Wow! Great information. I used to straighten my hair (that were kinda wavy) almost everytime I shower and lately I have started to notice that my hair has become all brittle and frizzy… totally out of shape. I know that damage has been done. but is there a solution now?

I have hair that is just wavy enough to look messy. I smooth it with a flat iron–because my hair is baby fine, it takes one pass. I color my hair with a very low peroxide color to cover gray and condition every time I wash, which has to be daily. Blowdrying doesn’t seem to smooth the frizz nearly as well, except in the coldest weather, unless a stylist does it, and it takes a lot longer. Is there a better way to get hair that has some style to it?

@SarahF Chemical straightening can also damage hair. Any hair treatment should be done in moderation and with consideration to keep hair healthy. Keeping that in mind, most people can safely use straighteners.
