I am obessessive about straightening my hair - I use a hairdryer and straighteners on my hair every day which surely cant be good for it. I was considering chemically straightening my hair since I am already doing enough damage to it at the moment. Would this be a good idea?

If you use a heat protector (Charles Worthington takeaways does one) and ceramic straighteners you should be ok. What kind of straighteners do you use? I'm against permanent straightening as a girl i knew had it done once and it burnt her scalp and scarred her for life. However I have heard of the new Yuko system for permanent straightening. Don't know much about it except that the price depends on the length of your hair and it's about �250 for shoulder length hair,
Alice- I also have to blowdry and straighten my hair everyday unless I wewant to look like a bush! I really wouldnt want to chemically straighten my hair.. its alot of money for a big risk in my opinion. Just stick to you straightners, and although this CAN dry out your hair, making it frizzy and/or brittle.... like 5029 said as long as you use a treatment it's fine. I use John Friedas Hair Serum. You just run a small amount through your hair while still wet, and then style as usual. It really does leave it looking and feeling smooth and shiny (do I sound like an advert here?? :oD) It is quite expensive at �6 a bottle, but it lasts ages. Hope ive helped!
There seems to be a few fans of straight hair here, myself included. Ive been blowdrying and straightening my shoulder-length highlighted hair for over 3 years and according to my hairdresser theres been no damage to my hair. The only downside is that ive burnt my forehead a few times (this morning was one) when ive been a bit sleepy and careless! A friend of mine has had her hair chemically straightened with great results and her hair looks glossy and shiny with no frizz at all. I would certainly try this myself but because my hairs colour treated I cant have it done. Id go ahead with it - im sure it will look great and save all those tortuous hours with a dead arm pulling those straighteners through your hair. good luck!
I once tried a chemical straightener and it was awful. As moonhead says try John Frieda's Frizz Ease .. it is brilliant. After all these years I have finally found something that works!!!
