Which is worse: pounding on styling products or using a heated hair straightener?

I would say the hair straightener. When you use your straightener, make sure that you put enough hair product on your hair to form a barrier between your hair, and the straightener. The only problem with the products is that your hair may become greasy, and oily, and it may look wet, or oily or greasy or all three! Good luck!Which is worse: pounding on styling products or using a heated hair straightener?

Both are drying to your hair. Most heavy styling products to straighten hair that are effective contain alcohol. Heated hair straighteners do the same. My daughter has found that if she uses the anti-frizz curl relaxers on occasion with a hair dryer set on cool or low, she can get ';wavy'; hair instead of curly, and they seem to be cream based and fairly gentle.





You are going to do a lot of damage either way if you do it daily. You may decide that if you must have straight hair, it's easier to go to a salon and have them professionally straighten it.





Otherwise, consider a new cut that compliments the hair texture you were born with! There are some fabulous cuts for people with curly hair - and lots of places online where you can upload your photo to ';try them out'; on yourself.

A straightening iron or something like that makes your ends split even sooner and more severely. My sister uses hers almost everyday and her ends looked so bad!!! I on the other hand used Sprunch spray almost everyday for a while and nothing happened. But if you constantly use products in your hair it might strip out the natural oils. Take a break from hair products every once in awhile.
styling products, because they damage the chemicals in your hair. a straightener only effects the structure of your hair. but its still not a good idea to straighten your hair all the time. you need to let the structure turn back to normal sometime or other.

hair straighteners are worse, because products just wash out, but the frazzled bits on your hair don't!
Heat. (straightner) Especially a blow dryer you get fried hair and split ends
