Heat styling does dry and damage hair, especially if you abuse it day after day. Most people don't flat iron everyday. Once straightened most people go anywhere from 3 days to a week before they wash it and start over.

Make sure you're using professional products on your hair. A good moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, PLUS a good deep treatment that's got some protein and moisture in it to strengthen your hair and help keep it from the flat iron and sun from taking it's toll on your hair! Paul Mitchell has some good ones for color treated hair as well as some intense moisturizers and strengtheners.

Next, you have to make sure you're using a thermal setting spray on your hair before you flat iron. This will help put a protective barrier on your hair and help minimize flat iron damage, plus it will help to resist humidity and help your set to last and add shine in the process.

You have to be diligent about your maintanence if you want your hair to look and be healthy. Trims every 6-8 weeks if your hair is longer or 4-6 weeks if it's shorter. Try to protect your hair while you're in the sun when you can. Bleached hair is already in a weakened condition, and the beating from UV rays can only make the weakened condition worse. In Paul Mitchell's color care line, they do have a spray that has UV protection for your color/bleach. You'd apply that before you apply your mousse or gel or whatever styling product you use before you dry your hair.

Whatever you do, make sure you don't brush your hair when it is wet! That is one of the worse things women do to their hair! It promotes split ends BIG TIME! You're pulling, stretching and snapping hair like crazy because hair is weaker when it is wet, and get's about 33% stronger when it is dry. So save the brushes for when it's dry. Otherwise use a large tooth comb for wet comb outs! Good luck

Curly hair is really cute and I have never understood the female compulsion to mess with their natural look and then spend weeks regretting it. Report It

sounds like it is already damaged a bit. If you don't do it constantly, and keep your hair trimmed and conditioned, it will be fine. Go easy on the bleach, especially in the summer. can really dry our your ends.

Always use a thermal syling agent. It will help protect your hair. Redken Hot Sets is awesome. Your hair will get damaged by the abuse, but not as extreme. All hair if not properly trimmed every 6-8 weeks will get split ends. It is the fact of life.

The damange is more from being bleached - so I woulnd't recommend blow drying and then flat ironing. Also, I would recommend using a product from Avon called Dry End Serum - it's like an oil, but it really protects naturally curly hair from the damage of blow drying and chemical treatment - I"ve used it for years - I used to color but stopped as medications started causing me to lose hair - now I let it be natural, but I still blow dry and flat iron - I just use the extra moisturizing products and it has helped keep my hair healthy.

My hair is naturally curly and naturally blonde, as I stay in the sun alot myself. I wash and condition with Pantene blonde expressions and towel dry my hair very well and let it finish drying naturally (if your not in a hurry) (no hair dryer on my hair).

After, I straight iron it (ceramic plates recommened) and it comes out really soft.

My straightner also has a comb attachment that helps keep the hair straight as it's being straightened (if that made any sense).

I also don't put any other styling products in my hair (hairspray or mousse, gel, etc...)

I also periodically condition with Suave coconut conditioner (something about the coconut that moisturizes the hair).

since youre gonna flat iron your hair anyway, dont bother blowdrying it and just let it dry naturally, then put in someg hair grease or pressing grease and flat iron your hair, try to use heat styling products also and dont wash your hair for a few days to a week so that youre not overworking your hair.
