you need to get your ends trimmed. Go to a local beauty school and get a trim and talk to them about what products to use.

Always make sure your hair is as dry as possible before styling. I find leave-in conditioner with Jojoba oil is excellent for giving your hair extra strength and keeping it soft. Most good hair product companies make shampoos and conditioners designed to strengthen treated hair, but if you can%26#039;t find one try products for colour treated hair. Since your hair is now chemically straighter you can turn down the heat when using a hairdryer or straighteners. If you want to avoid breakage from heat you can also let your hair dry naturally overnight or use cold air with the hairdryer. Last but not least why not ask your stylist? No doubt if they relaxed your hair for you they can recommend a product to help protect it. Good Luck
Reply:hair that has been chemically altered in any way has had certain bonds broekn down in order to acheive the new shape. This often leads to a lack of protein and moisture in the hair. An imbalance of the 2 can make hair feel dry and/or brittle. As for your ends, the only way to get rid of them would be a trim. I would then impart some form of moisture and protein into the hair, comcentrating on the ends. Redken extreme line does a really good job with this. Try the anti snap. Very little heat styling, as this could damage the ends worse. A product designed to bring back damaged ends is the joico split end mender. Really good stuff, fairly light and smells good. Just remember, moisture and protein!!
