Oh! I must have forgotten to answer this one. First of all Loose the conair flat iron. That is what is killing your hair. You need a professional ceramic iron. Get either a Sedu or Solia from folica.com.
As far as hair products try Redken, they work great. You can try the all soft line, or the smooth down line. They both work great. You can look at my post on the straight talk forum under "the fight agains humidity". I listed all the products that I use as well as my hair regimen. You will see by the response that people loved it, and it really worked great on them. Always use Redken heat glide when using a flat iron. It works great and will protect your hair from the heat.
Well the one I posted on the fight against humidity is to wear your hair straight often. However, if you wear your hair curly most of the time, I can tell you what to use to make them look frizz free and beautifull. Get Matrix Shampoo and Conditioner. The "Sleek" line, it comes in the orange bottles. Wash and condition your hair, and as a leave in use Bed Head Curls Rock. That should be enough to give you beautiful, smooth, frizz free curls. If you find that it is not enough (which I doubt) then put in some Sebastian Potion 9, before putting in the Bead Head Curls Rock.
Try it, you won't be sorry. I saw your picture. I got the advice I just gave you from a girl with hair just like yours. She walked into work one day with this beautifull head of amazing curls. I asked her how she got them that way, and she gave me the above recipe.
Much love, Shary

Her texture is really thick and and kind of coarse. And she has tons of hair. Did you see that picture Sugarcube posted of her hair? Well is like that. From your pic I can tell you have softer, lighter curls, so I can understand the sleek line weighting you down. The sebastian potion 9 is great, but you do have watch the amoung if your hair is fine or if you don't blow dry. Otherwise you can get either really oily hair, or really crunchy hair. But the product itselft if used properly works great and only has one cone, which is good for people who worry about that. For people with thick curly and/or dry hair it works perfect, and really helps tame the hair down. I rarely wear my hair curly (usually only one week out of the month, to give my hair a break from the heat) So the Sebastian works great as a leave in for me, because I blow dry and flat iron. Eventhough I only do it twice a week.
If the Matrix Curly line works for you, then I say stick with. If you are looking to try something new, then you could try Redken bodyfull or Redken water rush. They both condition great without weighting your hair down or flatening your curls. Always remember to scrunch your curls to give them extra body.
And if there's anything else I need to know or do...please let me know!
1. Trimming doesnt grow your hair.
2. Dont use hair brushes for now use combs.
3. moisturise twice daily at least the dry ends of your hair.
4. Dont use shampoo conditioners.
5.wash and condition your hair 3 times a week but be careful about what you use, read up on ingredients and always use shampoo for dry damaged/ processed hair.
Finally its not that your hair isnt growing fast enough ist just that it is breaking at the ends and spliting. If your hair is breaking almost as fast as its growin you wont get healthy growth.
Also your choice of styling like flat irons if used everyday will wreck your hair. If poss think of another hairstyle you can have whilst growing it out.
Good luck
( I get most of my advice from Cathy Howse and other books you may get good counsel off one)
