10. Development of Poor Hair Structure
The natural structure of hair is permanently damaged. When the new hair grows from the scalp the overall structure of the hair looks poor as the structure of the straightened hair is dull and dry and new hair that grows above it is natural. The actual effect of the chemicals and the dryers is that they make the hair dry and that makes it brittle. The hair can get extremely damaged and in some cases they get burnt also. The negative effects that occur are relatively much higher than the other styling done to your hair.
If you are choosing hair straightening process done at home, select the dryer or the straightener that is based on ionic systems. The main reason is that their heating surface is non-sticky and causes less damage to the hair.

Precautions to Prevent the Side Effects of Hair Straightening
Use the dryer and straightener occasionally and sparingly. Make sure your hair is conditioned, dry and you should also coat it with heat protective product before you use a straightening iron. Make certain that the iron is not too hot and apply it to hair in small portions. It is better to move the iron gently down the hair and then leave it slowly. If the outcome is below your satisfaction level, you can follow the process all over again. But never ever stop the iron on any part of the hair.Remember, if the damage is done to the cuticle, it is irreversible. You will not be able to do anything after that. So, it is always better to take precautions when you use styling products or go through treating your hair in a different way. Do not use the iron when your hair is wet. Before you use the hair straightening iron, make sure you test the heat so that you get assured that it is perfect for your hair.
Straightening of Hair at Home
When you straighten your hair at home the results are not like what you get in a salon. It is rarely sleek and smooth. Over processing may cause damage to the hair and under processing will not give you proper results. You will have to choose the right combination well. The thinning of the hair causes breakage and uses a deep conditioner when you shower your hair. This will prevent hair damage to some extent.Although, it is not certain that a hair straightener will cause damage to your hair, in any case it will make your hair brittle. The main damaging products are the chemicals and the heat applied to the hair. If you want to get your hair straightened, you should approach a good salon that has experience and expertise performing this process.
You can have that silky straight hair and minimize the damage if you use the chemical and the iron it less frequently. To give your hair a break, try other styling ways. Use hair repair cream along with the hair conditioner at least once in a month. If you follow these precautionary methods, you will be able to get the hair you like and that too not at the cost of your crowning glory. Do you know what the side effects of hair straightening are?

Comments: Your article is really nice but I do not agree that hair straightening damages the hair. I had it done few months back and I only have occasional hair fall, which is natural. May be this happens because of choosing a cheap salon to get your hair straightening done. If you go to renowned salons you will have it done professionally and efficiently
