I'm 17.For about 2 weeks I was using a flat iron to make my hair straight because I wanted to wear my hair loose. Well now my hair is breaking off and geting thin. Why is this happening?

Stop using the flat iron and start using a deep conditioner every week. You fried your hair. It won't mend quickly, but it will mend with patience. If you have African-American hair, then you need to see your hair dresser to find the product that's right for your texture.

Because the flat iron is drying out all the natural nutrients and oil. I suggest that you stay away from the flat iron for a while. If you really feel that you "need" to leave your hair down and you want it striaght then I sugguest that you condition your hair a bit more than you already do. Try a hot oil treatment or two ( they can be purchased at any drug store) they are very easy to do at home. Consult a hair salon and try to buy one of their conditioning products- I know it may be a bit costly but it is well worth the price. Before straightening, try applying some serum to your hair ( to soften your hair a bit) some serums also condition your hair.
Hope that helps:)

becuz a flat iron is burning your hair and damaging it. this happened to me and i learned to not use a straightener everyday becuz it practically destroys your hair. but if you still want to use a flat iron, then i suggest using Tresseme' Shampoo and Conditioner for damaged hair. or here is another option. i found out that using a clothing iron can straighten hair too, but not burn it. instead of a flat iron which has an iron on both side, a regular clothing iron only has one side which doesnt damage your hair as much as a regular flat iron would. so i hope this helps you out!

Flat irons are very damaging to your hair. The best thing to do would be to either stop using it or use styling products that are formulated to protect your hair against thermal (heat) damage before using the flattening iron. Your hair will grow back so don't panic.

sorry to hear about that, well it might be because it s damaged, that's why you have breakage. Try a leave in conditioner, or a shampoo and conditioner for dry and damaged hair. if you use heat styling tools you might want to stay away from those for a while. Also if you just colored your hair that could also be the reason. If it does not improve go see a doctor, if could also have to do with nutrition. good luck!

Your probly using to high of heat. Is your hair permed or processed? Over processed hair will break off very easily. Try using a heat protectant spray and then Paul Mitchell's Gloss Drops to finish it off; it restores moisture.

You're basically killing your hair. You can damage hair with heat and some hair is more easily damaged than others. I suggest you lay off the heat for a while and make sure you use moisturizing conditioners and shampoo for damaged hair.

She shouldn't dye it herself, she ought to bypass to a hairstylist. Bleaching hair does damage it quite badly, yet now no longer in case you in person-pleasant words do it as immediately as. She also needs to understand the aftermath of bleaching. If she dyes it, even as her organic and organic hair starts off to toughen again in, it does't seem very sturdy. So if she needs to administration her hair falling out and breaking off (actual, now no longer a delusion) then she will be able to ascertain for it.
