"It will make your hair dry and brittle"?

You know the famous phrase: "Straightening your hair often will make it dry, brittle, and unhealthy." Well, of COURSE it's unhealthy! Potato chips is unhealthy, too! And of COURSE it will make your hair dry, because you're using heat to straighten your hair! But the BIG, UNANSWERED question is, "HOW dry will it make your hair?" Will the dryness be so embarrasing that you have to shave your head and live as a munk for the rest of your life? Or is it only a slight dryness that will go away if you use the right conditioning/moisturizing products?

Honestly it depends on what else you are doing to your hair. If all you are doing is flat ironing it every now and then, it should not be too bad.

But, if you bleach it often and do a lot of other damaging things then it could possibly get very gross. I call it "Cotton Candy Hair"

Make sure to use the proper temperature for your hair type and to use a protection spray.

Depends how much you straighten it. If u straighten it every minute of your life then there probably will be disastrous consequences which might result in shaving off your hair its so bad.

The heat in an electric straigtener is so hot it scorches the hair. Want to walk around with burned hair? Once it is scorched,it breaks off, and you can't fix it.It has to grow out healthy again. Why is it everyone wants the exact opposite of what they have? An electric straightener is different from a curling iron as you don't hold a curling iron in one place for as long of a time and it doesn't get quite as hot as the plates on a straightener. I was a teen in the heyday of the curling iron...Can you say Farrah hair?? And I have seen some horrible damage from that. Scorched hair never will lie flat or look smooth no matter how many products you put on it.

I mean it could make you want to shave your head. Sraightening your hair every day is extremely bad for it. I've tried using the moisturizing shampoos and all that jazz, but the only solution i have found is getting hair cuts. And it sucks.

The only thing that has worked for me is hair serum, and I have to use it everyday and it's a pain in the assss.

Ps. Munks dont completely shave their head. They have a large bald spot, thats it.

the dryness and damage caused by straighteners depends on if u have coloured ur hair, got bleach, if u use em everyday or u dont use any protection spray.

usually the dryness can b helped by doing deep conditioning treatments tht help repair ur hair, using leave in conditioners tht add moisture n help detangle, getting hair trimmed every 4-6 weeks, using thermal protection spray when using the straighteners.

also where possible letting hair dry naturally or till its nearly dry then using the hairdryer will help.

and using a smoothing cream or serum will help.

me personally i have GHD's, i straighten my hair everyday, i have bleached highlights but i use all the right products and my hairs in better condition then most ppl's.

it depends. if you use a heat protectant hairspray before you straighten and then condition it probably won't be bad.
