Can you over-straighten your hair?

I have naturally very curly hair, and one year for Christmas I got a hair straightener. I quickly became an addict, and for the next TWO YEARS I straightened my hair almost every day. I even brought my straightener with me on all overnight trips and vacations.

Then one fine day, I decided to take a break from my beloved straightener. But alas, my curls were gone even without the tools!

For the last two months I haven't touched my hair until it was totally dry, I just let it do it's thing. But my curls STILL haven't come back! I was wondering if there's anything I can possibly do to bring my hair's true identity back? Other than, of course, waiting for my hair to grow out, which would take years?

WOW! Wish that would happen to me! But I know what you mean, bc I used to have really tight curls, and several years ago, I started sort of pulling it straight with my fingers after putting product in it, and the curls would be much much looser, and now it's always like that.

Can you over-straighten your hair?

We can do tremendous damage by using chemical dyes and permanents as well as by simply aiming the blow dryer at our heads every morning. Like being in the sun, all of these self-inflicted abuses destroy the cuticle and leave hair wide open to damage. Pulling hair into tight braids or ponytails can increase that stress and lead to breakage鈥攐r even bald spots. But in addition to being a cue that you need to treat you hair more carefully, unhealthy strands can also be an indicator of an unhealthy diet. Without adequate protein, growing hair strands won鈥檛 become as strong and resilient as they should be. And essential fatty acids (found in fish oil supplements, wild salmon, and flax seeds) may also play a role in keeping strands strong, shiny and healthy. If your diet is lacking in them, try increasing your consumption and see if your hair eats it up! Of course, what you eat can only impact hair that is just starting to grow, so it will be several months before any improvements are evident.
