Straightening hair-BAD?!?

I know it's not excatly good, but I REALLY badly need to buy a straightener for home use. Even a hairdryer with a concentrator and diffuser!! But the same priciple applies...My parents won't let me and they won't compromise or anything. I tried using my money but...STILL.

My hair isn't ultra frizzy or whatever, it's just that I need it sometimes. Does anyone have any idea what I should do?

How long is your hair?! I recently learned by experience that If I put my hair back in a clip it straightens itself out... doesn't matter if it's wet or dry. Of course this probably doesn't work if your hair is extremely curly. I have waves that decide on their own when they want to go nuts. ;) This could solve the problem naturally, and you don't have to worry about damaging your hair with heat or chemicals.

My hair is in the mids of a graduated bob...not sure If I want to make a new cut, or grow it... Oh the agony. ;) So at it's length right now, putting it back in a hair clip ties back all my hair straight and forces it to naturally straighten.

Hopefully this will help... if not... maybe it'll help someone else. Hah!

Any blowdryer, straightner, curling iron, etc, WILL damage your hair. Heat is not good for your hair at ALL. There is no magic straightner or tool you can use on a blowdryer to decrease the damage done to your hair if you use them.

If you want your hair healthy, I advise you NOT to use any tool that produces heat on your hair. But if you MUST use one, be sure to get a very good straightner, one with ceramic plates. Do NOT buy a cheap one.

If you do end up using heating products on your hair, I also advise you to go to a salon or beauty supply store and consulting with one of the employees on which products would be best to apply to your hair before using a straighter, blowdryer, etc, to help prevent damage.

Good luck and I hope this helped.
