The smell of burning hair is so horrible, the nose can detect it at as little as 0.002 ppbs so you would easily know by smell if hair is burning. In fact the smell is so strong, the Israeli army is trying it as a non-toxic riot control agent that is safer then tear gas.

(Despite many claims of tear gas being non-toxic truthfully it is mildly toxic as some people have died from it and that it forms cyanide in the liver)

Another way you can tell if you burned your hair is that it will look like you crimped your hair... It happend to me once, it took forever to grow it out, cuz there was nothing i could do about it, it just looked like i crimped my hair... one of the most awful times of my life!

It doesn't always have to smell. If you find tiny, curled hairs that are in your hair and look burnt, then you've burnt your hair. Run your fingers through your hair after straightening it. If some straight strands of hair come out, that's normal. But if there's some burnt-feeling tiny hairs coming out, that's not good and you should discontinue using a straightener since your hair is so fine and thin.

the smeel is one way to know if it is burning you hair and the other ones are that your hair are like sticking to the straigner that only happens if you have hairspary in you hair or mousse gel an d other porducts

adice: wash hair blow dry them and then use a straiging spary that makes your hair straight like the herbal essense one (danousyly straight) anad straigtnen you hair if you hair are already kind of straight then just turn your straigners power down like at what power your straigtning you hair at hop that helps

The fact is you don't know!!!

I had fairly long hair ( for Afro hair) and it was in good condition but I started to straighten it everyday.....not a good idea!

By the end of the year my hair was shorter not longer and the hair was different lengths. So I decided to go for a funky shorter length that didn't need to be straightened...... as much.

But I decided I was too much of a straightener addict and decided to go for extensions and straighten them instead, at least I don't feel guilty and damage my hair.

My advice if you have Afro hair, straighten your hair as LITTLE as possible

I agree with clinique try to avoid straightening it as much as possible and I use a ceramic curling Iron. I saw a girl use a gold plated curling set and burn her hair to the point the entire section of curled hair broke clear off onto the curlers. The burnt hair was singed beyond recognition and the smell was horrible. When i straighten my hair with a ceramic curling iron because I sue a heat protective sheen and conditioner it acutally smells great and doesnt sizzle when it touches my hair. Try CHI ceramic irons as well as their heat protective products And yes Chi products and Irons are good for African American hair.( I love chi)
