    Default What happens if you hair spray your hair with hair spray and then straighten it?

    After the hair spray and setting lotion is dried on the hair, then use a hot curler or straightener?

    I don't understand why you'd hair spray before styling/straightening?

    because some hair strands will get flat and loose after a while.

    There are many effective heat free ways of styling your hair on YouTube. I hope you try them and get good results!

    You'd get hairspray and setting lotion ingredients burned onto your hair. Hairspray is basically misted superglue, and setting lotion more of the same but with oils and silicones as well. Even if you used a heat protectant spray or some such, you'd get any oils frying your hair and any other ingredients burning or melting into the hair.

    I don't mean to be a negative Nelly, but it's probably not a good idea to use styling products before heat setting. If you really have to heat style, the only product you should use before styling is a heat protectant spray. Save the hairspray for after the straightener or curling iron.

    How can I fix this, because I did this on a few sections of hair? and now i'm worried?

    also will this have damaged my hair?

    Usually it makes for crunchy hair. In my experience it doesn't work very well trying to re-style your hair once you have sprayed hair spray on it. It doesn't leave a very good finish. Sometimes you will find a curl won't reset once it has already been heat styled and dropped out without dampening it down and starting again anyways.

    If you've already done it, what's done is done. I wouldn't worry about it too much. Just don't make a habit out of doing it. .

    But how can I fix it, has it caused damage? and how do I remove the spray and lotion from the hair as its now stuck on?

    If it's caused damage, then the damage is done. You can't fix damage. Period.

    You can temporarily make damaged hair behave more nicely so that it doesn't look so bad and so that it doesn't get damaged further by misbehaving, e.g. tangling. Cones would do that. Coconut oil deep treatments might too. Umm... can't think of the rest of the top of my head.
