    Hi Ramya,

    Well I am using Choba with a ceramic plate.The ceramic plate protects your hair from getting burnt.
    Well I use it whenever I need to ,like for a party .Maybe once a month but I have also repeated it on a couple of occasions fortnightly.

    Love,
    Devika

    Re: Usage of Hair Straightener!!

    I have thick, curly hair and I recently purchased a 'Sedu' straightening iron. It is fantastic and I love it. I use it once a week or once a fortnight and I don't seem to have any adverse effects with it. Just make sure that 1) your hair is dry before using the iron, 2) don't iron close to the hair roots 3) use a heat/thermal protectant cream or gel before using the striaghtener.

    Re: Usage of Hair Straightener!!

    I recently bought a Revlon straightning iron with ceramic plates and have used it a few times.Though I do think that my hair has become drier but I havent experienced any hair loss(yet!)

    But I dont think even a little hair loss will stop me from using it as I love the look of straight hair on me.I have wavy hair and though I love it too,its too thick for me to let loose and this becomes possible with straight hair.

    Re: Usage of Hair Straightener!!

    After reading all the replies,i think now i can go for a hair straightener.Even i love a smooth and straight hair but always wondered that the hair would be damaged with the use of a straightener.. With a bit of care i think i can go for it now.
