Is it bad if you straighten your hair everyday?? My cousin straightens her hair almost everyday with a ceramic straightener. It is not supposed to damage/burn your hair. Is this bad for her hair if she uses all the time??

I too use a straighter every day almost. Its not the greatest on your hair, but if you use creams and such to protect it, it isn't that bad. Plus if you get trims like you should really its okay.

Hey Deep, I already had a straight hair and i really sometimes wanna to have curly hair when I use to go for parties. I feel if the hair are straightened with the chemicals very often, it do effect them adversely. Sometimes usage doent matter, but whenver these kinda products are used at its excess, then it really have their side effects :-)

As many others have suggested, every day straightening of the hair is probably bad for her hair. It dries the hair out a lot. Hopefully she is using a good conditioner to help restore some moisture back to her hair. I'm very lucky in this aspect. I have EXTREMELY straight hair. I've been complimented on it many times. Especially by people with curly hair who have to work hard to get their hair straight.

Yes, straightening your hair everyday is very damaging to your hair. It causes your hair to dry out quickly and leaves you with fried and damaged hair, that tends to look pretty bad. If you want beautiful hair, be sure to condition every other day or so, and only straighten on occations. It is not healthy either to dye or perm your hair, because it can have the same effects. Imagine throwing all of that together on your hair, dyeing and straightening both, it can have devastating effects on your precious mane.

I straighten my hair but tell your cousin that it really is not good to do it every day!! I find that if i get out of the shower right after washing it (which is every other day because washing it everyday will really dry it out) and blow dry it if you straighten it right after that it hold so much better!!
