Do hair straighteners damage hair?

answers1: its depends on your hair type, but in most cases in burns
the hair, if you use a certain spray for straighteners it should help,
but over time it does. and they work best on long hair, but it will
still work on short hair too.
answers2: they do damage it to some extent but it's usually worth
it.You can always buy some heat protectant shampooo (: and yes they do
work on short hair.
answers3: If you use them everyday and no heat protectant then YES,
the heat will damage your hair. I recommend that you don't use it
everyday and that you use a heat protectant. Also, using a high
quality straightener will help a lot!
answers4: Only if its a cheap straightener and/or you arnt properly
protecting your hair first
answers5: It doesn't matter what you pit on your hair before or after
either way it gets damaged. <br>
<br>
When shopping for a hair straightener think about how much your gonna
be using it and how big it should be and how hot it should get. <br>
For me because my hair is medium length, very curly and medium
textured i got one that was about 1 1/2" and made sure it got extra
hot incase i was in a hurry and because i planned on using close to
everyday i wanted to minimize damage by getting on with tourmaline(has
ions when heated too) plates and ions(to make it shinier by closing
the pores in the hair). <br>

answers6: yes and they do work on short hair but you can lessen the
damage by takeing a heat protectant and lightly sprtizing your hair.
answers7: If you mean the straightening irons, yes, they do damage
hair. The implement itself is not the problem, but the people that
use them. Most do not know how to use them correctly, and overheat
their hair, or do it when the hair is not completely dry. Moisture in
the hair when heated will create steam and "explode" the hair on the
inside and then in a few months, after you've forgotten what you have
done, will the hair come apart and you don't know why. Some of the
heat protection products may work a bit, but proper use of the irons
is what you need to do. Remember that once the damage is done, you
cannot repair it. <br>
<br>
Everything works. But you need to use the right tool in the right way
to get the results you want. Using the wrong tool in the wrong way on
the wrong hair will always create a mess.
answers8: When you apply any type of heat to your hair, it will cause
damage. The trick is finding the right PRODUCTS to use to help this.
<br>
<br>
You can buy different kind of straighteners that will cause less
damage. example being, Ceramic ones are less harmful than a metal
ones. Also, if you buy shampoo and conditioner that repair, hydrate,
or even are made for straight hair this will help as well. <br>
<br>
It IS okay to straighten or curl your hair daily, as long as you are
taking care of it with the products you are using.
answers9: If you don't use it right. <br>
<br>
I've been straightening my hair practically everyday for the past 7
years and everyone says my hair is the softest they have ever felt.
It's shiny still and great. Just use good shampoo, don't hold the flat
iron on your hair super long and not on wet hair!
answers10: They only damage your hair if you don't do the proper prep
before using them. <br>
<br>
Make sure your hair is completely dry before straightening, and use a
thermal protection product before any heat comes in contact with your
hair (this means hair dryers too). You can buy a thermal protecting
spray at any big stores like Walmart or Target for a couple of
dollars. <br>
<br>
They work on all types of hair and all lengths. Make sure you don't
leave the plates on the hair too long, just a quick clean swipe, or
else it can fry your hair. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps! :)
