I notice everyone on here keeps saying that it doesnt stunt your hair growth - which is true. But what it does do - which feels as though your hair growth has been stunted (is that a word LOL ) is it does make it dry - especially the ends ... and then the ends break off ... and the continue to break off - making it appear that your hair is not growing.

Also if you are new to flat ironing your hair -I will assume your hair isnt damaged as of yet ... but it can be very addicting .... try not to let this happen ---- maybe do it once a week and on specail occassions.

I started flat ironing my hair a few years ago .... did it every day and before I knew it - my hair was fried - so now I am in a catch 22 - because I want to stop so my hair can get healthy again - But I cant because my hair is just so fried - that i couldnt go to work at my office looking like that.

Always use a protector ... heat protector I mean. . . . depending on your hair there are some that are oily and some that arent - I love the tres semme (sp?) and the Nexus spray one - makes my hair feel very soft and clean

I also use a good flat iron - which is so so so worth it.

Hai makes good ones .... and so does Chi ....

But I think Hai is better -

Good luck

Straightening your hair daily really dries out your hair. It takes all of the moisture from your hair and makes it dry and brittle. However, some hair professionals say that if you buy an all-ceramic straightener, it may help. (These straighteners are rather expensive, though)

Straightening your hair may also make your hair look more "limp", rather than full of volume and life. It can also cause split ends, and make your hair thinner. Most straighteners should only be used on dry hair as well.

Good luck!

Damage to your hair cannot stunt the growth; the growth comes from the scalp and has nothing to do with the health of your hair. You probably shouldn't use heat (straightener or blow dryer) on your hair every single day, because it will cause damage, but if you have to do it, put a heat protectant product on your hair first and also turn the heat down on the straightener as far as you can. For example, if it goes up to 15, try 8 or 9.

You have to protect your hair. Tresemme is amazing for that. My friend Brittney straightens it a lot and her hair is so dry in spots it looks and feels terrible, be careful with it. I twon't stunt any growth but trust me protecting your hair will make you feel ebtter in the future. I don't know from personal experience because I have pin straight hair, which is annoying sometimes, but it saves my hair,and me, a lot of trouble.

Hey,

It does stunts the growth. Stop straitening your hair and give it a new look till it grows out.

I straighten my hair every now and then, and it definitely dries it out after a while, and I, of course, get plenty of split ends... So that's maybe what they meant about "stunting the growth.." Just be sure to get a haircut every month or so %26amp; get some really good hydrating/moisturizing shampoo and conditioner... And be sure to put something on your hair BEFORE you straighten it...

well i used to do mine every day for one year !!!! so I had realy dry and damaged hair !!!! if you do it alot with out taking care of your hair and conditioning it regulary, after a while your hair gets split ends and thats terrible !!!! however it depends on your hair aswell !!!! ig you have thick hair it is more likely to get damaged more quickly !!!! if you dont then your hair gets less damage !!!! if you want to straighten it every day then my advice is to use conditioner when you go to take a shower, cut about half centimetre of your hair each month and make sure to use protection (ironing oil) before you straighten it !!!!
