Which is worse for hair: straightening hair everyday or washing hair everyday?

answers1: For some people it can be really bad for their hair,
depending on how dry or oily their scalp is on a daily basis, the more
oilier the hair, the more necessary it is for someone to wash it
daily. It also depends on certain shampoo and conditioner someone
would be using, if it was ill fitted for their hair or not. If your
hair does seem to be getting damaged after some time of straightening
it everyday, you could always use a heat protectant or a leave in
conditioner before straightening to help moisturize it more (if you
already haven't).
answers2: Both are bad for the hair as both dry the hair. Although
shampooing your hair daily is bad, you use conditioner to restore the
oil that was stripped out of your hair. However, straightening your
hair daily is worse. this can damage your hair.
answers3: straightening. I've always washed my hair everyday, and only
straightened when I go to the hair dresser. My hair looks fine. I
use a spray in conditioner a couple times a week in addition to a
high quality conditioner that rinses.
answers4: Both are bad for the hair as both dry the hair. Although
shampooing your hair daily is bad, you use conditioner to restore the
oil that was stripped out of your hair. However, straightening your
hair daily is worse. this can damage your hair.
answers5: Straightening. My stylist told me that washing my hair
everyday isn't too bad. I have to wash my hair everyday it gets too
oily.
answers6: I would say straightening, because it burns your hair and
after awhile your hair will be very dry. Washing your hair everyday
isnt that bad, your cleaning your keeping your head clean and your
hair looking good, besides some people have to wash their hair
everyday
answers7: straightening because it burns the hair.
answers8: If you are using an inexpensive shampoo and conditioner [I
wont mention any names ] they are high detergent products I consider
bad shampoos which can cause shampoo damage,which is
dryness,frizziness,brittle,split and breaking hair. The same kind of
damage that flat ironing every day can cause. So they are equally as
damaging, sorry
answers9: I'd say the straightening everyday....
answers10: If you are using a good shampoo and conditioner, but a
cheap straightener, then the straightener, without a doubt. If you are
using cheap shampoo and conditioner and a cheap straightener, then
you're beating your hair up pretty badly. If you are using cheap
shampoo and conditioner, but a really really good straightener that
isnt burning your hair, then the washing every day. I know that a lot
of people are on this whole "no washing" kick, but seriously, some
people need to wash every day. If I dont, not only does my hair look
greasy, I know it, I swear I can smell it and my self-confidence is
zero. None of these things are attractive. Good shampoo is worth the
money if you have great hair.
