Here you go!

How often do you straighten your hair? In the winter once a week. In the spring and fall every other week. In the summer time hardly at all.

How many products do you use to straighten your hair? A leave-in conditioner once I'm ready to rollerset, CHI heat protectant once I'm flatironing it, and avocado oil or sheabutter on my ends once my hair is done.

What heat protectant do you use? CHI or RUSK

How do you maintain your straight hair without having to reapply heat to it? By rollersetting it first. I never blow dry my hair straight. At night I do a "doobie" by bobby pinning my hair around if I want a straight look. Or I do a high "pineapple" ponytail to add body & waves to my straight hair. If I use sheabutter or avocado butter to my hair every night and every morning my straight hair will last at least 7 days.

Do you suffer heat damage and split end? Not at all. I do regular search & destroys and I notice more split ends when I leave my hair in its curly state too long. Mostly because I tend to be better at at protective styling when my hair is straight. At night I get lazy when my hair is curly.

How many products do you use to straighten your hair? I'm still testing products out but so far Paul Mitchell's Smoothing Super Skinny Serum and Relaxing Balm is a staple. My hairdress uses it too.

How do you maintain your straight hair without having to reapply heat to it? I wrap my hair at night, which gives me 1-2 extra days without heat...if I don't work out

My texture did get slightly looser towrd the ends due to me straightening much more regualrly in the past....excessive splits are avoided through regular search and destroys.
