Once a week is fine! 2 or 3 times a DAY is waaay to much.

Answer 6

I flat iron my hair everyday and my hairdresser says my hair is very healthy! So I guess it depends on your hair type...

Answer 7

I would say three times a month because if you straighten it to much your hair breaks off and becomes brittle so i would only straighten it when necessary. Like if your going to an important event but straightening just to go to the store is unnecessary.

Answer 8

I straighten mine everyday...you can get products to stop damage on your hari...you spray it in your hair right before you straighten it...redken has some.

Answer 9

yes because you are hurting your hair badly and it can show after an amount of time.

Answer 10

once a day at most...your once a week is fine
