i'm trying to find ways to keep my hair smooth without using a straightener anymore because it's giving me split ends and making my hair brittle. in the latest issure of seventeen, it tells you to give yourself a hair blowout. would this do any more damage to my hair than a flat iron? a blowout starts off with putting in lots of styling cream onto wet hair, then blow drying 2" sections of your hair 2-3 times from roots to ends, then applying more cream. i usually flat iron my hair using just a little cream afterwards.

To tell the truth... they're both equally as bad for your hair... both involve intense amounts of heat... but its all in the product you use. I usually blow out my hair once a week after shampooing... but if I want a flat style throughout the week I use a flat iron. I use Panteen Pro-V Daily Moisturizing Lotion on my hair twice daily to protect it from heat styles. Unfortunately, using heat on your hair is a necessity for styling, but if you use the right product, and wash/condition as often as possible, your hair will gradually become healthier.
