My friend straightened my hair today, and my god, do I look good! Sorry that I don't have any pics, but my hair has never looked better. My hair still feels hot from the straightener and a little bit frizzy, but my hair length seems to have doubled! No exagerration! I now feel like a true long hair and my hair has finally settled down to shoulder-length, especially at the back. It has been 15 months since my last cut and I'm enjoying life.
Thus I say, is it okay to straighten hair once a week _() I want to look good because I'm sick of my wavy-ish hair. Or maybe once a month I know about the damage so I do not want to use it on a 'regular' basis.
i heard that your hair doesnt get damaged if you use CERAMIC straighteners.. so i guess its not bad
Ceramic irons can still damage hair, but getting a high quality iron (ones with adjustable temperature, even and constant heat) and using correctly (keep it moving, use the right temp for your hair type) well help a lot.
What sort of straighter did you use? I'd hate to see any damage to hair that's for sure.

I seem to recall on April 2nd you promised an update on the 13th.
Now you've straightened your hair but sorry no pics.
I'm sure we're all looking forward to seeing your hair as you've
talked about it a lot over time on this forum. Digital cameras
are so common these days surely you know someone who'll snap a pic
of you to share.
We'll keep an eye out for your update.
Take Care

Yeah, it was a Ceramic heat straightener.
On some days straightning can be tempting, but I rather tie a bandana or use a cap. My hair behaves different each day as it is wavy to but I don't want to straighten it because of possible damage.
Looking forward to your update pics.
If it makes your hair look great and you know what you're doing, I say go for it. :D Btw, are you using a straighting serum? They make a big difference.
