Uncontrolled Hair Fall
The biggest con of straightening your hair with chemicals is hair fall. Chemicals like sodium hydroxide, guanidine hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, and ammonium thioglycolate are incredibly damaging to hair. Some compounds used for draining cleaning products contain hazardous chemicals and should be treated with utmost cauthion.
Hair Becomes Brittle
Your hair is likely to become brittle towards the end as it grows. It's rough to the touch and will definitely not be something you were looking forward to.
Hair Will Be Thinner
Chemically treated hair is always less supple and thin. The chemicals that break the hair's bonds make it weaker and less dense. It will fall flat on your head, and you might miss your natural volume of hair.
It Won't Look Natural
It will be challenging to cut your hair as it will grow in length, due to the reduced thickness. It will be poker straight and shiny but it won’t look like natural straight hair.
Some Things Can Go Wrong
The slightest mistake could ruin your appearance if it goes wrong. Make sure you take the help of a professional to straighten your hair. The strong chemicals could burn your hair strands and inflict permanent damage if you are not careful.
It Will Make Your Hair Dry
The chemicals strip your hair's moisture, making your hair too dry and thin. If you still want to straighten your hair, you have to go beyond the means to hydrate the strands and keep your scalp healthy.
There Will Be No Bounce
Your hair will begin to lose its bounce eventually. Straight hair can appear pretty in certain hairstyles, but you'll generally notice less spring and hair that doesn't appear natural.
To ensure your hair is not a mess after straightening, you should ask for the products and study the ingredients. Be sure to look over the labels, and if a name sounds unfamiliar to you, seek an expert's advice and don't purchase the product without doing some study.
