I Actually Have 2 Questions: 1. I've Been Told Not To Use A Hair Dryer When On Oxygen. Is This True? How Does One Do Their Hair?

You can use a hairdryer. Just don't set it down on the hose.

No reason not to use a hair dryer. Have you ever see a hair dryer throw a spark or cause a fire? I haven't, and I see no reason to think it'll start one now just because I'm using 02. Again, remember that the 02 doesn't burn, but it will feed a fire.
