Hair straightener/curler

Does anyone know of a hair straightener/curler that does not damage your hair.
I'm a bit behind the curve with beauty products but I find the natural part of my hair looks great but the blond ballyage part looks as if it's in poor condition.
I'm 60 and have a ballyage to hide the grey without having to deal with roots more than once every 8 weeks.
It looks lovely when it's just been done and then a mess the rest of the time but I really don't want to damage my hair any more. Thanks folks.

All straighteners will damage your hair as they are very hot.
Cloud 9 straighteners you can alter the temp so using it on a low setting would help limit the damage. Make sure you use a heat protector too.
Btw I think your hair looks lovely!

Thank you girlintheframe, it looks like a wild mess when I get up in the morning. Grey hair is wiry and never lies flat unless you blast it to death with a hairdryer or straighteners.

Ghd platinum +, pricey but if you wait till black Friday they put them on a really good offer, they do everything that you have asked for in a straightener. Also i would highly recommend using olaplex to strengthen your hair, every time i use it i feel like I've just left the salon. Also i looooove your hair!

I’d also say ghds, I’m not sure which ones mine are but the straighteners adjust to your hairs needs. The curling tongs are reviewed as causing the least damage. My hair is naturally wavy,

Always make sure you use a real good heat protection spray. This is mine, it needs a brush but I normally straighten the top and just curl the ends, and get this effect.

OP is that your hair in the photo?

Heat styling will damage the ends particularly if they are dyed pink.

I have long coloured hair that's wavy & tend to leave it natural 90% of the time to minimise damage, but will wave it with a ghd for occasions.

I have regular trims though to keep it looking healthy. For example I would say Bluntness needs a couple of inches off (sorry) as hair looks thicker & therefore healthier when the ends are blunter.
