straighten & heathly hair?
ok well obvisouly when i straighten my hair it kills my hair really really bad. I've tried getting my hair relaxed (like a perm to get my hair straight. if that makes any sense) but that didn't work at all. So does anyone know a good kinda of shampoo that can actually repair hair i've tried pantene but that dosn't really work at all.
Thanks

try the infusium line of hair products. or, at least the infusium 23 leave in conditioner spray. i highly recommend the kind for damaged hair.

Well...the good news is that your straightening your hair did not kill it. Because it was already dead. That's why it's important to take care of your hair. Use a straightener with steam outlets, because it lets unused heat out instead of pushing it into your hair strand. And, when you do relaxers, if you're white, use a childs relaxer because an adult relaxer is too abrasive for white hair. Hot oil treatments can help massively, just make sure you focus on your tips, not your roots. Also, don't wash your hair everyday! It's not healthy for your mane! And make sure you're getting regular trims. When you get split ends and you don't take care of them (ie - trim), they WILL travel up the entire hair shaft causing a frizzy, poofy look that most people mistake for heat damage. Aussies three minute miracle is great for hair restoration, don't use it every day though. And start using Thermasilk (GREAT) at least every other time you wash your hair. It is healthy to switch out shampoos every once in a while because some shampoos get rid of your natural oils that keeps your hair healthy and some of them actually help to preserve those oils!
Good luck!

You need to do some deep conditioning treatments on your hair. The best stuff I ever found was St. Ives Hair Repair. It came in a small pump bottle. However, I have been unable to find it lately, so I don't know if they even make it anymore. If you see it, though, try it- it's good stuff.
I also tried John Frieda deep conditioning treatment. The link below shows you what it is and what it looks like. I found it to be the next best thing to the St. Ives.
By the way- my hair has been seriously damaged from years of chemical treatments. It has been dry, brittle, and dull. The products I recommend did well for my hair, and I'm sure they may help you as well.

Before I blowdry my hair, I spray this thing called Ion for heat protection. You can get it at Sally's Beauty and it's only $6. You can also get any heat protection sprays that prevent damange. Just make sure you use it everytime you straighten, blowdry or curl your hair and it will help.
