    easily, there is not any opposite direction as properly warmth and chemical factors. something that breaks the bond of the hair is going to wreck it interior the long-term. if your brother has no longer very broken hair, Why would be unable to he get a chemical hair straightener? it may no longer make his hair fall out or something. And that's no longer risky. in no way. the only form of straightener it is even seen risky often is the Brazillian hair straightener with the aid of greater desirable than adequate formaldyhyde in it. however the different is totally superb to apply.

    straightening your hair a lot can make it look fake and damaged. if yuor hair is blond it is the worst. if you are grwoing out your bangs don't straighten them because you would look like a hippie. if you have a friend with a staight iron use thiers before you go buy your own because they could be a waste of your money.

    anything that you do to your hair that isnt natural is harmful, you just have to take side processes to counteract the damage. find a product before you use a straightener that prevents heat tool damage, and talk to your hairstylist about sideeffects before you go get a professional straightening perm.

    Any chemical process (like straightening) can dry out hair and be harmful.

    It will look good at first but be ready to spend on hair treatments to maintain it. Because if you neglect it you will end up with dry brittle hair.

    Good day!

    It looks nice at first...but in the long run, it'll dry out your hair. It'll also start to break off and will become less shiny.

    your hair might just get dry, the best way to prevent this is to use a protective serum before ironing your hair so the heat doesn't actually penetrate your hair, it just absorbs the serum. try any product by Redken

    depend on how dry is ur hair, and if u really want to straighten it then have to do treatments and protect it by using special shampoo...my mom is a hair stylist so thats from her but it might not be accurate as she didnt really see it for herself but you should ask ur hair stylist

    I say if your hair looks good don't f*** it up, for what...fashion?
