Okay so back in the beggining of February to like early June my hair was really really short. I've been growing it out over the summer, so I've recovered about 4 and a half inches in 3 months (it's a little over shoulder length now). And I was wondering if I flat iron, on top of dying my hair, will it get damaged? And if so, is there a safer less damaging way to do it? {I do NOT want to use chemical relaxers just so you know. I hate the stuff and my hair doesn't really need it.} Please and thank you!

USE A HOT OIL TREATMENT REGULARLY AND KEEP CONDITIONER ON YOUR HAIR LONGER THAN SHAMPOO AND RINSE THE CONDITIONER OUT OF YOUR HAIR WITH COOLER WATER SO THAT IT STAYS IN YOUR HAIR AND PROTECTS IT DURING THE DAY AND THE DAILY DAMAGE OF STRAIGHTENING AND DYING IT.

It depends on how often you do it. I heard that there should be at least 6-8 weeks between highlighting sessions, depending on your hair type, and the intensity of it. And you should invest in a quality straightener, cheapo ones can really damage your hair. I highlight and straighten my hair every day almost, and at first my hair got really dry. But i have a revlon straightener that i LOVE and i always use conditioner from pantene pro-v that repairs damaged hair. If ou do that, i think you'll be fine!

It needs to be properly moisturized. You can do what you want to your hair to get it to look the way you want. You just need to make sure you take care of it before and after. Get your hair as healthy as possible before dying it by moisturizing it, and taking something like prenatal vitamins. The prenatal vitamins are healthy for hair & hair growth, and won't hurt you at all taking them.
Get some heavy conditioning packs at a salon or salon shop to use once or twice a week after you dye your hair.

No, it'll be fine. Just put some cooking oil on it before you flat iron it.
