Heat on hair

I'm just curious. I'm letting my hair grow out. I've been taking great care of my hair. I've been letting it grow out and have stop coloring it as well. I had really over worked my hair the past 8 years. I wash it only a few times a week and only use heat on it those times after I wash it. So, my hair only getting heat a few times a week isn't all that bad is it??

Any amount of heat on your hair is bad but, applying a heat protector before helps.

I've messed my hair up pretty bad dying it way too much and obsessively straightening it so I don't use any heat on it anymore

I agree with Debbie. Just because you aren't using heat daily doesn't mean that you aren't harming your hair. As long as you're using a heat protectant and limiting the time/temperature, you're doing your hair a favor, but no heat is best if you can manage.

Thanks ladies. I use heat protectors and such. I know heats bad for hair. I was just wondering if I was still using too much. My natural hair is frizzy curly. It's a lil past shoulder link now but its in layers. Only reason I don't wear it natural now is the layers. I have tons of volume and its afro-ie. At least till its mid back I'll start wearing it natural more. I do go few weeks sometimes with out any heat and just keep my hair pulled back.
