so my hair is pretty damaged;;
14.f.freshman
my hair is damaged from straightening it. the thing is i don't know what slse i can do. naturally my hair isn't wavy or straight. it's just poofy, like it goes straight then poofs out. so i cannot leave it like that. i scrunch it sometimes, but i can't do that everyday. i've tried blowdrying it straight but it doesn't work too well and makes my hair frizzy. so, any hair ideas that don't involve straightening? i'm willing to try anything! i have hair just a tiny bit below my shoulders and i clip my bangs back always because i got them straight across and they don't look good, i could possibly do bangs though. thanks for any advice!! :D

Everytime you try to blowdry it straight, or use a straightener, you are just making it worse and worse. I suggest you deep-condition your hair once a month (try Redken All Soft Heavy Cream, it works really well). Just follow the directions on the bottle. I also suggest that you STOP using any irons for a while, and then once the Redken has healed your hair, use Sunsilk Hydra TLC ([Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). Here's some more tips:

To repair your hair, try this.
Get it trimed, this will give the appearence that it looks better then it is. When hair gets too damaged, the ends look dead and refuse to straighten or coporate.
Use a mosturizing shampoo. Aussie has some, Sunsilk has a great one (its pink), Garnier has some but I don't care for theirs much. Use a hydrating shampoo also. If you continue to straighten your hair often, use a 3-minute deep conditioning treatment or a masque. My favorite is the Aussie 3 Minute Deep Down Conditioning Treatment, it makes my hair so soft and smells awesome!
You can continue to straighten your hair ONLY if you use a heat protectant and deep condition frequently. I personally like either John Frieda Thermal Protection (orange bottle) or Vo5 Mirical Mist heat protection. Both work great, I know CHI has a protectant too.
As for other styles, try messy buns. When I go to school I really don't care how my hair looks, but thats just me. So if I don't want to damage my hair I just throw it up in a cute, messy bun leaving my hair texture to be natural. Sometimes I like to do a semi-low pony tail leaving my bangs out and tying it very loosely. I usually secure it a little less then halfway down the back of my head. Its classy but simple.
Good Luck<3
