Is your hair going to have major damge if you straighten/curl it twice a week?

Question

Because my mom thinks I'm going to lose all my hair if I do that. Or burn it out or something.
You see, my friend straightens her hair every day. And her hair doesn't look damaged to me.
Please anwser. :)

Answer 1

Usually it depends on the type of hair you have. For example, if you have thin hair, most likely your hair is more easily damaged. Thicker hair tends to be less damaged by products; however, either way, it is going to get damaged if you expose a high amount of heat to it.

HOWEVER, now companies have made products such as the V05 Hair Protection line (approximately 5 dollars per product). This will temporarily protect your hair from damage.

Just as a clarification, usually if you do expose your hair to a high amount of heat it will be damaged; but not necessarily lossing hair. Basically, the main consequences are: breakage, split ends, and etc. So remember to keep your hair healthy if you are going to straighten/curl your hair!

Good luck! =]

Answer 2

I think a couple times a week will be okay. My friend also used to straighten her hair EVERYDAY. It is really not healthy for your hair. Though it's better if you have some shampoo that helps or something. You can look...it's one that you use if you straighten your hair im not sure what it's called. But a few times a week's okay.

Answer 3

first of all your friend should not be straightening her hair every day because it will eventually damage it. To answer your question yes you can definitely straighten and curl your hair twice a week as long as you use a good shampoo and conditioner.Suggestions for shampoo/conditioner are John Freida "Straight Ahead shampoo" and for conditioner Matrix "Sleek Look".Good luck!

Answer 4

You need to use a heat protecting spray. Since you either want to straighten or curl it, get Sunsilk ThermaShine spray. What you do is spray it into your damp hair and it protects from the heat of a blowdryer, straightener and curling iron, all while making your hair shiny :)

Answer 5

Twice a week shouldn't be that hard on your hair...

It does depend how hot you set you straightener/curler and your hair type, I suppose.

Also it is easier on your hair if you apply some sort of product beforehand...It should help protect your hair from the heat.

Answer 6

It can damage your hair and cause dead/spilt ends , more if you do it every day. I still straighten or curl mine everyday thoguh. Just get your hair trimed every month and you will be fine.

Answer 7

If you are going to do that I recommend taking hair stimulator viatmins, not only do they make your hair grow they make your hair very strong and healthy, they are all natural and full of amino acids, this will help a lot if you are going to do that often

Answer 8

I dont do either one, but my best friend has curly hair and she starightens it every other day and her hair looks really bad and broken. low heat might help, i know some hair driers have a 'cool' button. When i do have to dry my hair i use that.

Answer 9

i straighten my hair almost every day and my hair is healthy bc i use sunsilk


DONT DO IT WHEN UR HAIRS WET


and dont hold the straightener in one place for like a minute do it for like 10seconds per strand....


good luck
