john freda has a great product- 3 days straight, it does what it says and keeps your hair really straight so u will have to straighten your hair less, creating less damage. make sure when you do straighten your hair that your using a heat protectant to protect it. when washing your hair use a shampoo that will help strengthen your hair- there are lots on the market, then use a deep conditioner- i recommend aussies 3 minute miracle, this will help your hair a lot, then after you have washed it use argon oil as it strengthens and softens your hair. then lastly take hair vitamins to help grow your hair.
hope this helps:)

Make sure you use heat protectant every time before you straighten it! If you wash it once a day, try washing it once every other day instead because then it will contain natural oils that it needs. Also, when I wanted to grow my hair I used olive/vegetable oil just at the roots of my hair 4 times a week and it really helps with growing. Hope this helps!

Hey. Im of African heritage so I have very curly hair so please trust me on this!
STOP STRAIGHTENING IT!
I'm sorry but seriously it will eventually forever be straight but really straw like and nasty and damaged, not properly straight ever.
I always leave conditioner in my hair, the cheapest types of products too. Also use anti frizz serum from twiggi
And scrunch salt water through it when you get out the shower
AND USE ARGAN OIL
All this will keep it healthy and curly but not SO curly!
Also use this recipe for growth purposes:
Mix up a tablespoon of olive oil with lemon juice. Add a tablespoon of water and apply to your hair. Leave for 10 minutes then rinse. It stimulates growth!
Finally, you can go to a hairdressers and get a Brazillian Blow Dry. This heavily conditions your hair and will loosen the curl without damaging it, in fact it helps it and prevents frizz and stuff. However it's like 100 but will last for a really long time!!!!
Hope this helps! Trust me, I hate my hair too but really please don't straighten it every day! 🙂 xx

Try the "WEM" shampoo. Its AMAZING! Its not even a shampoo. But it cleanes, condition at the same time. You can use it everyday. Makes your hair very healthy. I love it!
My cousin, like you, has very very curly hair and she too straightens it everytime she showers because it doesn't suit her. She has had her hair relaxed with the brazilian blow out and it did work but it is damaging. She said the morocan oil, that you can purchased from walmart, works really well and has the same effect as the blowout.
Just keep using heat protectant surems and hair masks that you can also purchase from walmart. Also, you can buy hot oil treatment that you can use at home to keep your hair healthy. "VO5" is a really nice hot oil treatment.
