The effects of using a flat iron (hair straightener) everyday..?

I started straightening my hair a while ago, and i found after about 2 weeks of continuous straightening I started to get burnt split ends, so I stopped. But now Im thinking of getting my hair styled so I would have to straighten it EVERYDAY.. what would be the effects on my hair because of this? btw, I have curly hair.The effects of using a flat iron (hair straightener) everyday..?
i straighten my hair everyday too. i got lots of split ends too but just when i didnt take good care of my hair


u have to buy salon products in order to keep your hair healthy if you straighten ur hair everyday


and then u need a deep conditioning per weel


then, it would not make any damage to your hair.








i reccomend redken deep fuel for deep conditioning.It works wonders.


Just make sure you condition your hair after using it as this is a more potent protein products. It makes your hair dry after using it but it really strenghten your, so make sure u conditon ur hair afterwards and it works wonders.














and yeh


use a heat protector before straightening.


it can decrease the damagesThe effects of using a flat iron (hair straightener) everyday..?
with a strightner you would burn you hair and make it damaged, but if you get a more expensive ceramic straightner you will never burn your hair (because of the ceramic).
It is safe to straighten your hair every day, however it must be done correctly. First off your straightener itself has to be good quality. I would never put metal on my hair, make sure your iron has ';ceramic'; plates. Also, it must have a temperature guage. I know that it may feel like it works faster when its up at the highest temperature, however its more damaging than anything.


Also, your hair should be completly dry before ironing and sprayed with some kind of heat protecter. I use Matrix ';Sleek looks iron spray';.


The best thing to do is to set up an appointment at your local salon to get a trim and have her get rid of your burnt ends. Then ask her to flat iron your hair and ask her lots of questions how to do it correctly and what she reccomends!
there are product out there


you can find them at drug stores wherever it is you go to


and they have products that you use while straightning your hair to decrease the damage to it
your hair would fry(it would get really dry and you would get burnt split ends) so you should consider getting a japanese straitening. or dont get your hair styled so you would have to straiten your hair every day.
More fried hair and breakage.
I'm a qualified hairdresser and i don't think you should use your flat iron. it is really bad for your hair. it makes it dryer and causes loads of frazzled end! I suggest you buy some intensive conditioner and leave it on your hair for half hour and keep doing it once every 2 weeks buy heat protection spray from the supermarket and use ceramic straighteners. your hair will have much less damage and should eventually become back to normal. if your burnt ends are really bad i suggest a nice hair cut to get rid of damaged hair. :^)
your hair will continue getting mroe split ends and it will we very fragile. you should probably invest in a ceramic straightener becasue it does a lot less damage. i suggest the chi. also before you straighten your hair put on a protective spray.......i use one from avon called salon straight and it really helpss!! =]
