Will it be ruining my hair - i let it air dry and then sit on mn gently soothingly using my ghds to dry the hair...

leaves it so silky!

My DD14 does it probably every day. Looks great. She says she will worry about shit condition later and then maybe go for a short cut. Only when it's really crap

Have you got normal straighteners or the wet to dry ones? I have the wet to dry and they really sizzle on wet hair!

sad when i actually care what 14 year olds do style wise!

Please tell me you're at least using a good thermal protector prior to ruining straightening?

My hairdryer is broken so I tried that last week with my shit cheap straighteners and it didn't work at all

Dont do it Tarka!
In my experience, in the months to come you will be taking fistfuls of broken hair out of the plughole every time youy wash.

NotAnOtter · 18/03/2009 21:35

oh no.....

i have been wondering why it feels more brittle...could that be it?

(whispers) 'no not used thermo protector'

(even quieter whisper) although i did buy one from the hairdresser but dont like using products they make my hair feel dirty)

bodiddly - which ones do you use? I have babyliss ones which are crapola. I asked my friend who is a ghd expert to try them and she didn't liek them either.
