It's been almost three months since I last used any sort of heat on my hair. Kind of wanted to give my dry and damaged hair a break. I have to admit though, it's tough! I see some pictures of beautifully straightened hair and it almost makes me want to run to my flat iron. Just wondering if anybody else here feels my pain!

I'm slowly starting the process of no heat. I've started by not using my blow dryer and just my straightener for now, which I've cut back on using to the days I wash my hair only. I'm pretty lucky though to be able to run my straightener through my hair twice a week and it still stays smooth and not frizzy the days I don't wash.

I have to force myself to do it, too.
I have natural curly hair and since I stay away from the flat iron my curls look even better, although I still have pretty bad split ends from all the damage I did to my hair when I was straightening it :/

Ahh so good to know I'm not alone! I can definitely feel a difference in my hair. There's so much less breakage than there was when I was heat styling every day.

I haven't used heat on my hair in like 4 months. I try to do some heatless hairstyles, like heatless curls, braids and ponytails :)

I used to straighten my hair almost every week.. I have stopped it from almost 4 months now.. I have seen a huge difference. Less breakage, damage , dryness. Also I have cut down on using styling products or serums. Only a little bit of mythic oil. I have definitely seen a big different as my hair growth has also increased.. Esp the frizz has decresed.. Which was such a huge relief. :)

I saw on pinterest once some method using brown sugar to naturally straighten your hair.. however I try not to style my hair at all on days I'm not doing anything important, and I always use argan oil and keratin treatment while my hair is damp. I also use a heat protectanr and I put oils on my ends to somehow help!

I have been heat free for like 6 months and still going strong 💗 I love my curls and am scared to straighten them and ruin my progress.

I used to feel the same way, but I've stopped using heat on my hair or a while now and my hair has never looked so healthy! I don't miss my straightener at all:)
