Preventing heat damage on black hair.

Read the following article and got slightly confused:

I've heard in other cases, it's best to leave ones hair dry somewhat before blow drying. Here, the writer refers to blow drying at its wettest.

What have you found works best to avoid breakage and good smooth results?
Are rollers more preferable? What, in your experience has the best straightening effect?

Rollersetting gets my hair the smoothest and straightest. I also get my roots blown out abd they (dominicans) use the flat iron for an extra smooth finish.
