Ok, I'm a 15 year old bloke who's trying to grow long hair and I
straighten my hair everyday, and I think I may have some problems.
What I use:
Dove Strengthening Shampoo, Loreal Protection Cream, pair of cheap
Remington's straighteners. When washing in the evening I use Dove
Intense Care.
Now, I may be getting a Straightening Perm, will this affect growth at
all? I've been told today that my hair was brittle, so I fear my
current activicty may be very bad. What do you recommend?
Thanks.

condition, condition, condition, and finally CONDITION!!!!!
i cant stress this enough. what i do to my hair (and my hair is fried
by chemical damage from bleach and from thermal damage.) is shampoo
with Matrix Curl Life shampoo. condition with Redken Extreme
conditioner. protein treatments once a week with Aphogee Intensive
Keratin Reconstructor and deep moisture masks after the protein
treatments with Tigi Dumb blonde.
every item i just mentioned can be bought at your local salon, witht he
exception of the Aphogee treatment. that can only be found at your
local Sally Beauty Supply. (edited to add: i didnt notice that you were
in the uk till after i posted. the only place i know of to have a Sally
Beauty in the UK is in londons Picidally Circus.)
o and while you are at sally's pick up a good (well, better than
remmington) flat iron (what you referred to as a "straightener") i use
a Jilbere de Paris Porcelain Series flatiron in 1/2" plate width.
depending on the length of your hair you could increase the width of
the plates (the part that gets hot)
good luck, and i hope all goes well for you
