Almost all women like the look of straight shiny and silky hair. The side effects of permanent hair straightening are many, ranging from something as minor as dullness to something as major as hair loss. Here are some side effects of permanent hair straightening.
- Breakage: Temporary and permanent hair straightening can lead to excessive dryness and it’s safe to say that weakening the structure of your hair becomes more susceptible to breaking from the middle.
- Split ends: Split-ends are usually formed when your weakened hair starts breaking from the middle. Besides being a clear indication of the fragile state of your hair, they also make your tresses look unsightly.
- Hair fall: Applying heat on regular basis damages not only your hair but also the hair follicles. The chemicals used in permanent hair straightening also unleash untold damage to your roots. And your hair starts falling out.
- Dryness: Using heat styling and chemical treatments regularly over a long period can rob your hair of its natural oils and make it extremely dry and brittle.
Permanent hair straightening technically lasts forever. However, you will need to get it straightened again when your roots have visibly grown out, which could take around 6-9 months.
