Does anyone else here blow-dry and straighten their hair everyday?!?!?!?!?????????????????????????????????????

Question

i do EVERYday. do you?? how does your hair look?? i wish i had naturally nice hair, but it is so horrible and using a flat iron makes a HUGE difference. its like going from hobo to supermodel. i take a shower in the morning before school, then blow dry and then straighten. i dont get to straighten the back all the time because my mom is always yelling at me!! i really hate this because i dont have time to let it dry naturally. and if i wash the night before my hair gets really poofy and messy and curly and it takes too long to straighten and i just cant do that because i feel dirty the next day. now my hair just keeps gettin worse...do u straighten erryday? wut duz ur hair look lyke?

Answer 1

I solved the problem by getting a cute, very short haircut. I still blow-dry every day after my shower and shampoo but with short hair, the blow-drying takes no time at all.

Go for it - don't be a slave to your hair!

Answer 2

I blow dry my hair every day unless I wake up too late and have to start working ;oP Then I just put some goop in my hair and let it dry naturally but then I have to pull it back in a pony tail or it will be everywhere ;o(
I also have to use a flat iron even though my hair is mostly straight - if I don't use a flat iron, the one side of my hair flips out and the other side flips in.... not cool at all!!
I agree - a flat iron is a huge difference.
I agree about the shower too - I always feel so yucky and dirty when I wake up even if i get a shower right before I go to bed - i am a shower in the morning kind of girl!!

When I do have to get a shower at night, the best thing I've noticed to get my hair even somewhat okay is to go to bed with it wet and put it in a light pony tail or just make sure it is all down your back - it will look okay in the morning, then just use a light spray of some type of hair product and then the flat iron should do the rest.

Well, right now my hair is up in a pony tail cuz it's late and my boyfriend isn't going to see me today so I don't care how awful it looks. hehe. Well I do care what it looks like, but my hair is almost impossible. I wish I could just go to the store and buy new hair.... gosh, if it were only that easy!! ;0)

Answer 3

Heck no, I don't even wash everyday unless I've been outside all day or around cigarette smoke. I let it dry on it's own at least 3 times a week and only use the blow dryer 3-4 times a week, and the hot iron only once or so a week when I go out. All that heat is hard on your hair.

Answer 4

I do it every other day. On the day when you don't straighten your hair, wrap your head up in a towel while you shower. Washing your hair every day will dry out your hair. On the weekends, if you're not doing anything, use those VO5 hot oil things. Or do what I do. Take a mixture of half olive oil and half honey. Warm it up in the microwave and massage it all into your hair. Wrap your head in a towel and wash your hair really good after about an hour or so.

Answer 5

well i used too. but i stopped because i could keep waking up early. My hair is different, the day before I straighten my hair, then put it in a loose bun, I go to bed wake up and put it down, i put some hair product to smooth it out, than I straighten some wavy parts. and than presto!
HERE IS SOME GOOD ADVICE!:
Try what I did, wash your hair, blow dry with a straightening balm, then straighten and than put into a loose bun than just sleep next day just wake up and straight some parts that are not straight enough. than next day wash your hair again and etc.. Don't over wash your hair though, because it will get dry.! hope i helped

Answer 6

I blow-dry and straighten my hair everyday. I have naturally straight hair to begin with, but when it dries naturally it can be quite scary. . .LOL. So I blow-dry and then use a straightener. . .I just makes it look better and sleeker :) They have this balm/gel you can put on your hair when you use straighteners it helps protect your hair from damage. Ask your hairdresser next time you go :)
I sometimes straighten my hair before I go to bed, especially if I know I will be in a rush in the morning. . .which I usually am.
If you are worried about damage get the balm/gel. It does work :)
Don't worry :)

Answer 7

I have been straightening my super curly hair every day for 5 years. My hair looks great but that's thanks to the products I use:
Shampoo - Pureology Super Straight (blue bottle)
Conditioner - Pureology Super Straight
Towel dry
Lanza Trauma Treatment (leave in)
After it's blown dry I work about a dime's worth of Chi Silk Infusion through my hair the flat iron with a Chi.

I also have my hair professionally colored every 5 weeks so it goes through a lot of abuse. If it weren't for these products I'd probably be bald by now.

Answer 8

yes, especially straightening it D:
i haven't got my ends cut in months and i think i will next week..
i have soo many split ends and not just at the end of my hair..
but i'm only comfortable with it straight ]:
it's so damaged even though i want to grow it out long..but straight
and my mom dosen't want me to get it straight permed..
it's naturally wavy-ish but not perfect good waves
i usually shower at night though and use the volumey stuff then blow dry and if i don't, right when i was up my hair is like everywhere and kinked and curly

Answer 9

Hmm. I straighten my hair every other day.

I heard straightening it too much is bad, and taking showers alot may remove oils from your hair.

I don't know if its true.

But I take a shower at night, than STRAIGHTEN it in the morning.

People use all that gel and stuff, but it just frys my hair.
And its pretty straight, for someone with CURLY, FRIZZY, WAVY hair.

Yep. Yep.

Answer 10

well i dunno about blow dry but a few of my classmates flat iron their hair everyday, their hair looks fine, it's not the shiniest but even if they dont flat iron it looks ok. i recommend just getting a straight perm or getting japanese hair straightening, either way it's probably going to be less damage in the long term than all that heat everyday! hope this helps good luck! =]
