Re: frequent heat styling

i know people who even more than this much and i dont understand how can they torcher themself so much lol...

Re: frequent heat styling

i know people who do it daily and their hair are as good as new :p
in the other hand i hardly use heat stuff on my hair once a month and my hair look like dried bushes

Re: frequent heat styling

Guilty, but I treat my hair to some ojon oil and hope it forgives me for all the curling and straighting. Oh and i don't blow dry my air anymore, let it air dry.

Re: frequent heat styling

i dont or else my poor hair will dieeeeeeee

Re: frequent heat styling

yeah....and I don't feel that guilty, is that bad?

Re: frequent heat styling

Do it twice a week, lasts 4 days till i wash the hair and straighten it again.

Conditon really well and use heat products to reduce the damage and owning the brand new spanking GHD doesnt hurt either :)

Re: frequent heat styling

never blow dry
just straighten 3 times a week
I can only last not washing my hair for a day!

Re: frequent heat styling

nah not feeling guilty is not really a bad thing as long as u treat it with conditioner and oil........i straighten mine like twice a week but i oil it every week and treat it with lots of conditioner so my hair is in pretty good condition........tho i can't blow dry my hair or it gets frizzy

Re: frequent heat styling

honey if u didn’t stop blowdrying ur hair 2-4 times a week then i’m afraid your brain will melt into honey and then you’ll say mera demagh mat chatto. :chai:

Re: frequent heat styling

^ Mera dimagh pehle se hi aik anda hai…bohot jaldi fried hota hai :bummer: abh honey bhi na banao

Re: frequent heat styling

What products do you use?

I wash my hair 2-3 times a week and when i do, ill just use a hairdryer for 5 minutes or so..just to set my bangs (still growing out the ugly haircut i got) and i leave the rest alone. now im noticing how huge my forehead looks or maybe its just my imaginiation :smack:

Re: frequent heat styling

De Lorenzo for Shampoo and Conditioner, their Extinguisher at the ends after towel drying and after straightening their leave in conditioner.

Ive stopped using the leave in as the Extinguisher protects and hydrates the ends.

I dont use the hairdryer, dont like it unless i need to dry the hair straightaway or its a very humid day.

Probably the fact that you are growing your bangs and they are growing longer and framing your face rather then covering your forehead is the reason you think the forehead is huge, if you have any problems with that then have a very thin C-section fringe in the front and grow the rest of the bangs.

@ topic ... will kill your hair

i straighten my air once or twice a week, but my sister does it like every single day ... her hair is in great shape, but that is because she takes a LOT of care of her hair ... if u take really good care of ur hair, and it's strong enough to bear the heat, i would guess it'll be fine blow drying and straightening it more often.

Re: frequent heat styling

How she takes care of it?

Re: frequent heat styling

she uses a LOT of conditioner in her hair (both after shampoo and leave-in ones), uses chi silk infusion and chi spray thing (don't remember the name now but have posted it in the straightening hair post) to protect her hair from heat. she also uses some kind of mayo mixture on her hair once a week, never combs her hair when it's wet, never blow dries it etc etc. let her come back home tonight, n i may even get some of her hair picz and post them here :p

Re: frequent heat styling

i have A LOT of split ends cuz i iron my hair like twice a week..and my hair has gotten much thinner since i started ironing it..i want my thick hair back! :(

Re: frequent heat styling

I used to. though in the past month I've stopped.

Re: frequent heat styling

Any heating product will def ruin the hair-shaft...sum see damage in the short-run others' hair stays in great shape till sum time n then starts showing the damage. Oil u're hair atleast 2-3 times a week...and if u decide on blow-drying it use a good serum..

Re: frequent heat styling

i wash my hair twice a week and use mustard oil (typical i know) b4 washing it. i started using pantene ice shine but i've got dandruff cos of it so i've had to start using head and shoulders, which in my opinion is the best shampoo around plus the conditioner is soo good. i let it dry naturally, then the day after washing it, i straighten it. then dont touch it till the next wash.
