try it is still dry. Getting worse as I get older too.
Judy says:
No, just each time I wash my hair. I wash my hair on average every third day. And I try to use a medium setting, and only dry the top and sides towards the face, leaving the back to dry naturally. But latley I’ve been getting the dull look. I would love to see if these products bring my hair back to life!
Barbara Blackmar says:
Resist shampooing blowing out every day – too hard on my color treated hair, but in summer heat and humidity just have to sometimes.
Lauren says:
My hair texture is very fine and has natural curl that makes it frizzy. When I blow dry, etc. it looks “fried.” Other products have left my hair limp without body.
I would love a product that gives my hair that youthful healthy looks with lots of body.
Cynthia says:
I have curly hair, which means it starts out drier than straight hair. If I blow dry my hair, without a TON of product, I look like a puffball! Ergo, I only use a blow dryer on special-dress-my-hair-pretty occassons, only halfway dry my hair, and never the ends. Phew!
Miriam Pinheiro says:
No. I only blow dry it in the winter if it’s really cold and my hair is wet in the morning. Otherwise, I let it dry naturally. It is curly. I would love to try the products!
Ruth Roscoe says:
I seldom use a blow dryer. I have very very thick hair; but it is color treated and very very dry so I try to stay away from drying procedures as much as possible.
joyzkim says:
I don’t blow dry my hair everyday. i try to skip a day in-between and if my hair looks really oily, I try the dry shampoo to make it look half decent.
suzanne says:
My hair looks like I blow dry it TWICE a day!! Years of coloring, sunshine & quick-fixes have done its course – my hair is damaged & in need of HELP!! Will look for this product…and check it out!!!
gwtw19361939 says:
DAily blowdry- NO way. Only blow dry in the winter and then it i not EVERY day.
KAREN COGBURN says:
I blow dry every day. I live in Texas so my hair is damaged by the blow dry & weather.
yyoerger says:
I have fine, straight hair that produces MAJOR bed head so yes, I wash or just rinse and blow dry every day. I’ve had good luck with different products, but due to buildup or my hair “getting used to” a certain shampoo, conditioner, or styling aid, I’m often trying new ones and rotating every couple of weeks. I have highlights but overall dryness isn’t a problem. Flyaway static and a bit of dry ends are the biggest issues.
opinionated1 says:
I could definitely put 12 Benefits to good use, I do everything to my hair…blow dry, flat iron, change its color, etc. 12 Benefits would make my hair great again!

mswelburn says:
Every second day I blow dry and use a hot air styling brush. by doing this and color treating my hair, my hair is becoming dry and brittle.
Dolores Petersen says:
I am 63 and need help with my hair that is getting thinner and thinner, harder to keep in in style and so concerned about it.

I’d like to try a product that will make my hair manageable 🙂 specially my hair will love it 🙂
lisa comer says:
Because I have to color my hair once a month, i try to avoid blow-drying my hair, and limit it and other heat styling methods to about twice a week.
Rockyred says:
Yes I do. And after a lifetime of it, throw in the hypothryoid, hormonal, color/highlight cocktail and I look like Phyllis Diller!!!!!! I needs me some 12 Benefits!
Thanks 🙂
1955nurse says:
Not EVERYday, sometimes (especially in the summertime!) I give it a rest…. but I have to when I’m getting ready to go somewhere or I’d NEVER get out of the house!!! I just hate how it drys out my hair….
gramhebert says:
No I have fine thin hair and I would be afraid of the damage heat would do

I blow my hair dry everyday and it really drys my hair out. I would love a product to add hydration back to my hair.
hittledeb says:
I blow dry my hair every two to three days. I try not to wash and blow dry everyday because I know it is not good for my hair or scalp. I color my hair about once a month, use conditioner when I wash it and then use leave in conditioner on it. When my hair is in shape, it has always been very shiny.
KAREN COGBURN says:
I blow dry my hair everyday
ponkle says:
Isn’t it wrong that not only do our bodies age but so does our hair.
I blow dry every day unless it’s a lazy day when I just flat iron it. Hard to know what to do for fine thinning hair that needs some cheering up
Arleen says:
I don’t BD my hair because color treating has made it too dry already. I’ve tried deep and instant conditioners, but they don’t last. I’m lookinig for the next best product on the market so I can properly dry and style my hair.
lorraine says:
I’ll blow dry it unless I’m late for work or spending the weekend at home doing yardwork

I blow dry every other day and flat iron in between the days I don’t blow dry. I color treat my hair every three weeks. My hair is thick but I would like it to look healthier.

Polly says:

What has happened to my once upon a time great locks? Fine (always), thinning and dry (a 50’s phenomena that’s not relenting) and limp…a disastrous combination! I look perpetually for something to help. Might this be it? Thanks for the offer of an opportunity to try these products!
Monica G says:
I wash and blow dry my hair daily, and if not straightening it I am curling it using tons of product, Scrunching, pulling, brushing this way and that. It is a wonder I have any hair left. What I would give to have the manageability of the hair I had 20 years ago.

slbennetti says:
I blow dry my hair usually every day. Unfortunately, I must get ready for work five days a week, Church on Sundays, so once in a while, Saturday is my hairs saving grace from the blow dryer, unless I need to run errands or go out. I definately would love to educate myself on how to treat my hair with today’s marvelous products.
Mary says:
I do blow dry my hair everyday. Way to much texture and frizz if I don’t. I do use a heat protector in my hair before blow drying but admittedly still experience dry ends.
Kim Sargent says:
I blowdry and flat iron every day and after coloring I loose my shine in about a week’s time. I need the set BADLY!!!

tcoyne says:
