How long is your hair and how often do you use your straighteners?
And do you do anything other to your hair like coloring?

Hi!

My hair is almost to tailbone, and I never straighten is, but I do color parts of it.

My hair is hip length, almost bcl when stretched. I use my straightener for special and formal occasions only. Like, weddings or something similar. Usually 2-3 times a year.
I used to color and bleach my hair for all my life, now I'm letting my natural hair grow.

I haven't used it since it was bsl,and now it's hip...I wonder sometimes how it would look straightened but then, I remember it's not worth the damage.

I never straighten nor heath-curl my hair, but I do bleach it (tough, not all of it and not very often).

My hair is waist length, and I use a straightener on it once a week. I also relax and color my hair as well but at during times in the month. Like, one week I will relax. Then, the next 2 weeks I will color.

Calf-length

Never (don't own any)

Nope.

You're in the wrong place if you assume we all own straighteners :p but anyway, welcome to posting here :)

Knee length, don’t straighten anymore. I used to before I chopped my hair back to a bob and haven’t since then. I’m too chicken to dye and I wouldn’t be able to take the upkeep, anyways.

Hip + right now and I flat iron my hair about once a month. I don't bleach or color at all.

My hair is calf length and I don't own a hair straightener. It would just massacre my hair. I am growing out dye though.

Welcome! :)

My hair is closing in on knee and I don't own a straightener. But I do dye my hair with henna and indigo :)

Hello and welcome!
I own a straightener, hair is nearing BSL, and have used it twice since Jan 2018 haha. Once to curl once I finally got some length in late 2018, once a few months back to straighten. It's definitely not a common occurence... Heat is a no go for my hair to stay healthy.

My hair is almost at BSL and I haven't touched my straightener in years. Sometimes I use a blowdryer to make my hair straight, that works much better for me.

I was about to say that. Most people here (and outside in general) encourage you to ditch heat stylers if you want to grow long healthy hair.

Answering the question, I don't have long hair, I have shoulder length hair but I don't use straighteners and don't plan to use one in the future

I have never owned a straightener and wouldn't even know how to use one ; P To get my hair straighter, I dry it wrapped up in a non-twisted bun. I apply henna about every four or six months, though my hair is naturally pretty dark. I do it primarily for the conditioning and for cultural reasons, rather than for color.

I have a straightener but I only use it occasionally for my bangs. My hair is too fine/fragile to handle any heat straightening on the length. I do dye with henna though.
