Is Straightening Bad for Your Hair?
A hair iron is a heated metal (usually) appliance that temporarily changes the consistency of your hair. In the case of a straightener,Thomas Sabo TR1812-051-14 Ring, the hair iron will make the hair straighter. Some styling irons can both straighten and curl the hair, depending on which mode they have been set to. Straightening irons range in price from about $15 to $200, depending on the size, the material the iron is made of and the heating process. The most popular straightening irons press hair between ceramic plates. Frequently straightening your hair can be damaging to the hair follicles, causing them to dry out or become brittle.
Effects：Hair straighteners damage hair by thinning the hair shaft and drying out the hair, causing breakage. Any heat is damaging to hair, and using a hair straightener is no worse than using a curling iron, hot rollers or any other heat-based styling device. If you are experiencing breakage, split ends or thinning hair from using a hair straightener, decrease your use to every other day or once a week, and use a deep conditioner while showering to keep hair from getting brittle and breaking off.
Warning：Do not straighten wet hair with a straightening iron unless you own a hair iron specifically designed to do so. You will know if you have a straightener designed to style wet hair if there are a series of ventilation holes in the top of the straightener to let the steam and water out. Always test your hair straightener on the lowest setting before moving up to a temperature that you are satisfied with. Straighten your hair at the lowest temperature that styles your hair to your liking. Do not use your straightening iron if it appears to be broken or hotter than usual.
