Straightening hair once a week?

So I have VERY thick & curly hair, but I usually like to straighten it once a week. Of course I use heat protection spray, and also apply coconut oil to my hair before washing it once a week. I am just afraid that I will start losing hair... so is it safe/okay to straighten it once a week? I usually get a lot of compliments about how healthy my hair looks, so I don't want to damage it too much, yet I also don't want to wear my hair down curly.

(I use a Chi straightener & Chi protection spray).

    Yes it's fine. Many girls use heat on their hair every single day and don't use protection. You're fine, but you will have split ends about in a month or two. If you're hair is so thick why would it randomly fall out?

    I have frizzy wavy thick hair and I straighten my hair every single day! My hair looks fine because I use Pantene hair moisturizer and also a heat protector. Hope this helps xx

    I straighten my hair everyday. I'm sure yours will be fine. Just always use the spray, do deep conditioning every once in a while, and trim your dead ends.

    There are products you can get that will help keep your hair straighter longer too. : )
