It's great that you're trying to stop straightening your hair so muchMake sure you wash your hair at most every other dayThis means you'll only have to straighten it every other day too! I'd recommend wearing your hair in different styles too, where you won't need to straighten itFor example, try a side bun, or a messy bunBuy some cute hair accessories such as flowers, bows, or headbands to spruce it up Finally, you need a good deep conditionerAussie 3 Minute Miracle is supposed to work well, but it's cheap ($4), so I'm sure more expensive brands are betterTry a Nexxus or Redken product, and use it once a week I've also heard that olive oil work wonders and coconut oil is even betterCoat your hair in the oil, and then cover it in aluminum foil or syran wrap and blow-dry it for 10 minutesThe heat actually helps the the oil coat each strand so it absorbsThen wash hair with shampoo- you may need a little extra to rinse out the oilThis treatment can be used once every 2 weeksNone of these treatments are miracle workers, but they may help hydrate your hair someRemember to keep getting trims every 6 weeksWhen you get it trimmed, make sure to tell your stylist about your damaged hair and ask her opinionHer advice would be your best bet, since she knows your hair personally and is an expert in hairGood luck! -Kay
