Dear Hairlaloo,
Help me. I was ironing my hair while looking at my laptop’s screen and enjoying reading how to lose weight articles, and suddenly my hair was smoking. My hair is grossly burnt but my problem now is I don’t want to cut more than an inch off it, what should I do?

I am panicking! Reply soon.

Dear R,
You might want to get hair extensions and blend the burnt hair in with the healthy looking hair. But I extremely recommend cutting it because it will grow quicker that way.

If you have the money, go to a hair salon and ask for a professional opinion and tell them you need a protein conditioning treatment. The process consists of washing your hair, applying the treatment, putting you under the dryer, and rinsing you out. If the burn is really serious, you need to do a treatment at least once a week for one month. You should see a change right away and keep it up. Good luck
