Hi hair geeks
Ok, I'm a nail geek and not trained in hair at all, but i need your advice.
I have "virgin" hair if that makes sense (eg I've never had a chemical treatment). I have long curly hair, and lately my hairdresser has been straightening it with the GHD's. I'm rubbish at doing it myself and my hairdresser charges £5 to do it which I think is a very reasonable price, but I cant afford to have it done more than once a week at the moment. Every time I wash my hair and the curls come back I'm really sad until I can get it straightened again, and so I'm seriously considering having it chemically straightened. I've been told that an afro carribean hairdressers would be the best place to go for this (I did enquire on this site a while ago and was told about Wella Strate but my hairdresser doesnt do it).
Anyway, I am also changing my hair colour soon. I will be starting with black lowlights, and gradually increasing them so that my hair is black, I prefer to do this than have the shock of going from one colour to another in one go.
My question is: will it damage my hair if I have it straightened and have it dyed aswell? I dont want to because its in fab condition, and I am more keen to have it dyed than straightened and so if it would cause damage I will just stick with the GHD's.
Thanks guys!
