The best thing to do is to stop using your flat iron and definately don't put any chemicals on it. Deep condition and give your hair a break.

i think you are doing all you can by using serum etc., maybe try using the straighteners before they get to their hottest point - that could possibly help. also try extra conditioner.

My hair is destroyed from straightening!!!!!!! HELP?

Get a decent trim every 6 weeks. Use a moisturizing conditioner.. AG hair balm is good. Also use a leave in conditioner.

Chemically straightened hair? Not a good idea. Its trashes it, strips it all of moisture and you will end up with serious breakage and split ends.

Also, get a good straightener and use it on a low setting.

i found that the heat protection is the problem try a smoothing creme instead and turn down the heat on the flat iron the other day i also fried off some hair and now i have like this cat fuzz looking thing on my baby hairs lol

My hair is destroyed from straightening!!!!!!! HELP?

well the best thing is to give your hair a break from straightening.. so you cud stop straightening your hair sometimes like in the weekend or something... and like i dont know if it's right but i've realized from straightening my hair that less hair falls when you straighten your hair when it's wet.. however when it's wet then it is harder to get really curly hair like mine dead straight...but yeh i guess if you use a lot of serum it helps and maybe you cud use a shampoo that repairs your hair and all.. cuz it does help with me

You need to give it and oil and protein treatment. A salon will sell what you need or go to the chemist. The stylist in the salon will advise you as to which is the best treatment.

After you shampoo, use Tigi Bed Head Chocolate Head, leave it in your hair 3 to 4 minutes. Rinse it out and then condition as usual. It replenishes proteins in your hair. It works wonders and smells like chocolate cake batter...I love it!

My hair is destroyed from straightening!!!!!!! HELP?

you need to give your hair a break.

i used to straigten hair all the time, and really damaged my hair. and lost a lot of hair too.

i stopped straigning for 4 months now. my hair is less frizz and softer.

and i apply cocunut oil 1x week to moisture the hair (that has been lost from straigning) and also to add shine and softness to it.

and strighten hair in special occasions, and nice sunny days where you want to look your best.

If you have hair like mine, where a single rain falls on my hair it goes all frizzy, No point straightning it in rainy weather.

What else can you do? You can stop abusing your hair and learn to appreciate it as it grows.

Invest in some scarves and hats as you learn to work with your hair.

I suggest Massey's book "Curly Girl" as a beginning.

My hair is destroyed from straightening!!!!!!! HELP?

Ok thats good you use the heat protection and serum but you need to put extra at the ends of your hair too. Also, when you straighten.. the bottom of your hair is weaker so you don't need to put to much heat on them. First you need to go over your top part of your hair. From the scalp to the middle of your hair. It helps it straighten with less heat tours the ends. Then go over the hair again (right after you just went over the scalp-middle area) but, this time from scalp to ends.. I will help a lot. Also you need to get scalp treatments.. You can get it done at a salon or buy a home scalp treatment/ conditioning treatment. Also, getting your hair cut once or ever other month will him your hair from breaking. I hope I helped ya out...

My hair is destroyed from straightening!!!!!!! HELP?

Hmmmm...you're never going to get it back to the way it used to be. I would recommend some intensive hair conditioners. I have weak hair and what I do is buy a hair mask and put it in my hair and then don't rinse it out...just pop on a shower cap (this keeps the heat in, which makes the conditioner work better) and then leave it on for at least an hour. Sometimes...when I've gone crazy with the straighteners one week...I'll leave it on over night.

I would also say that you need to cut back on straightening your hair...try and find your hair's natural style and try to work with that.

My hair is destroyed from straightening!!!!!!! HELP?

Hi, There could be loads of reasons for this, Be prepared for quite a long answer, but it will be worth reading in the end. lol

Here goes,

First things first, go and get all the dead ends cut off. and then do the following,

I had this problem a long time ago, and no matter what shampoo, conditoner I used,and heat protection spray my hair seemed to become very dry and brittle, beacause I had to use my hair straighteners everyday. But all the problem really was was my hair straighteners were not doing my hair any good, even thought they where high heat ones. they just use to snag and pull and really make my hair worse every time i used them and I wasnt using cheap hair straighteners either.

