How bad are straightning irons for your hair?

Question

Are you supposed to see steam coming from it when you use one?

Answer 1

Its not bad if you use heat protectant spray

Answer 2

I've been using one for several months and it hasn't hurt my hair so far. I also use horse shampoo and creme rinse and it has made a world of difference with my hair as well.  I would recommend it to anyone. And yes, steam does come from it.

Answer 3

if it's meant to straighten wet hair and you are using it on wet hair, it should have some steam. but if your hair is dry / it wasnt meant for wet hair, then you are burning your hair. lol :]

just be careful, its not great for you hair but it looks good ;D

Answer 4

Straighteners are actually not that bad.  Well it really depends on what kind of straightener you have. If you have a metal straightener that's not good.  The best kind of straighteners are Con-air ceramic straighteners.  If you planning on buying one make sure its ceramic.  It does not matter if you see steam as long as its not a lot.  I use a Con-air ceramic straightener almost every other day or every day and my hair is still fine.

Answer 5

It burns the hair if you use it too much. i use it every week and I really advise you to use a stong cream if you use it. Steam does come of yes :)

Totally worth it cause the hair looks amazing after :)
