They are both damaging, but a blow dryer may be slightly better for your hair since you keep the dryer moving and the heat is not in direct contact with your hair as with a flat iron. Your flat iron also likely gets hotter than the blow dryer, around 400 degrees.

To protect your hair use a cream moisturizer before any type of heat styling. And try not to apply heat to your hair everyday.

Drying with a hair dryer is probably not as damaging, but a flat iron is so much easier and faster! Try a protectant spray like Iron Oil to protect your hair from the heat when you straighten it, but when you use that stuff, you have to be sure to wash your hair every day because the product makes your hair oily faster.

You should use a heat protector before blow drying or straightening with an iron. You're using a ceramic iron, which is best for styling, but should only be used by professionals. Professionals know how to handle the heat for different hair types. STOP using the iron on yourself. It smells burned because you are burning it. The blow dryer IS safer. It's like "air drying" at a faster pace. But, because it is a type of heat, you still should use a heat protector. Remember this, almost everything we do to our hair is damaging. Always choose the "lesser of the most evils" (smile).
