Can flat irons change the texture of your hair?

My hair is naturally curly, but lately I have been straightening my hair with my Solia Flat iron.

I tried air dry my hair with a little moose and I just got these messy waves. So my question is; is it possible for a flat iron to change the texture of your hair?

I've tried everything but I can't get my hair to curl....

#_# so sad

Update:

I do use heat protection spray?! ah...my hair is ruined?!

    ohhhhhh yes, definitely. the heat damage from ur straightener will screw up ur hair. it'll get all frizzy and weird bc the heat denaturalizes the proteins in ur hair which, in turn, causes your hair strands to change their shape and lose their shine. i'd suggest trying something else or just getting pro advice from a stylist before ur flat iron ruins ur hair...

  • I think that the heat from the iron has damaged your hair, you might want to use a heat protecting hair product before straightening.
