I cut my hair and got bangs about two weeks ago, and since then I have been blow-drying my bangs straight everyday. Yesterday, I guess I got the blow-dryer too close to my hair because now parts of my bangs are burnt! I tried to trim them but some pieces are shorter than others and I really do not want to cut them any shorter. Also, now my bangs are very coarse and not at all soft or silky. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can treat my hair? I am open to buying products or using home remedies.
Thanks for the help!

Heavy conditioning treatments
Add a shiner to the ends (silicone based product)
STOP using heat on your hair every day!! When you do use it, don't use it at such a high heat setting and don't get so close.
Use styling products that include thermal heat protectors to protect from heat damage.
You will need to eventually get these ends trimmed to have healthy hair again.

It's good that your bangs are somewhat even lengths! You don't want a straight blunt cut, do you? Having the slightly uneven lengths gives you texture in your bangs which is a good thing. As for making your bangs silkier, use John Frieda's hair serum. It makes dull hair glossy and healthy looking. It's very affordable too - you can get it at any Rite Aid or Walgreens.

First off try using ion blow dryers and straighteners- they damage hair less- and use a heat tamer spray that prevents heat damage. Also, use a shampoo and conditioner designed for damaged hair. Till your hair grows back you and always take your bangs and using bobby pins pin them in a poof, it'll look cute!

Oh no! That happened to me, but thankfully it was a layer in the back that was underneath all my hair. :P
Well, stop using any heat-related products for now. :P My advice is to condition it a little extra then the rest of your hair. Just give it a break from harsh treatment, and it should be healthy again soon.
EDIT - "You should definitely just get a straightening iron!
They are only about $20.00.
This happened to me also, trust me, striaghters=yes"
Sorry, but I have to disagree. Hair straighteners are known to damage hair more.... It could be different for different people, but...?

Don't use irons or dryers everyday, also use a deep conditioner everytime you shampoo. If possible, let your hair air dry, then use a frizz ease product before the styling tools.

Try Therape shampoo by nexus -its very gentle. And then also i like bumble and bumble deep conditioner.
Also try using 2" hair rollers and just waiting, patiently, while it dries. You'll be surprised how soft the hold is, and it stays nice all day long.
Oh, and hold the dryer further back if you're using it.

You're probably putting the hair-dryer too close. When you dry your hair, pat the hair dry and resist the usual urge to rub your hair as you dry it.
You probably want to switch to a better shampoo as well and make sure you're using a conditioner.

I suggest getting those creams or shampoo and conditioners that treat this kind of thing.
What really keeps your hair healthy is washing it every other day (I know it sounds nasty, but you're really not supposed to wash it everyday as it makes your hair very dry and your drying out your hair's natural oils)

Go to a salon or beauty store like Ulta. Ask someone there to recommend products for damaged hair. It sounds like you could use a really good leave-in conditioning hair mask.
