Yes. And given the damage my hair took when I was about 7-10 years old from using one on a regular basis, I wasn't interested in using one.
When you did use one, did you turn the stereo up loud enough to listen to it while you dried your hair . . . and incidentally allow everyone within several hundred feet to also listen to it? (I would be visiting a girl's apartment in college and one of her roommates would be drying her hair while listening to the stereo, making conversation difficult in the living room . . . )
Plus which, I didn't have one, and at 2AM I didn't feel like going to someone else's room to wake them up and ask if they'd brought one. :)
I finally found a hairstyle that will dry naturally rather than having to be blow-dried very carefully to keep the wave at least somewhat under control. Of course, it does not meet Air Force or BYU standards . . .
