Answer #1

Hi,

Yes, flat irons can damage your hair. Constant use of heat on the hair is tough on the hair. You should limit your use to about one time a week, and if not, use a protectant and/or reduce the heat that you have the iron on while using it.

Answer #2

yes but theres a shampoo for it its called mane and tail i think you can get it at wal-mart you can you use on your hair or your pets hair thats why its called mane and tail

hope this helps
