The Queen of Curls answers your questions

Q: I have kinky coily hair that I would like to straighten sometimes. I’m aware that all forms of heat are damaging so I am hoping that you could tell me the least damaging; flat ironing or blowing drying.

A: Blow drying is the least damaging because flat irons use a lot of pressure with heat so they cause more damage to the hair more. I suggest using a round brush with a blow dryer on medium heat.

    Roller setting would be the least damaging way of loosening curls or straightening, and the results would probably last a week.

    Oh! I use a blow dryer and a flat iron on my hair is that bad? I don’t want to have it so damaged that the only remedy is taking my hair scissors to it.
