the heat of the iron causes your ends to break, normally called split ends. the split ends keep the hair from growing and staying healthy. that's why it is good to get a trim once a month to keep the damage hair away and allow your hair to grow healthy. so when you straighten it and it gets damaged because of the heat's is best for you to get a trim.

Straightening your hair everyday with a hot iron will just lead to washing your hair more often because it gets more oily the more you straighten it.

Also the more you straighten your hair, the more likely you will be to get split ends. Use a straightning protector blam, cream or spray to protect your hair from the high heat of dtraightners and blow drying

It depends what kind of products. Any kind of wet product will cause your hair to burn. Try a heat protector serum. This is not real wet, it will protect your hair from heat damage.

If you want to use other products, such as moose, apply them either to the hair while it is still wet and let your hair dry, or apply other products, such as hairspray, after you are done straightening.

Straightening it every once in a while is ok, but straightening it everyday for say 2 weeks will make your hair develop split ends. If you only straighten once in a while, and trim your hair everymonth, your hair should stay healthy.
