Flat irons/Curlers: Do you use them?

Any time you use a heated appliance on your hair it can damage it but like anything else it's fine in moderation. The new ceramic irons are incredibly hot but because of the high heat they don't have to have contact with your hair for as long. IMO they cause less damage than blow dryers. I would advise not straightening your hair more than 3 times a week and using a really moisturizing conditioner or even one that is specifically formulated for use with heat styling.

No, I have never personally used one myself but my hair stylist has used one on me a few times. It always makes my hair nice and silky smooth. I think I am going to save up a little bit of money to buy a nice high quality one that is ceramic. I am also going to get some of that protection spray. I need all the help I can get as my hair is very curly/frizzy and I live in Florida. Have a great day and happy myLotting!!!

i use them but i'm sorry to diss your hairdresser but i don't think she knows what she is talking about cus doiing it every day is not good for no one thats going to dangage your hair bad even if you do us some stuff to protect it, the damage will still be there not as much as with no heat protection but still damage.

They can be bad for your hair if you use them a lot and dont put anything on your hair before using. I use a flat iron almost every day and I have special spray thats made to use with flat irons or curling irons to help protect your hair from the heat. Its not going to protect it all the way but it will help a lot better then just straightening your hair with no products in it. And also they make flat irons for different types of hair as well like one for fine hair, normal hair, corse hair, so if you buy your own try to find one made for your type of hair and it will work a lot better then if you just get any kind. Or if you have the money try and buy a professional one like the ones they use in the salons.

You can straighten your hair but not everyday because from what I know flat irons could damage your hair and will make your hair dry and brittle. If you want it straight, why dont you go for hair rebonding, it will cost you but it will take you months before it will return to its original shape and it wont give damage to your hair, depending on who will straighten your hair.

I use one from time to time. I bought one though that actually steams the hair putting moisture in rather then a traditional flat iron. It's pretty fair.
