Answer 1

Just keep your hair CURLY !!!!!!!     Everyone I know practically has straight hair and i have curly hair!!! i hate being like everyone else!!!!!!!!!!!

FACE THE FACTS AND BE WHO U ARE!!!!!!!!!!!! and you probably look better with curly hair!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Lay of the iron and any other heat products,buy a hair mask i personally use this olive oil stuff you can get at a hair salon green bottles..cant miss it :p

buy the entire set its a little pricey but definitely worth it you'll probably be able to tell a difference within a week.

Answer 3

A hot oil treatment could probably help. You can buy it at a drugstore or a walmart or hair store. My hair was terrible and it helped alot. Also deep conditioning!  

Answer 4

Trim the dead ends off. It's the only way to truly get rid of them.

Answer 5

well if you want your healthy hair back STOP USING YOUR STRAIGHTNER, there's this sort of shampoo that makes your hair straight though I don' t know what it is, and use conditioner, I use catwalk by tigi hair conditioner, you put it on scrub your hair with it for like 5 minutes and after your shower don't forget to leave some in a little that's what I do and my hair is really healthy. and I do use the straightner just not as much as you. and if you don't want to stop using your straightner this is what i do:

I use it during the weekdays and on the weekends i let my hair go natural and what you call "relax" and put it in a hair clip cause I hate seeing it down and curly. so yeah. and my hair is healthy lilke i said, but I still recomend to use a conditioner and leave it in a bit.  

Answer 6

So Straighten it so much and wash it every 2 days.

Answer 7

try this for damaged hair:

-Home remedy for damaged hair: cover the hair with mayonnaise, sleep with it throughout the night and wash in the morning.

-Mix honey and eggs and put on hair for 10 minuets, then wash.

Take one egg:

-Separate the egg yolk from the whites.

Whip out the whites.

Mix some water with the yolk and put in the blender until its smooth.

Add the whipped whites.

Wash hair with hot water and apply the mixture on hair.

Massage and wash with cold water.

-Mix: 300mm coconut oil, 100mm simmondsia chinensis oil, 20mm Rosemary oil, a few drops of vitamin E. Refrigerate the mixture for 1 hour. Smear on hair, massage and wash with herbal tea or warm water.

-Grind 3 carrots and put in a jar. Add some olive oil, refrigerate for 3 weeks, strain and use as a hair mask.

-Mix: Olive oil, honey, egg yolk, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Smear on the scalp, massage, wait for 15 minutes and rinse with cold water.

good luck, maybe you should try a lower setting on your straightner too, and try paul mitchell smoothing super skinny serum. smells like green apples. good luck with it all. hope it helps

Answer 8

my hair is just like yours and i use olive oil mayo and eggs as a hair mask and then wash off with little shampoo and alot of conditioner, always leave in some conditioner and never brush your hair when its wet. also braiding the hair helps so much!

avoid straightening the hair everyday, what you have to do is straighten the hair once a week and WRAP your hair.Use large bobby pins to wrap hair around your scalp because if you use the tight small ones then youll get marks in your hair. when your finished tie the hair with a bandana =)

Answer 9

I had that problem too. But my whole summer vacation I left my hair untouched. Now it seems to have gone back to its healthy state.

Thats all it takes, you just have to leave it alone so it can restore itself.  

Answer 10

I'd really recommend ditching the Pantene shampoo (or any other shampoo/conditioner combination found a drug store) and upgrade to a "designer" shampoo, such as Bumble & Bumble.  Bumble & Bumble has a product called Creme de Coco shampoo, conditioner and mask.  The shampoo alone is amazing.  It bubbles nicely and gently cleanses the hair without stripping it of it's natural oils.  Also, it smells good.  

I recommend trying the hair masque.  It's a great product that will help to bring back some additional moisture into your hair that you've really lost from straightening your hair so much.  If you're going to straighten your hair, only limit it to twice a week if any.  Too much is overkill.

Answer 11

Don't straighten everyday..Use a GOOD Curl defrizzer and put it in your hair, and let it go natural..Don't use any heat or chemicals, and get a deep conditioner, and make sure you go in for a trim every 4-6 weeks...and DON'T use Pantene..It has wax in it, that just coats your hair, and gives you build up...Use a good PROFESSIONAL Product(Try matrix Sleek look, It helps tame Frizz.)
