effects

o yes big time they have an after effect that will dry out your hair bad and one of my friend did that and she need to cut off 12 inches of here hair off cus it was so damage she mit have a change if she use some heat protetion but i don't now all i know it that its very day to do that, also it depends on what flatiron you have some are better then others one of them is realy good but its like $129.99

I have been using a flat iron on my hair almost everyday for school for 5 years. It hurts your hair by basically frying it flat. But it doesnt cause any damage that cant be fixed. You can fix it by getting your hair cut. But, some straighteners are so powerful they fry your hair the first time you use it, usually the chi straighteners.

I've heard that they can dry out your hair. I used to use my flat iron alot, but it started making my hair weak. The newer cermanic straighners are supposed to be much better with preventing damage. They dont make hair as brittle and they make it shiny too!! She should be fine if she deep conditions it every so often.
