Im trying to prove to my dad that straightening wont damage my hair?

Im trying to convince my dad to buy me a straightener because i am really in need of one, he said he will buy me one if i can prove to him that it wont damage my hair, i have thick, strong hair. i have never dyed it, or ever used anything on it before, so i think that my hair is pretty healthy. i cant do any straighteniing treatments if they are expensive.

if u get the ceramic straighteners, not the metal ones, and spray heat protection on ur hair before straightening, then it wont damage, dont do it everyday though! it does dry up. since it the heat is obviously hot.

well, it does damage your hair

sometimes if you buy a straighning spray ( you spray it on before you straighten) you might be able to say "if i use this first.. it will burn the spray and not my hair" then if he sees the steam you can say its because of the spray

also, tell him you wont use it everyday.. and using a good conditioner will keep it healthier

Don't chemically straighten your hair. A good, ceramic plated flat iron (inexpensive $30 is Remington Wet2Straight...I use it in the salon...or expensive $120 would be a CHI iron) won't damage your hair if you are sure to use a good thermal spray (CHI Iron Guard, V05 Miracle Mist are both great) and don't iron your hair DAILY. At most do it every other day. Try to stretch your shampoos to every other day, that way there's no need to blow dry and straighten daily.

It kind of does, and I know this personally, until I started to do it only 1-2 times a week and my hair was alot healthier. You'll be ok if you don't overdo it and find one with plenty of ceramic material- here's a great site, I have the 3rd straightener on the list.

Buy a straightener with your own money so you don't have to prove anything to your dad.

How comes so many peoples' parents around here try to pass decrees on what their children can and can't do with their hair?

Take him to talk with the hairdresser. That will set him straight and make him very conmfortable with the end result.

I use a flat iron to straighten my har. They sell protective spray to use prior so it won't damage your hair. I have never chemically straightened it though. Have your dad talk to a professional hairstylist to reassure him.

honey I'm sorry to spill it to you but IT WILL what it does is it burns not only you but it burns your hair little by little

It's gonna damage your hair to some degree, but you can reduce the effects of the damage.

Use a moisturising shampoo+conditioner and make sure to deep condition it every other week or so. Then you should get a good heat protectant to use on your hair before you straighten it (I use "soya want flat hair" by healthy sexy hair, but there are some good ones you can buy at the store too like treseme or pantene).

Also, make sure you have a good straightening iron. I would get a ceramic ones as those distribute heat evenly and shouldn't fry your hair if used correctly. Don't straighten your hair while it's still wet, thats really bad for it.

If you're gentle with your hair it will stay pretty healthy =)

use a chi. its expensive, but if used right, it straightens and doesn't damage ur hair basically. but all straightening does a lil. but only if u ave like curly hair, then it becomes wavy if u straighten it every day. u kno?

Im trying to prove to my dad that straightening wont damage my hair?

I'm gonna be honest with you. I have the same type of hair that you do and I got a perm.

I regret it to this day...

It strips your hair of texture and it does damage your hair. And if you're as unlucky as I was, it'll take your hair out if you allow someone else to put it in and leave it in too long.. or if you leave it in too long yourself.

If I were you I'd stay far away from them. I wish I had, now I have to get them or my hair will come out.... again...

Using a regular flat iron, will damage your hair over time. Using an iron made to straighten hair, wont necessarily damage your hair if you use straightening products to protect your hair from the heat of the iron. I really don't think you have to worry about much... just make sure you don't iron your hair when its wet.. its best ironed after its cleaned, and blow dried.

(Even if the hair straightening treatments were cheap, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone unless you have a natural extreme frizz.)

Chemical Reconstruction of the hair shaft is very damaging to the hair. It will destroy the integrity of the hair.
