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.

Both blow drying and flat ironing can cause damage to the hair if done too frequently or at high temperatures.

It is important to use heat protectant products and limit the frequency of both styling methods to minimize damage.
