Straightening your hair may have become part of your identity; you don\u2019t feel quite \u201cfinished\u201d<\/em> if you step out of the door with your mane untamed.<\/p>\n

But what happens if you straighten your hair every day? We\u2019re here to answer this question, and to look into the ins and outs for your hair.<\/p>\n

What Happens If You Straighten Your Hair Every Day?<\/h2>\n

Straightening hair can lead to damage of the hair, because of the high temperatures used by the straightening irons.<\/p>\n

Once in a while won\u2019t have too much effect on your hair, but if you are doing it every day then there are some things you should think about:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Find a high quality straightener.<\/strong> Go for one that has ceramic, titanium or tourmaline plates as these will be the best for your hair<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  2. Use as low a setting as you can.<\/strong> Using a slightly cooler heat on your locks will cause less long term damage.<\/li>\n
  3. Use a heat protector spray.<\/strong> These clever serums can help to protect your hair from the heat of the straighteners.<\/li>\n
  4. Use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner.<\/strong> These products<\/a> can impart a great deal of moisturising goodness to your hair, helping it combat the damage from the heat.<\/li>\n
  5. Use a natural brush.<\/strong> Synthetic brushes can contribute to static and cause \u201cfly aways\u201d<\/em> and frizziness, so go for a boar bristle or other natural material brush<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  6. Dry your hair first.<\/strong> Making sure your hair is dry before you straighten it is one of the kindest things<\/a> you can do for your hair!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Is It Bad To Straighten Hair Every Day?<\/h2>\n

    \"Is<\/p>\n

    Straightening your hair every day is no bad thing, if that\u2019s your look and what you like to do.<\/p>\n

    However, there are better and worse ways to straighten your hair! As long as you look after it and use the appropriate products, you can straighten away all you like.<\/p>\n

    Hair straightening can cause stress to the hair, because you are basically placing it between two burning hot plates! Ever burnt yourself on your straighteners? Then you know how hot they can get!<\/p>\n

    Hair can cope with heat, of course. But too much heat on a regular basis can damage it – this is not the same as sitting out in the sun for a few hours!<\/p>\n

    The concentrated heat from the straightening tongs, and the fact that it is direct contact with the hair, means that your hair may start to protest a little bit.<\/p>\n

    You can, of course, straighten your hair every day if you want to. Just make sure you do it properly, and give it a little TLC to stop it from becoming damaged!<\/p>\n

    How Can I Straighten My Hair Every Day Without Damaging It?<\/h2>\n

    Straightening hair can harm it, because of the heat. Excessive heat can cause hair to become dry and brittle, and it risks getting damaged.<\/p>\n

    In order to straighten your hair without ruining it, you need to use protective products to prevent too much of the heat from getting to your hair.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Start by washing your hair well, using plenty of shampoo and conditioner to make it strong and healthy.<\/li>\n
    2. Dry your hair well, either by air drying or using a low heat with a hair dryer.<\/li>\n
    3. Apply your heat protectant spray to keep the hair protected from the heat from the straighteners.<\/li>\n
    4. Section your hair, so that you don\u2019t end up going over the same pieces more than once.<\/li>\n
    5. Use the lowest heat setting on your straighteners, so that you minimise the damage from the heat.<\/li>\n
    6. If you can, invest in a ceramic straightener. These will protect your hair better because of the negatively charged ions.<\/li>\n
    7. Hold the hair out straight, to minimise the work that the straighteners have to do.<\/li>\n
    8. Use a hair mask<\/a> regularly. These nourishing masks will help to nourish your hair and add some much needed moisture that the straighteners can remove.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
