please HELP! what should i do about my crappy hair?

so my hair is really annoying. whenever i get out of the shower it is out of control. a ton of fly aways and it is all crazy. i literally need to straighten it because if i don't, as i said my hair is bad. i spray on a heat protectant spray, but still, straightening your hair does damage it, i know. even when i do straighten it, it is still bad but better.

i've straightened my hair for about 2-3 years and i don't like my hair. it IS SO crappy.

so my question is, what should i do? if i dont straighten it my hair is terrible, but if i do my hair is just getting damaged. i also have a chi straightener, which i just got and i know it is a better type.

tips and stuff appreciated!

(sorry i am in a hurry so i am typing and having bad grammar and such, so don't freak out)

    You should no straighten it a lot maybe once every three weeks and get a hair cut and cut all the damaged hair off and if you do that it will grow back and be healthier just try not to use heat on it or anything

    hi!

    so guess what...i have extreemely curly, frizzy hair and i used to just let it be that way.

    heres the thing. you say that you straighten it every day. the truth is...that just makes the hair crappier.

    every hair is pretty...you just need to learn what makes it pretty!

    here is the routine i go through every morning:

    1. wake up (obviously)

    2. take a shower. (be sure to wash your hair every morning. i use Real Control shampoo and cond. shampoo it, comb through it, rinse, condition it, comb through and let sit, rinse.)

    3. roughly towel dry it. (don't completely dry it, just scruff it up.)

    4. brush through it.

    5. apply Silk Infusion by Chi into hair. (be sure to do this below your scalp and really get it in your tips)

    6. apply Curl Bounce by Redkin. (you can apply this everywhere)

    7. brush through it all.

    8. scrunch. (be sure to really get the roots and everything)

    9. let it either air dry or use a defuser. (with my hair, the defuser makes it worse. but try it out!)

    10. be BEAUTIFUL!

    I REALLY HOPE THIS WORKS! you can get all of this at Ulta or any other cosmetic store.
