Why does my hair fall out so much when I straighten it?

Overuse of hot styling tools, such as your hairdryer, curling wand and straighteners, can make your hair dry, prone to breakage and consequently more likely to fall out, especially if you use them every day. This is because when too much strong, dry heat is applied to the hair it weakens the hair shaft.

Will hair grow after straightening?

Permanent straightening at the salon is the cheapest of the salon options for getting results, and the least time-consuming. It lasts for up to 6 months, and as untreated hair grows in, the weight of the treated hair beneath it can mean it grows in looking like soft waves.

Is my hair thinning or just fine?

The best way to understand if you have thin or thinning hair is to look for changes in your hair quality and hairline over time. If your hair isn’t dense, but you don’t notice any of these changes, you have thin hair; if you notice changes over time, chances are it’s thinning.

How long should you leave your hair natural before straightening it?

When you can, leave your hair natural for a day or two and go an extra day in between straightening. Chances are it won’t have sprung back up to its natural curls completely overnight, so unless you have washed it, it should still be relatively straight for a while.

Should you comb your hair before or after straightening?

Wide-toothed comb – to get all the tangles out of your hair before you begin straightening it! Even if you have just conditioned your hair, it is worth combing through just before it is completely dry. It makes it easier to separate the sections.

Should You Blow Dry Your Hair before or after straightening it?

If you are in a hurry, use a blow drier to dry your hair thoroughly before you straighten it. Blow dry it down the strands from the roots, and you can brush it through as you go along. Choosing the wrong temperature setting – choosing a heat that is too high for your hair can singe and burn the strands.

Should you use hairspray after straightening your hair?

If you are straightening your hair for an everyday look, you may not think to apply hairspray after you have styled it. But a small spritz of hairspray will hold any flyaway hairs in place throughout the day, without needing to make your hair stiff.
