I'm gonna give it to you straight: No, straightening you hair is not healthy.

Frequently straightening your hair can be damaging to the hair follicles, causing them

to dry out or become brittle.

Below is something I found on the internet:

  1. Effects
  2. Hair straighteners damage hair by thinning the hair shaft and drying out the hair, causing breakage. Any heat is damaging to hair, and using a hair straightener is no worse than using a curling iron, hot rollers or any other heat-based styling device. If you are experiencing breakage, split ends or thinning hair from using a hair straightener, decrease your use to every other day or once a week, and use a deep conditioner while showering to keep hair from getting brittle and breaking off.

Hair ironing can damage your hair especially at the tips. Little hairs can break off and make your hair a lot thinner. If you're really unlucky you might even lose all of your hair!
