Any heating device is harmful to the hair..dangerous?... NO..it cause's damage to a certain extent, but if you have a professional take care of your hair needs then the damage is minimal. The only danger I can think of is if you touch your skin with one. Buy a CHI iron they are less damaging than any other iron out there. They are pretty expensive but so worth it. They have ceramic plates and the wattage is not as high as a normal irons.They are designed using negative ions which help with less damage to the hair.

Well, actually "yes they are"
But I was using one for about a year. I was ironing my hair two times in a month and it was enough for me. When I came to the hair dresser she told me that my hair was absolutely all right... Perhaps it was a good iron... I think they are not dangerous if you use them not so often...

There aren't very bad effects, just semi-bad. It will just dry out your hair. Just condition it and when you have a chance, let it air dry and go without using a curling iron when you can (use curlers you set your hair in at night, like the soft spongy ones).

They will cause damage to your hair if you use them frequently.. once in a while shouldn't be too bad, though, as long as the heat isn't too high.
