Are hair straightening treatments actually worth it?

Are hair straightening treatments actually worth it?


#Hairstraightening treatments are a heavy chemical process wherein chemicals are applied on hair to break the bonds and turn the curls to get poker straight hair. However, do you know that if not done properly and at a good salon, hair straightening can cause serious damage to your hair?

Side effects
*Chemically treated hair needs proper care. If you fail to follow the instructions given by your hair expert post straightening, you will experience excessive dryness. Dry hair tends to be more brittle and starts looking frizzy even if you have straightened the hair only a few weeks back.

* Chemicals applied during straightening should not touch the scalp and roots as it touches the scalp it can lead to itchy scalp, dandruff, redness and rashes are common.

* Frequent touch-ups and hair straightening treatments can lead to damage of hair follicles leading to hair fall.

* Greying of hair is also one side effect of chemical treatment especially if the products used are spurious.

Hair loss and dryness increase if you use chemical relaxers on already damaged scalp or unhealthy chemically treated hair. Speak to your stylist in detail about the pros and cons of the treatment before opting for it.

Think about these side effects before you choose hair straightening.
