How often should I wash and heat style my hair?
Oct 31, 2009 Author: Style Chex | Filed under: StyleI wash my hair twice a week and I heat style every time I wash. I have thick curly hair I am half black. But I am also very active so my hair tends to get frizzy from the sweat. I have a ghd styler and I use heat protection.
I also put hairspray in my hair it makes it feel weird. I don’t want my hair to feel dry. It looks worse and feels drier a day or 2 after straighten it but the day i straighten it looks smooth.

I would say wash your hair about twice a week like you do but also use a hot oil treatment on your hair once a week also. You can also use a chemical straightener to help cut down on the need to use the heat on your hair. As long as its a very gentle and moisturizing formula. My mother has hair that is similar to afro American hair (she is native American) and I usually take care of her hair. I use this:

I also recommend the leave in treatments and conditioners from this brand.
Hope that helps you
i think that if you want to straighten your hair do it every day then when you want a different style wash it then heat style it.
if you use heat protection it’s no problem to do it more than 2 times a week, i style my hair everyday and my hairdresser says my hair is in good condition.
every 2-3 days you should wash your hair to keep it clean & healthy, and natural oils that your hair & scalp produce are good too! this is why if your wash your hair everyday your not actually benefiting.
for the frizzy hair- this is common often caused by over use of hair Straighteners.
I’d suggest buying a conditioner (any brand really, cheap ones work just the same, cheap ones are used in top salons)
wash your hair with shampoo and rinse…
leave the conditioner in for about 20 mins… then rinse…
it will leave your hair soft, tangle-free… and will reduce the frizzyness…
and go easy on the heat styling!
