Does straightening/curling your hair affect hair growth?

Most of the people in my family have really thick, healthy hair when they're younger, but they lose hair earlier than they should; around middle age. I've been straightening my hair a lot, and it just occurred to me that it might be harmful and cause my hair to fall out even earlier. Does anyone know if it does affect it?

the straghteners wont affect the thinning of your hair but they are very damaging unless you are using the correct products to match your straightners.

hair thins with age and most families have the same growth pattern, if your hair starts to fall out go to your pharmacy-they can recommend a product for your own hair type. :)
