If you are wondering, is it bad to straighten your hair every day? You must be addicted to the hair straighter and straight hair, right? Make no mistake. Straight hair is beautiful, and I love it, but you should avoid straightening it every day.<\/p>\n

According to stylists working in hair straightening salons<\/strong><\/a>, you should avoid straightening your hair every day as you end up ruining or even burning it.<\/p>\n

Hair can\u2019t re-produce the moisture it loses every time you run the flat iron through it, and every time the hair loses the moisture, it weakens. As the hair weakens, it breaks, and finally, it burns.<\/p>\n

So, to answer your question, yes, it\u2019s bad to straighten your hair every day. In fact, you shouldn\u2019t do it. To avoid damaging your hair, reduce the frequency at which you straighten it. For example, instead of straightening it daily, straighten it once or twice a week.<\/p>\n

Besides reducing the frequency, you also should take these measures to ensure you straighten the hair with as little damage as possible:<\/p>\n

Section your hair<\/h1>\n

When you are straightening your hair, always section it. This way, you have better access to each hair section, so you don\u2019t go over the same hairpieces repeatedly, increasing the chances of damage. Instead of reaching behind the top layer of your hair, clip the hair up to reach the bottom layer easily.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t straighten wet hair.<\/h2>\n

Regardless of how late you are to get to work, you shouldn\u2019t use the hair straightening iron on wet hair. The reason for this is because the wet hair won\u2019t take the heat easily, and as a result, you will be forced to go over the same strands a couple of times, leading to serious hair damage.<\/p>\n

When you flat iron wet hair<\/a>,<\/strong> you cause moisture to burst out in little steam explosions that cause the bubbling and buckling of the cuticles that appear as tiny hair blisters when you observe them under a microscope.<\/p>\n

To protect your hair, always wait for it to dry before straightening it. One reason people are tempted to straighten wet hair is waking up late, so the hair isn\u2019t dry by the time they want to step out of the house.<\/p>\n

To avoid this, set the alarm to wake you up early. This way, you have ample time to thoroughly wash your hair and carefully dry it with a towel, then finally properly straighten it.<\/p>\n

Apply a heat protectant before straightening the hair<\/h2>\n

Heat protectants come in handy at keeping your hair safe and healthy. There is no right or wrong protectant. You only need to avoid the extremely cheap ones, as they might not give you the results you are looking for. For even better results, buy a protectant that doubles as a smoothing or shine product.<\/p>\n

When it comes to applying the protectant, there is no formula to it. Spray or rub in a little of it in the hair, and you are good to go.<\/p>\n

Use the lowest temperature setting.<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s tempting to set your hair straightener to the highest setting so that it heats fast and you straighten a lot of hair once, but don\u2019t do this as it\u2019s a recipe for disaster. To avoid damaging your hair, use the lowest temperature setting. When you buy a new straightener, test out each setting starting from the lowest and see how it works.<\/p>\n

Regularly use a mask.<\/h4>\n

To lessen the hair straightener’s impact, stylists working in Japanese hair straightening salon Rockville<\/strong><\/a> recommend you use a restorative hair mask from time to time. The mask allows the hair to rejuvenate, and as a consequence, it stays healthy for a long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
