I've been straightening my hair almost everyday since school started (horrible, I know..) and since it's winter and extra dry, my hair's been dry too. I have always had long, thick hair and now I just noticed yesterday how THIN it's getting!! Last week I started noticing I was getting those little pieces of hair that stick out all over on the top of my head. When I brush my hair, pieces of hair fall off and break off my head and seriously my sink and floor have hair all over them. I use this --> [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum. I am trying to only limit my hair straightening to one or two times a week. What should I do about the damage already!! I've always had long thick beautiful hair and parts are already looking gross and fried. UGH PLEASE HELP.
Additional info, added Monday January 7 2008, 9:47 pm: When I last got my haircut it was dry then, but not as bad as now and that was less than 2 months ago... she recommended BIOSILK? But what product would work best??. Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category? Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles? _wishes answered Tuesday January 8 2008, 5:16 pm: I would advice you to use a deep conditioning treatment on your hair maybe once a week. The aussie 3minute miracle is literally a miracle!! I fyou cant afford a deep conditioning treatment I would just tell you to leve conditioner on your hair for maybee 30 mins to an hour. It will put the moisture back into your hair as straightening drys it. Every time you wash your hair maybe invest ina leave in conditioner, and seriously before you straighten your hair use a heat protecter which really does protect your hair!!
I love all aussie products as I feel that they really do work, last ages and are great value. I've given you the links to the aussie website and where you can buy it ff line or just see the prices etc
Hope I helped!!! [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

Try not to straighten your hair everyday. The serum you have now works really well in damp hair- after a shower, put a small amount in towel-dried hair and scrunch. If your ends are really dry and split, get a trim ASAP- split ends will only get worse & nothing will fix them. Luckily, many products help prevent them, including the serum. Tresseme makes a good heat protecting spray, and it's really inexpensive. You can get one at the salon too. You'll pay more, though. I think it's in the Fashionista line. Ask whoever cuts your hair; they'll know what I'm talking about & which formula works better with your hair type (there's a spray and a gel-like one). On the days you straighten your hair, try turning the heat down a few levels. The results will more than likely be identical, while less heat = less damage.
sugarplum07 answered Tuesday January 8 2008, 7:48 am: Biosilk is most definitely wonderful for your hair. They have a whole line of products ranging from shampoo to straightening serum. Although, they can be a little on the expensive side. It really depends on your budget.
I highly recommend that you start using shampoo and conditioner with lots of moisturizer in it. Try Herbal Essences moisturizing products. You should also consider hair products that specifically say they protect your hair from heat damage. Thermasilk works good for that purpose.
You can still use that straightening serum if you like it, but remember to put another product on your hair of something that will protect your hair. Use that Biosilk or go look around CVS. Hair products with aloe are really good for your hair too. [ sugarplum07's advice column | Ask sugarplum07 A Question ]
