Peeps answered Sunday August 10 2008, 10:26 pm: I read in a book (like a guide to vitamins and stuff) about an ingredient in some shampoos and conditioners that is really important to look for.
It was called panthenol. It is suppose to be the B5 pro-vitamin and helps to strengthen the hair by filling in damaged areas, leading to less breakage and a smoother feel. It is suppose to help retain moisture (helping to keep it shiny) and thicken hair strands as well. Look for all hair products containing this.
In addition, the book I was reading suggested finding a leave-in conditioner that had panthenol in it (some are even labeled on the front of the bottle) to help repair the hair follicles. The book claimed that this was the best method to repairing damaged hair and, if used properly for an extended period of time, would eventually "heal" the hair completely. Some brands have special leave-in products that also help against heat styling so you may want to check them out.
In addition to leave-in conditioners, there are also shampoos and regular conditioners especially made for people who use a lot of heat-styling products. I have some super duper great shampoo from Charles Worthington called Results Moisture Seal (it says, "Revitalizes dry, damaged, brittle hair with re-hydration, gloss, and protection from heat-styling.") that helps to protect against heat.
So, if I were you, I'd head to the store and look for some products containing this--a lot of times the things you are looking for are right on the front of the bottle. Remember to pick up a good leave-in conditioner with it as well. A good leave-in conditioner is your friend! In addition, always use products that help protect against heat styling products (like blowdriers, curling irons, and straighteners) to help prevent more damage being done.
