frequent heat styling

Re: frequent heat styling

Typically what I do is wash, condition and straighten my hair on a Sunday and leave it like that for almost 4 days. Then I wish it again and leave it like that for the rest of the week. Come Friday I oil and condition it again.

Deep heat oil treatments work great. Try them once a week!

Re: frequent heat styling

4 days without washing..!? I don't feel clean till I rinse them everyday =(

Re: frequent heat styling

Seriously even with blow drying and styling, my hair only lasts 2 days max before i hvae to wash it again...leaving it naturally, 1 day!

Re: frequent heat styling

you don’t wash your hair for 4 days? :eek:

btw what’s GHD?

Re: frequent heat styling

^ GHD is a really expensive/fancy hair straightener. supposed to be top of the line and all..

ok so anybody here like tried to wean themselves off of constant heat styling?

and yall need to recommend me a haircare regime that's low maintenance and will show a difference by 3 weeks. :@:

Re: frequent heat styling

does is make a difference if u blowdry ur hair for 5 min or 30 min. i usually let my hair air dry then i use serum on hair then i really fast dry may hair straight within 5 min, hairdryer with the brush attach to it, this way i dont have to straight my hair with flat iron and my hair is nice and staight. otherwise its so frizzzyyyyy,, hate it ,, i notice with flat iron my hair looks real thin and straight with blowdryer its look thick.. not sure which one is good 4 hair blowdryer or flatiron...?

Re: frequent heat styling

for hair... i recommend regular oiling.... after every 3 - 4 days.... do proper oiling and comb/ brush ur hair for about 10 min. (after oiling)
it'll give a healthy look to ur hair.... inshAllah

Re: frequent heat styling

waysay i m toooooooo careful abt my hair.... i don't really know abt the straightening and ironing stuff... i'm too scared to use these things on my hair :(

Re: frequent heat styling

This ancient lady that lives close to my house told me to use camel milk and methi seed powder (3 times a week) on the scalp...I always had Mashallah thick hair..but they've gotten way better! Softer..and more manageable!

Re: frequent heat styling

I do it 2 to 3 times a week. My hair actually feels much healthier and silkier and dull if I don't straighten it. But I never use a blow dryer.

Re: frequent heat styling

How are GHD's different than CHI straighteners?
Or perhaps we can start another thread on those.

Re: frequent heat styling

:cb: tht’s wat really annoyz me too, the fact tht they straighten 2-3 times a week n their hair is healthy and me despite doing it occasionally looks all damaged n dull lol sumone told me more frequent straightening helps tho’ :bummer: tried tht but the hair has gotten worse…spilt ends n really dry :frowning:

And GHD are i think a better brand than ‘Chi’, i think the Chi ones are cheaper aswell, altho’ they both work in similar way. GHD are used widely in the uk, especially by top salonz. They are really gud but if the hair isn’t protected with various products, like any other straightener they damage the hair :bummer:

I use products aswell but still my hair getz messed up with straightening…itz an awful sight once washed! :crying:
