my hair looks horrible not straightened so i straighten it everyday!!it takes forever.what should i do to help my hair???
It's great that you know straightening causes damageFirst, make sure you wash your hair at most every other dayIt might seem like this would make your hair oily, but it actually makes it less oily because washing your hair encourages extra oils to come outIf you only wash every other day, 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 upYou can sleep with it in braids or buns and you will get pretty wavy hair in the morningFinally, 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 weekI'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
