Am I frying my hair?
15/f. I have shoulder length, naturally wavy blonde hair. I usually take a shower at night, let dry overnight, and straighten completely on medium power in the morning. Occasionally, I take a shower in the morning, blow-dry on medium power, and straighten just a few pieces on low power. I always use leave-in conditioner after getting out of the shower. I was wondering, which combination of straightening/blow drying is healthier for my hair? Letting it dry overnight is easier, but I'm concerned about frying my hair the next morning.

Well, it's damaging for your hair to do both blow dry and staighten. The one that is moat damaging is blow drying, is causes split ends. Straightening doesn't do much. I think what you should do is just take a shower every night and straighten your hair every morning, this way it doesnt damage your hair as bad.

Blow drying is the worst for your hair. I suggest you stick with the first one. However, why not wear your natural hair sometimes. I'm sure it's not that bad.
If you decide to continue the blow drying & straightening I suggest you use a hair protectant shampoo and conditioner so your hair won't be damaged so much. I'm not sure what brands are good but I suggest you ask a hair dresser or just go to the isle at your drug store and find one like that.

Heat damages hair, even if it is low or medium heat. It just isn't as noticeable using lower power.
But no, you aren't frying your hair. You are doing minimal heat damage that is easily repaired.
Leave in conditioning is good- continue that, but I suggest that you use a deep conditioning treatment once a week in your hair to prevent your hair from becoming dry or brittle.

hey
it depends. like if your hair is still a little damp in the morning when you wake-up, & you straighten your hair & it makes a sizzle noise, youre damaging your hair.
i suggest blowdrying in the morning & straightening only because you blowdry it better & make it more dry than letting it get soaked up into your already wet pillow.

Is your type of hair straightener the kind where you can straighten it while wet? Those work really well, and don't damage your hair as much. I used that kind the other day because my cousin as one, and my hair doesn't look damaged or fried at all. =)
Just blowdry & straighten it when you get out of the shower, I think that's easier than waking up early every morning to straighten your hair.
