hello magna 86! i rebonded my hair for 3 times already. what i do observe is that, after 3 months my hair starts to fall. so what i do after 4-5 months, i go back to the salon and do hair treatment again. i think doing hair colors, curling the hair and everyday use of iron and blower makes our hair weaker.. my stylish said that hair damaged usually happens when you over use hair iron or blower.

Yes that is true, excessive heat does damage your hair over time, so it's best to leave it natural as much as you can afford to. In my life I have very crinkled hair, like "mermaid-hair", with many small winding curls, and I do not straighten it. I really like my hair to have that shape and body, when I straighten it I feel so dull and boring, I don't feel as if I am myself, and I feel unique with my trademark hair haha, though more unique with my personality because hair doesn't really mean much in the long run haha. But yeah, any kind of heat on your hair causes damage, including but not limited to hair straighteners and hot blow dryers.

Hair straightening is in and I think it makes you look good also. The side effect of the same does include hair breakage and loosening as the heat damages the hair roots. They tend to fall also. But you can prevent all this by using a good oil massage and then a good shampoo followed by a conditioner.

hello...i straighten my hair..its true that it result hair damage if you don't take good care of you hair..after we straighten,we need to put more effort on our hair..washing hair once in two days..avoiding use too much shampoo that will make our hair dry..try to do hair treatment once or twice a month..apply some haircare oil on our hair..and many more ways to maintain our hair..so, i think that actually its up to ourselves whether straighten hair will result on our hair o not..to be pretty, there are many works that we need to do.. happy mylotting!
