    Can I get hair loss from straightening my hair every day?
    Community Answer
    Straightening your hair does damage it to some degree, and that can increase the chances of hair loss via breakage. It should not increase the chances of entire hairs falling out with the roots, unless you pull on your hair hard when straightening or actually straighten at the roots.
