I have highlighted hair and I'm sick of straightening it every day. I really fancy trying one of the Boots home hair straightening kits but noticed that it is not recommended for use on highlighted hair. I just wondered why this is? Does it just mean it could make the hair dry and unhealthy or will it react and turn my hair green or something?!

Because the highlighter will have already stripped so much of your hairs health, if you add more chemicals it could really suffer.
Go to a hairdressers for advice, and if you are using irons everyday, make sure you use a good heat protcter first!

The chemicals you use in highlighting kits react with the chemicals in straightening kits and could not only cause your hair to break but could in extreme cases cause it to fall out.
Grow out your highlights then straighten. Good luck

i might additionally look on you tube, yet an extremely good way (I certainly have loopy curly hair and it takes me 20-30 min with this way) so use your warmth preserve ant and get a huge teethed clip to pin up your hair. Straighten it it approximately 5 or 4 layers reckoning on how curly your hair is. commence with the 1st backside layer and pin something up on your head. save including in sections of hair and do small ones some million-2 inches at maximum. after going over a factor (its nevertheless warm) pass over the hair with a flat brush (any brush will artwork tho) and which will help it a sprint! was hoping i became useful!!!

You've already answered your own question..you dont know the effects of doing it at home . Your hair may have a chemical reaction and turn green or you could over process it meaning you could get some of the straightening creme on the highlighted hair causing BREAKAGE,BREAKAGE AND MORE BREAKAGE..if you want to keep your hair on your head and healthy...
PLEASE GO SEE A PROFESSIONAL!

probably because it would be bad for your hair.
I used to peroxide my hair and it strips it of the nutrients..and if you use the home straightening kits i'd imagine they would strip it even more..leaving you with dry..damaged and unhealthy hair..mind you straightening it everyday is just as bad as the heat can damage the hair shaft....i stopped dying and straightening my hair as it started falling out!!! Now i take real care of it!

I used this recently, and it did seem to work quite good, although it did dry my hair out quite a bit.
My hair is dark brown (dyed) and it stripped some of the colour from my hair.
I think it's probably due to the extent to which it dries your hair out.

Will make your hair dry and brittle, but if you use the right products shouldn't be too bad.
