My friend uses a product called Ojon. She said it has made a big difference in her once damaged hair. And I can attest that her hair has never looked better, like you she uses a straightener on a regular basis. You can get it through QVC, and I am sure you could also find it on eBay.

Conditioners can help a lot, but you need to use the right ones. There are several conditioners in the market that can repair the damage in your hair, namely Garnier Fructis Shine and Sleek, Matrix Sleek Look and Aveda Damage Control. These all do wonders for your hair. However, remember to use the shampoo of the specific line in order to get the best results. Also, look into a serum called Kerastase Oleo-Relax. Two drops of this when your hair is damp and another two drops when your hair is dry not only revives your damaged hair, but it also maintains the moisture in your hair.

Use hair products from places like Trade Secret and Sally Beauty Supply. They are expensive, but the bottles are huge, and if you only use small ammounts (and you should: most products such as shampoos and conditioners are concentrated, and therefore expand when you add water to them) they will last you a very long time, from 6 months to a year, depending on the bottle size. (Also only condition every other day at the most.) Products from drugstores and grocery stores are terribly damaging to your hair...namely Herbal Essences. If you have it, throw it out. I'm serious. It dries out hair very badly, and then the user thinks they need more, so they use more, then it gets worse, and then...yeah. Also, most cheaper shampoos use ingredients used in toilet and window cleaners, such as Comet and Windex.
Try to skip blow drying and straightening AT LEAST one day a week, as the heat is extremely damaging. Just take good care of your hair, and it should be restored to it's original, natural amazing-ness.
Good luck.

I have the same problem. Im going to get mine trimmed soon though, even though i will probably cry when i see my hair on the floor! I love my long hair. Im currently using pantene restorative shampoo and I have noticed it is a lot shinier than it was. It is still frizzy and has tons of splits so i use that garnier smoothing milk on it and i find it straightens it pretty well. Anything is better than using a hair straightener that thing will totally ruin your hair!

conditioners definitely do help. If it's just dry, try sunsilk, and get the pink. I use it and it's amazing. the stuff you put on just to leave on works very well.
one of my friends has never had damaged hair, but she takes such good care of it, once a week she washes her hair with whole milk. another thing i've heard works really well is an avacado. you could probably search for a recipe, but avacados have so much fat in them, that it would make your hair really soft.
dove also has good products. try tostay away from hair sprays and gels. if you do use them, don't spray on a lot.

i have the same problem!
what i did is use sunsilk. because your hair is damaged, you'd need the pink bottle. use both the shampoo and conditioner.
as a leave-in conditioner, i use sunsilk's "hydra tlc" (also pink)
because the leave-in conditioner is so thick, i put it on my damp hair in VERY small amounts (less than a drop)
after applying the leave-in conditioner, i straighten my hair. the sunsilk is like a protective barrier against the heat or something! your hair will litterally drink this stuff!

without utilising specific hair care products, it particularly is going to likely be extra complicated. Given the restrict of merely utilising regular shampoo & conditioner, do this. a million. thoroughly moist your hair 2. Use a large variety of shampoo and get suds throughout your hair 3. permit suds soak into your hair for an quite long term 4. Rinse suds away The good judgment is this. because of the fact the suds from the shampoo soak into the hair, it particularly is going to restore what harm it could. by leaving the shampoo on longer, you're giving extra time for the shampoo to artwork.

Unfortunately conditioners only mask the problem. You will probably need to at least trim the ends.
