Hello- (dis) advantages depends on what the person is in search of when they want their hair styled a certain way. It also depends on the meaning of straightening, as there is permanent straightening (relaxers), demi-permanent straightening (keratin treatments), and temporary straightening (blowdrying and/or smoothing/flat-irons.) advantages of relaxers: hair is permanently straight but the new growth/roots will be normal when they grow out. You can have different styling options. Hair is shinier due to a more smooth cuticle. Disadvantages of relaxers: you can not have extremely light highlights or the hair will break or melt. You are breaking down the bonds of the hair, thus altering the integrity of the hair. Excess relaxing or overlapping the relaxer on previously relaxed hair can cause extreme damage and drying to the hair and scalp. Advantages of keratin treatments: hair can be worn both curly and straight while both styles remain smooth and frizz free. You can still have extremely light highlights, and the keratin treatment will actually repair the hair. If you decide that you don't want straight hair anymore, the treatment will typically only last up to 3 months. The keratin treatment will strengthen the hair, make it more shiny, and if applied over color it will make the color last longer. There are no disadvantages in receiving a keratin treatment. Advantages of blow-drying and thermal tools: temporarily smooths the hair until the next time you shampoo. Gives shine to the hair as well as body. Gives you alternatives on how to accomplish different styles. Disadvantages of blow-drying and thermal tools: you should apply products to the hair that are thermal protectants. This means, if you do not use hair products then blow-drying and thermal tools can dry out the hair making it dull and weak. Excess heat without thermal protectant products may cause your hair color to lighten. Will take more of your time to get ready in the morning.
