Try doing a deep conditioning treatment. I straighten my hair everyday too and mine gets dry often and this helps so much! My stylist gave me the steps to do it at home so all you need is 15-20 mins and a bottle of conditioner! E-mail me if you would like the steps! Just go to my answers profile and you can reach me from there!
How do you get them to do it when they have so many distractions? hmmmm. Maybe take away the distractions? One of the principles of parenting is giving your child everything they need to be successful and sometimes all they need to be successful is peace and quiet! If they're unsupervised after school then the only thing you could really do is take the iPads, iPods, laptops, Game Controllers, etc with you when you go to work. These are all privileges that should be earned with good grades anyway - and you can't get good grades without doing your homework. With regards to the phones. When my kids get home, the phones are given to me and put away until homework is done.
Build a big fire and throw a blanket down in the snow. It is one big wow! In a hot tub. On a heavy rug in front of the fireplace. You can think of something when the mood strikes and need arises.
