Heat can be very damaging to hair, it is best to limit the amount of heat you put in your hair and even better if you cut out heat all together!
Heat damage can come from Flat Irons, Curling Irons, Hair Dryers etc…
If you guys read my blog “Just Trying To be Comfortable in my Curls” you know I am not completely happy with my hair…so because of this I have an ugly habit of straightening my hair whenever I have something I consider important to do.
Things I consider important enough to straighten my hair:
*Going out
*Auditions
*Holidays
*Special Events
*Going on trips
*Winter Season
I straighten my hair pretty often in the Fall because I air dry my hair and I don’t want to get sick or walk outside with it wet. I keep telling myself I’m going to quit straightening my hair and I actually just went 2 months without straightening it but then BAM I got an audition that said I had to have straight hair with a loose curl (what are the odds) so I had to bust out the flat iron once again.
I know I have to stop putting heat in my hair because doing so causes damage, if you guys look at my pictures that I posted in my last blog “Do You Know Your Hair Type” you can see I have heat damage on the front of my hair (luckily its only in the front) but my hair will no longer curl there! I actually get urges to just cut off the straight parts in the front but who knows how that will turn out lol! I’m to scared to find out so I wont be cutting it anytime soon!
My main problem is that I love when my hair is straight, I feel most comfortable when my hair is straight…I don’t know if this feeling will ever go away but I hope that it does!
So since I have this problem with straightening my hair I make sure that I deep condition it once a week, I also do the Olive Oil Treatment once every 2 weeks and as far as heating products I use a ceramic flat iron which is supposed to not be as damaging and wont destroy your hair like

regular flat irons can.

I completely understand how you feel Iyanna. I felt that way when I did my big chop so I threw in a sew-in weave(straight hair). But now, I embrace myself the way GOD created me. He didn't create me with BONE STRAIGHT HAIR and eventually I grew to love my curls. And I really love it because I stand out as a unique individual. I love your curls!! This is Courtney by the way.
