something is very wrong with my hair.. i think it's because I've been blow drying my hair frequently without using any protection(coz I dont know what heat protectionproduct to use). So, now my hair is frizzy...very dry.. and the worst part is.. it's splitting ( i think coz I dont really know what it is) ... but not at the ends ... so, I dont really know what to do... If it's just split ends then I dont mind cutting my hair... but the problem is it's not at the end..what should I do?

Hi Emilia!For years I have been blowing my loose curls straight! In that time, I believe that I tried every heat protectant out there--here's what I learned! No matter what kind of product you use--from Pantene to Aveda-- NO product is going to stand up to the HOT heat of a sizzling blowdryer day after day. Although I have learned to love my curls in their natural state (texture is IN), when I do blowdry now, I use a regular conditioner (ARTec Smoothing) and leave it in. I understand about that dry feeling all the way up the hair shaft--when I blowdry mine still feels like that. You can give ARTec's Moisture Pac a shot--it worked great for me! However, my best advice is to give up the blower (if you can)--cause I can gaurantee that even if you trim your hair-- the problem will not go away! Good Luck!Sherry
