Will it damage my hair if I straighten my hair with a flat iron daily?

Question

Or what if I do it every other day?

I have curly/wavy hair and I have been eyeing this certain hairstyle, but it requires straight hair. So I was just wondering.

Answer 1

Try herbal essencess pin straight.Just don't do the flat iron every day about once every 2 weeks.

Answer 2

Are you using a heat protectant?

I have a chronic fear of damaged hair. I have wavy hair and heres what I do.

I straighten my hair 2 times a week. I always straighten my bangs (with a heat protectant). When I do straighten my whole head of hair I DONT wash it so the next day it is still straight. Yes it sounds gross to you (I just take a shower with a shower cap on) but the natural oils are actually good for your hair. If you dont want to do this then forget it because straightening it everyday will damage your hair.  

Answer 3

it wood damage it but if u use some kind of hair product tht keeps it healthy that mite help n evry otha day helps 2!

Answer 4

Yes you will need to use heat protection spray

or put your hair into large /jumbo rollers when damp this will also straigthen it  

Answer 5

if you want it to be always straight then i would think about chemicaly straigtening it because it will do less damage. if you straighten it everyday at first it wont be that bad but as time goes on your get really frizzy hair and dead ends and then soon enough it will break off at the ends and get shorter because ur straigtenting it so much.

Answer 6

well if you do it every single day yeah itll start damaging it but if you mix up the style and do some days wavy and other days straight im sure itll be fine

Answer 7

nope u should be fine just dont make it too hot, i like it when guys straighten their hair :) lol

Answer 8

Yes. Flat irons damage your hair. For straight hair there are a few other methods you could go for, that are generally less harmful (flat irons are notorious for being very bad for hair):

1. Reverse home perms. Use a regular home perm package as stated, but instead of curling your hair simply comb your hair straight constantly (every few min) for awhile. Wash/dry/etc as written on the package.

2. Blow drying! Although this doesn't get my hair super straight, it does help a little.

3. You COULD go to a salon for chemical treatments, etc.

4. (3 cont.) The japanese hair treatment style, specifically, looks very gorgeous, healthy, silky and smooth- but some salons don't offer this and it is usually upwards of $100.

Good luck, and hope I helped! :)  

Answer 9

I wouldnt do it VEERY SINGLE say. Skip a day in between. Thats what I do. =]

Answer 10

Yes over time it will damage your hair.

I suggest heat protection sprays.

You can get them at places like sally beauty, probally alot of stores have them

If you dont get that, just make sure you take really good care of your hair and condition it.

:D

Answer 11

Yes, but any heat applied daily will damage your hair.

You are also at great risk of burning yourself in an attempt to get close to your roots.

Buy straighteners; arguably GHDs are the best, but cheap ones also do the trick.

Answer 12

I am in a similar situation as you and I do straighten my hair every day. It does eventually damage your hair, but there are some things you can do to help.

1) Deep condition your hair at least once a week

2) Apply a heat protecting serum before straightening

3)Use a quality flat iron that does the least damage ( Chi's are the best!)

Answer 13

YESS IT WILL. when you straighten it use a heat protectent and and put it all throughout your hair and you hair will  have less heat damage. a good one is heat tamer spray by TRESemme

Answer 14

do it everyday if you want. (i straighten my hair everyday) just make sure you use any heat taming spray for your hair so you dont mess it up. I recommend Tresemme but its your choice.

Answer 15

it shouldnt !! i straiten my hair everydayy to !! (: but just in case by some of that straitening hair product you spray in your hair before you straiten so it wont burn your hair !! (: well good luckk !! and hoped i helped !! ((:  

Answer 16

yes it will, what you need is a good heat protector product, something with silicone/some kind of oil in it so it protects and will help smooth it out. and don't wash your hair everyday when you straighten it, just touch it up the next day

Answer 17

yes i used to do mine every day and my hair is totally damaged i have split ends and everything it looks like some one has burnt it !!

so yeah my advice is if your gonna do it don't do it too much  

Answer 18

it will damage your hair if you do it for like more then a month stright

try one of those heat protecting creams and make sure your hair ISNT wet when you straighten it  

Answer 19

i have been straightening my hair almost everyday for 3 years.

not a lot of damage at all. but then again i have really thick hair nd its hard to damage it. use a heat protection product an dincest in a good iron. my hair actully got really damaged once like 5 years ago cuz  i used like a 20 dollar iron. if you only flat iron once in a while you shoodnt hvae any problems.
