Okay; well my hair isnt really curly but its not straight either. It's wavy.. and i hate it like that. So everyday i straighten it. And my hair is now really damaged and i don't know how to make it healthier and still have it straight at the same time .. I've already tried most of the shampoos .. but none of them have really worked yet. Any ideas?

No product is going to make your hair healthy. It has been damaged by heat.

the first thing that would help is if you described how it's damaged, as well as what exactly you do to straighten your hair.  If you post these things I can give you a much more useful answer...cause trust me it's been 8 months since my last hair cut and only now are my ends beginning to split and I use a dryer everytime I wash my hair, so I know how to keep hair looking good and healthy.

It looks like you're going to have to choose. You either learn to live with your curly hair and natural color, or you settle for living with damage.


Just looking for a few good hair slaves - is that too much to ask?

i needed a little more specifics on the straightening, ie. if you blowdry first or you use your straightner on wet hair (btw you shouldn't do that) and whether you use a ceramic straightening iron. Also your budget might help. But ill give it a shot.

Even if you dont do any of the other suggestions, do this: get a trim nothing outragous just enough to get rid of your split ends.

If you have a generous budget get your hair chemically straightened it will hurt your hair but not as much as day to day damage.   

If its more modest try to get a ceramic straightner (its worth the price cause it doesnt damage your hair).  If you can't you can still take steps tp protect your hair.  First get a deep conditioner, the one I like is neutrogena's triple moisture hair mask.  There are srays you can get the you use before you straighten which helps protect the hair from damage and also humidity.  Again i like liquid hair's version the best (find it at salons).  If you take these steps it should help prevent your hair from becoming severely damaged in the future.
