hi there, I also had my hair chemically straightened about 2years ago. OMG it just about ruined my hair. I ended up getting it cut. The beautician melted my hair. I have curly fine hair and it looked ridiculous.  I now have found this shampoo and conditioner called mixed chicks it is awesome. I have never liked my hair, but now its easier to tolerate. my hair always looks dried out even when it is healthy but this new hair stuff is the best I have ever used. And believe me I have spent lots and lots of money on products. That chemical straightner is horrible. I am not a beautician but i experienced the same thing as you. nasty. I have found that i have to accept what was given to me and thats curly hair. write back if you want jesseann

If you want healthy hair again, you are going to have to start from scratch.  I had to cut my hair when I embraced my curly hair.  Stay away from chemical relaxers.  They kill your hair.  If you want straight then just flat iron it.  It is temporary but safer.  HTH.  If not just ask some more questions.

I had this happen years ago, use a really good conditioner and don't blow dry it!  Leave in the conditioner for 15 20 minutes.  I can't remember what else I did but maybe others will post some ideas.

Hope this helpsStar
love those curls
