I broke down and went to a beautician in December who used too much heat on my hair in the past (I had a television interview to do, and I could find no other beauticians with openings in the area). During the four months after I visited her, I was losing handfuls of hair whenever I detangled, even though I haven't had it straightened for almost five months, and I was moisturizing with a heavy conditioner and three different Carol's Daughter products. My ends are so heat damaged that they are a different texture from the rest of my hair. Using coconut oil and Oyin's Whipped Pudding instead of Carol's Daughter seems to have cut the hair loss by at least 75% in the past month, though. (Thank you for the coconut oil info, JC!) <br /><br />Still, I know that when I get my hair straightened on Friday, I'm going to have to cut at least 3 inches off once we are able to assess the damage from that one incident in December. You think I would learn. (Shaking my head) After I wash my curl back in, my hair will remain curly for another three to four months; straightening hair in Mississippi during the summer is a futile affair. <br /><br />As an aside, JC, how much heat is too much heat? What is the upper temperature limit? I've read that the highest you should possibly set a flat iron is 180-200 degrees, and that anything higher than that will cause permanent heat damage. Is this true?jesmimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04174836592888993046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-31274686962930928952009-05-11T23:06:00.000+01:002009-05-11T23:06:00.000+01:00@ chanel

I hav...Hi SweetStar - Yes, high heat is never good. I have not found a good scientific reason to deep condition with heat. Most conditioners simply deposit conditioning agents on the outside of the hair. A few agents will penetrate through the hair shaft but mostly conditioners work on the outside. There are some professional products that require 'heat activation' but for home use, this is rarely the case. <br /><br />I have not researched if deep conditioning with heat is damaging but I would suspect if the heat is high and prolonged, then yes it would probably be. I'll have a look to see if I can find some evidence. <br /><br />Yes all damage to hair is cumulative. You cannot really repair the shaft. You can temporarily fix hair with protein treatments and conditioning, however the damage just can't disappear.Jchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03983132094574128087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356365023823603303.post-25700900441218309172009-05-11T14:10:00.000+01:002009-05-11T14:10:00.000+01:00I flatironed my hair once, on a high heat ( one/2 ...I flatironed my hair once, on a high heat ( one/2 swipes) and my hair never reverted i had to chop.
