My hair wont get healthy?

I used to have long, beautiful dark brown hair that I loved. I straightened it almost everyday for a year or two then decided to cut it right about my shoulders. I continued to straighten my hair, and it got so damaged! Ever since then (2 years ago) I cannot get my hair back to how beautiful it used to be. I am trying to grow it back out but it is so damaged that it wont. It looks brittle and unhealthy at the ends.

I have been getting trims to remove breakage, but it all just comes back. And the weird part is, I'm avoiding my straightener. At the most, I use it once a week and occasionally I use a blow-dryer. Why is my hair STILL so damaged? How can I bring the shine, the smoothness and the LENGTH back?

I just want LONG healthy-looking hair!! Tips please

It's going to take awhile. The breakage and split ends are clear in the middle of you hair and hair grows only 1/2" a month. So the bad part in the middle is still breaking. So you are doing a good job by getting it trimmed up, but the middle part is still growing out and splitting. Try finding a salon that offers the "Chemistry System". This puts protein and shine and softness back in your hair. You can only do this once a month. And remember when you straighten, to use a good thermal protectant spray everytime. And also, diet has a lot to do with how your hair behaves, believe it or not. Hope this helps!

The only way to have it back 100% is letting it grow, but if you continue using your straightener so much it's just going to stay the same.. I would really not use the straightener or try to rarely use it.. Also, when using the blow dryer, if you cant cut that out completely either, try setting the temperature to warm instead of hot or high, it will still dry your hair and produce less damage... After you use warm, go to the lowest setting where it is colder or lower, this will settle your hair and have it 'freak out' less because switching between the hot and cold conditions between the shower, hair dryer, outside, etc, will frizz your hair more and leave your ends less protected.... Also, use a leave-in-conditioner to keep hair moist, it will protect it more during the colder seasons..

I used to have the same problem with my hair ALWAYS dry and breaking. I tried Dove shampoo and conditioner and my hair looks great now. I could see a difference in just a few days. It can be used daily. I had already tried many other types of shampoo and conditioner, even ones my hairdresser had. She couldn't figure out what was happening either and my diet was good. your diet does have alot to do with how your hair looks. Try Dove and I'd also go to a salon and get some deep conditioning treatments like the other person said.
