Will using a hair straightener/iron too often cause permanent damage to your hair? If so, will it grow back?

I recently bought a Sedu Hair Straightening Iron and have been using it for about a month every week or so. At first, I loved it because I got stick straight hair and it was shiny and healthy-looking. I turned the heat pretty high and you could hear the iron sizzle as it made contact with my hair (is that a bad thing?). Now I've noticed my hair at the front seems to be thinning or it doesn't seem as dense as it used to be. I know using a hair iron too much will damage your hair. I want to know if I stop using the hair iron for a certain time, will my hair grow back? Or is the damage permanent?! Please tell me no! Thanks!Will using a hair straightener/iron too often cause permanent damage to your hair? If so, will it grow back?
using the iron does damage the hair but it's never permanent. your hair is always growing and thus you're always getting a hair cut to get rid of this frizzy, split ends. Don't worry. If you want to improve it use a better conditioner to protect against the heat and keep your hair moisturized. If you want to, you can even take a break from the iron a few months and blow dry your hair. it won't be stick straight but you can at least put it in cute updos to hide it. a few months should give your hair time to grow out that damaged hair and have a full head of shine.Will using a hair straightener/iron too often cause permanent damage to your hair?

Well I always use a flat iron because my hair just would look horrible without it but I know people who have had bad experience with flat irons. It really depends on your hair and how strong it is. Some hair can't take the heat and will immediately dry up and look really damaged. My friend's mom's hair was like that and she ended up cutting off most of her hair and it grew back fresh and new lol. But i dont think you want to do that.
Your hair will grow back. Never turn a hair appliance on high ever. Even if your hair doesn,t burn ,heat drys out your hair and you could end up with a bad case of the frizzies,anyways. The best hair appliances that iron out hair are ceramic plated ones. Trying not to use your straightener too often,just once a week or so is good, just like you,ve been doing.
it depends on how high you put it on and sorta how much you damaged it.and if you use lots of shampoo everyday then your hair might grow faster and back but shampooing your hair everday isn't heathy for your hair cauz it's still needs the fresh vitiam form the air
The iron sizzles probably because you're using it after you shower, and your hair isn't completely dry yet. Straightening your hair too much can burn it, and will definitely give you split ends. It can also thin out your hair.
if you use a straightner too much it will cause split ends, you should try spraying in some product before you straighten, try CHI Iron Guard it will protect your hair from the extreme heat. the sizzling that you hear is probably wetness or moisture in your hair
It would depend on how much you damaged it.
it does damage your hair
It should. Are you using a good treatment with your iron? You must use it. They make special stuff for it. Any time you hear a sizzle...you are take moisture out of your hair. Are you using it on wet hair. Never use any iron on wet hair. Now if your using a product, and not letting it dry, then that may be the sizzle, but if your not, then what you are hearing, is moisture coming out of your hair. After time, that causes hair breakage, which isn't good. Turn it down on the lowest setting, to straighten, and don't let it set on your hair. Go at a steady pace downward.
