Is heat damaged hair permanently damaged?

It matters how severely damaged it is. I have extremely curly hair. And I had this patch in the bag that was just frizz, no curl.

It was heat damaged by my iron. I guess it was left unprotected too many times. I didn't want to chop all my hair off, since it was just one patch.

So I changed my shampoo that contained avocado oil and it has been a slow process, but I am starting to notice it repairing itself.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
