Is it possible to constantly chemically straighten hair?

Question

I have chemically straightened my hair 3 times in the last 9 months. The first time it worked great, by the third time it hardly made an impact and left my hair as it was. How do I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

It doesn't seem as if you've overprocessed your hair due to the time frame and the frequency of using a chemical straightener. I'm wondering if you're retouching your new growth or reprocessing your entire head? Oftentimes chemical straighteners are ineffective due to overprocessing, previous damage or relaxer misuse. Do you fit in any of those categories? If so you need a protein treatment immediately so that you can repair the damage to hair and return to your normal tresses.

I suggest you consult a professional to rebuild your hair structure and invest in a nonchemical straightener such an maxi glide or ionic iron.

The answer to your primary question, yes you can constantly chemically straighten your hair but you have to understand you are using chemicals and you have to be extremely careful while performing the procedure and how you care for your hair between applications.

Answer 2

Inosha, hair is already dead--it's non-living matter because it cannot regenerate itself like, say, skin can. Other than the lack of nerves, hair and skin are very, very similar. See what I'm getting at here? Any sort of chemical process alters the structure of your hair; multiple procedures often end up ineffectual because of this. You're not doing your hair or yourself any favors by frying it--doing so just begets more irreversible problems, as evidenced by your situation.
