I have dark brown curly hair, I love it straight but my hair is getting fried and has so many split ends and I'm losing some of my hair any good ways to restore it? Also, I want to dye my hair blonde but I don't want to fry it again, any dyes that work good on curly hair?
LM answered Tuesday July 17 2007, 2:07 pm: Trim the ends, and use mosturizing shampoo and conditioner [or a color-safe shampoo and a mositurizing conditioner]. As for dyes, it doesn't matter if your hair is curly or not, but blow-dry your hair wavy/straight the day you dye it- it's easier to dye ALL of your hair. I use Garnier 100% Color, and my hair's almost black. Leave the dye on 10 minutes longer than it says to. Oh, and blonde is a really drastic change from dark brown. Dye your hair a light to medium brown first, that maybe light enough for you. Your hair might not turn blonde in one step, you may need two boxes of dye, bleaching [which will DESTROY your hair] or to have it done in a salon. Like I said, try the lighter brown first. It may be enough. [ LM's advice column | Ask LM A Question ]

For the being fried part, stop using your straightning iron for a while. You might be unhappy with the curl, but you have to let it recover before you use anymore heat on it. Wash it with a shampoo that is specially for damaged hair. You can find this kind of shampoo anywhere, any store.
Also, Tresemme has a line of hair cair products that work with heat and also protect against the damage that can be caused by the heat. It's like a spray or mouse or something you put in your hair before you straighten it.
