Is flat ironing your hair safe?
I'm gonna give it to you straight: No, straightening you hair is not healthy.Frequently straightening your hair can be damaging to the hair follicles, causing themto dry out or become brittle.Below is something I found on the internet:EffectsHair straighteners damage hair by thinning the hair shaft and drying out the hair, causing breakage. Any heat is damaging to hair, and using a hair straightener is no worse than using a curling iron, hot rollers or any other heat-based styling device. If you are experiencing breakage, split ends or thinning hair from using a hair straightener, decrease your use to every other day or once a week, and use a deep conditioner while showering to keep hair from getting brittle and breaking off.