But I switched to GHD and the problem was gone, but I also switched my heat protection spray and shampoo and conditioner.

When you used heated appliances all the time, you need to deep condition with a hair mask up to 3 times a week to keep it in good conditon, and also use a heat protection spray that doesnt coat the hair causing it to snap off more. I found nearly all the heat protection sprays that you can use on damp hair as well as dry hair, left a coating on that when you straighten with your straighteners, it just sizzles and snaps.

So resently I went to visit my hairdresser and she said I need to use INFRATREAT heat protection spray, its quite expensive but i got some and I can really tell the difference in how my hair straightens. I used to use morrisons own, straightening spray, this was good but not as good as the one above recommended by the hairdresser.

Hair serum when used with hair straightners actually damages the hair too so only use it afterwards.

You also need a good shampoo and condioner, I use Aussie Miracle Moist range, and found a big difference in my hair and less breakage, but it might not work for you.

I like tresemme shampoo and conditoner for weak and brittle hair. So if aussie is no good this might be ok.

Now, I dont like the frizz ease range but the hairdresser recommended me this hair masque that she says is better than any salon make. So I went of to tesco and got a pot. Its Firzz Ease Miracoulous Recovery Hair masque for hair that is in contact with heat appliences most of the time.

I tried it once and found my hair to become dead soft and fluffy, So I didnt think it was doing anything. So I used it within a few more days and left it on for 20 mins. like it says. And my hair did feel better and the ends looked 10 times better. I didnt use it last week and the ends are becoming more and more dry again. So I think I will stick to this product, The hairdresser recommends using it everyday. And at least leaving it on for 20mins twice a week.

Also another good products is Meditarreanean Hot oil a new product from avon. You just use it like a hot oil you normally get, but its really good as well for repairing split ends.

So I suppose to keep your hair in tip top condition this is what you will need to to.

Shampoo and condion with a repairing/reconstructing shampoo and conditioner, or in place of your conditoner you can us a hair masque and leave on for 5 mins, as your hair being is being straightend a lot of the time , its ok to use a hair masque in place of condioner.

Then once a twice week, use a different hair masque to the one you use daily or leave the one you use daily on for as long as you can 20mins or over, the hair dresser recommends filling up a hot bath and whilst you are in the bath put the hair mask on and leave it on until your ready to get out of the bath, as the heat from the bath opens the cuticles in the hair and this helps the hair masque to penetrate deeper in to the cuticle. Conditoning your hair loads more.

Then before you dry your hair, put on a leave in conditioner any type and put on your hair serum and then heat protection spray , then dry, however you dry your hair naturally/hairdryer. Dont put the hair serum on again until after you have dried and straightend, and I recommend using supersoft hair serum, not frizz ease, as supersoft repairs split ends unlike frizz ease and doesnt make the hair greasy.

and then proceed to straighten once dry and use the heat protection spray if the one you are using is recommend for use on dry hair. and spray on dry hair before you straighten it.

The best heat protection spray I have used other than INTRATREATis Ice shine by pantene, or the morrisons own.

as anything else just ruins the hair ,I think.

If you start doing this within the week you will notice the difference.

If there is till no inprovement, and you dont use GHD'S it might be worth getting some, as they are loads better than any i have tried and Ive tried loads trust me.

Stop straightening your hair, for one thing!

You're only going to damage it further if you continue doing this.

If you really must have straight hair, then buy a wig from Trendco, who supply many celebs, and wear that while you give your own hair a much needed rest underneath it!

Then, in a few months, go and speak to your hairdresser and ask their advice. But I would be wary of having it straightened chemically, it's not that healthy and remember: whatever you put on your hair, goes through your scalp/skin and straight into your bloodstream.

If you straighten your hair because it's very curly, you should leave it alone - curly hair is gorgeous!
