Your own opinion on straightening hair?

so a few months ago i went to my hairdresser and she was telling me about how this one woman used to straighten her hair every other day and in a year she was bald....

this scared me but i dunt know wat else to do with my hair ...so i continued to straighten it.

ive noticed my hair is thinner but there no signs of balding anywhere...

then last night i had a dream that there was a bald patch on my head... so i freaked out !

.... wat does my dream mean? and wat is ur opinion on straightening hair, do u believe it is not good for you?

also if anyone can give me any ideas of what else i can do with my hair besides straightening! Thank ...

P.S. i have wavy hair

what!? its just a scare story sweetie! i've been straightening mine every other day for the past 3 years, and it as thick as ever! just make sure you always condition, do a hot oil treatment every month and get lots of protein and vitamin E in your diet.

Your own opinion on straightening hair?

When you are stuck at home, don't straighten your hair. Lock up your straightener whenever possible. If you have to use it everyday, okay. Just take care of your hair. Use masks, conditioning treatments, etc. Don't worry about it all too much. And if your hair gets fried somehow, use a mask and skip the straightener for a day or two. Waves are hot, so it's okay. Good luck!

i think you should stop straightening your hair for awhile. take a break before it gets fried or you can buy some projects that protect your hair from the hot iron.

and in a month or two start back up only using it a little bit at a time :)

I use to straightening my hair with perms...but it caused my hair to break off.

If you had a dream like that you might want to be careful.

Its true that straightening does damage your hair but i highly doubt you will go bald!!!

Your hair may be just loosing volume not necessarily thinning.

Your Dream was just showing you your fears it doesn't mean any thing! :oP

To keep your hair healthier try using a ceramic straightener. These tend to be less damaging.

Also when you straighten use a heat tamer

It prevents damage

If you dont want to straighten your hair every day use some curl control. It will give your waves more volume and more curl like.

Your own opinion on straightening hair?

straightening your hair everyday of course isn't healthy for your hair but it won't make you go bald. maybe it's just that lady has a unusual/special circumstance. i would just recommend straightening your hair when it is fully dry just in case and use alot of conditioner or leave-in conditioner. and every once in awhile do a deep condition, not hot oil treatments. thats not for everybody. don't worry!

Your own opinion on straightening hair?

I straighten my hair everyday and I've been doing it for over a year now. Nothing has happened to me at all...except my hair is a little thinner but thats natural. My haridresser never says anything about my straightening. She even says I have great hair. So I don't think there is anything wrong with straightening your hair. I've never heard of anyone's hair every falling out!!

I actually have a friend that has way cruly hair and she straightens her hair usually about 2 or 3 times a day just to keep it managable and she has been doing this for about five years now. If anything, she has even more hair than before!! lol. so trust me, nothing will happen to your hair!

and P.S- wavey hair is super cute! you should be proud of what you have. some ppl spend hours trying to get their hair wavey and you have it natuarally!! :-)

Your own opinion on straightening hair?

i straighten my hair every day but my hair has yet to fall out because of it. i also dye it once a month. the key is to condition your hair. vitamin e, fish oil, and deep conditioners all help maintain healthy hair.

Your own opinion on straightening hair?

Straightening your hair does cause heat damage. You will not go bald though. Your hair can get very frizzy and may even break.

You really should get deep conditioning treatments though to help protect your hair, and make sure you use heat protection spray.

LOL Sorry but this is kinda funny

I straighten mine 3-4 times a week for the past 3 years and it hasn't thinned at all.
