I haven't had my hair this short since i was 9. It just touches my shoulders, and there's still some highlight damage at the bottom. I got the highlights professionally done, but I spent too much time in the sun and pool, and that ruined my hair. What can i do about the "straw" effect that i have at the tips of my hair?

Chlorine and color just don't mix and never will on your hair.....I would cut all the damage off.....until then, the best new product out is called S factor by TIGI....smoothing conditioner , shines and re-hydrates. Another fabulous product is made by Pureology. I also have L'Oreal Professionnel called intense repair. I am sure you can get at many salons or online. I do all of the above you mentioned except get in a pool with chlorine. Good luck.....no fun to have unhealthy hair...I know

The first thing you need to do is use a good conditioner and then use a leave in conditioner just on the ends before you dry your hair.
The next thing you need to do is to keep getting your hair trimmed every four to six weeks until all the dead ends are grown off.
Then you should look at purchasing what is called a "hair mask". This can be purchased anywhere, even at Walmart, and use on your hair when you are at home just hanging out. It will begin to look better in a matter of a couple of weeks.

1. eat healthy foods; omega 3 fatty acids (cold water fish)
2. eat protein (nuts, meat, etc.)
3. deep condition at least once a week
4. shampoo 2-3 times a week (shampoo strips hair if natural oils)
5. drink 6-8 glasses of water a day
6. use oil on the ends
7. buy a good leave in conitioner
8. dont heat style with silicone products in your hair

i have naturally curly hair, and it is always dry. I would use deep conditioner every other day. Let it sit in your hair for at least a 1/2 hour. Do this for about a week. After that, just make sure that you keep up wh/ regular conditioning.

The same happened to me. I went back to natural. I am taking vitamins. One is multi vitamins and the other is vitamins for the hair, nails and skin. I go to walmart and buy the vitamins. You can also drink water and eat a lot of protien. Eat healthy. Trim your hair every 6 weeks.

Just trim it. And ask for a special hair care.

Put a non permanent color on that matches your color and it should make it look good. Then you may have to have it cut when that washes out. But, it will give you some time. good luch.
