How often do you use heat on your hair? ------------- DiamondPrincess

very rarely-maybe 1 to 2 times a year. Unless i am deep conditioning and use heat to aid that process. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

Once a week on my own, and whenever I visit the hairdresser, which currently is about four times a year. ------------- Make every day you have count, before the time comes for you to count every day you have. |

I have only used heat once within the last 9 months. Not sure if I will use it again anytime soon. ------------- Natural BC May 9, 2004 |

Dang that's good only twice a YEAR...man I use heat everytime I wash (every other week in the winter and every week in the summer)...I know that's bad, but I can't help myself. I 'm growing my relaxer out and I have two different textures of hair and no product can keep my new growth as smooth and straight as my relaxed hair without heat. If anyone have any suggestion for eliminating heat completely, please help. I'd greatly appreciate it. -------------

It depends sometimes once a month and other times once a week. But when I do it once a week I don't totally dry it just to get most of the water out. I use the curling iron like twice a month or twice a week. Same for the flat iron. I go through periods of playing with my hair and then not so much. ------------- Type: 3c/4a Natural Current Length: 6" Goal: Healthy, tip of nose /neck/shoulder length hair. BC: 02/08/06 |

I usually use heat once a week, but strangely enough, I haven't had any of the breakage problems associated with it. If I don't use it, I experience breakage but I usually wear low stress styles during the whole week. I'm starting to try the wash and go but when you have THICK tresses it can be hard. ------------- http://public.fotki.com/Honeydoo pw: bombay |

I usually flat iron and blow dry once a week or once every two weeks. I try not to use heat (especially irons) more than once a week although I do ocassionally... ------------- -Happy Hair Days Kim |
