Try buying the shampoo and creame rinse for straight hair or sleek and smooth. It seems to have something in it that tames the hair down. Maybe that would help. They also have extra conditioning treatments...or even the hot oil treatments. If you just got it cut and still have split ends then you didn't get a good cut. Go to a GOOD hairdresser and get a good cut. It sounds like you've over stressed it. Just wear it back while you are conditioning it and take care of it until it can recover.

french braid it and than sleep with the braids in. this is a crimped look. i'd also change hair dressers

I have had similar hair to yours and when I couldn't get my hair under control, I used to put it up in a high ponytail and use lots of hairspray to keep it looking nice.

Sounds like I have the same hair except no split ends. I straighten mine and I seem to have no problems and I do not see that it is effecting my hair and making it worse. Anyways, I know that you said that gel and mousse don't work but this is what I do and it works pretty good. After I get out of the shower I just comb through my hair and then I instantly put on mousse, to all of my hair. I then put it up in a messy bun and let it sit (like while doing makeup or something). I then take it out and put gel in in it and put it in the style I want. Like when a head band or clips or something. After that put hairspray in your hair and make sure that you use a good amount. It is a lot of product but it looks good through out the day. It does get a little bigger once it drys all the way but it still looks good. It will be a little crunchy but I don't mind plus it smells really good all day. Good luck girl.

Get layers in it so it doesn't poof into a pyramid.



Also, it may be a little costly, but use a deep conditioner each time you wash. Just on the ends only. Blow dry with a diffuser attachment and some leave in conditioner. Some gel will also help to tame it, and the conditioner will reduce the split ends.



I have straight hair, and then the hair at the nape of my neck is dry and curly! It looks so weird sometimes, so while I can leave most of my hair alone, I have to tame that. It's ridiculous.

Unfortunately, you were born with the kind of hair that does need at least some minimal styling every day. (Trust me, I have YOUR hair, too!)



The "easiest" cut for you would be to go super-short, like a tight curly pixie cut. But this requires frequent haircuts and you might not like how it looks.



Next best bet is, with chin- to shoulder-length hair, to use some curl-enhancing spritz or styling gel and blow dry until just slightly damp, using a low setting and scrunching with your fingers while you bend over at the waist. After drying, finger-style your hair (or use a very wide-toothed comb, pick or brush) and finish with a very slight coat of wax or balm barely coating your fingers; run fingers through hair.



Either that or it's back to straightening every day!

Seek a hair salon ASAP.

Curlies should never use shampoo! It contains many drying ingredients and harsh detergents. Curly hair needs moisture because of the twists and turns in the strand. Use a conditioner and just conditioner wash instead. I use V05 moisture milks. You can use an expensive one if you want, but V05 works for me. Just make sure it is a moisturizing conditioner. Deep condition your hair (I do about once a month) with a moisturizing deep conditioner. The reason I am suggestiong these things is because from the sound of it, something you are doing to you hair is causing it to break. Use water (aqua) based products on your hair. Moisture is the key for curly hair, especially in the winter. Use a very modest amount of leave-in conditioner (I like Garnier Fructis Curl and Shine) every day. Try not doing too much to it. The less you do to hair, the better. Go to motowngirl.com for other tips. It is intended primarily for african american women, but there are tips for ANYONE with curly or kinky hair types.

you should try frizz-ease hair serum it works wonders and use deep conditioning conditioner for dry and damaged hair and try a leave in conditioner :) it should do the trick also now on the aisle you buy bottle of hair dye on they now sell just the conditioner they have in the hair dye packages separate from the hair dry thats the best stuff ever for shine, etc :) hope i have been of some help

This may sound odd, but ditch the shampoo and just use a cheap conditioner instead of shampoo, then use a moisturising conditioner afterwards. Conditioner has enough detergent in it to clean your hair without stripping out too much of the natural moisturising oils. Curly hair needs as much moisture as you can give it - and best of all you don't have to worry about your hair looking greasy because everyone presumes you have put hair product in it to help with your curls



Washing your hair too often doesn't help - with curly hair washing it once or twice a week is enough - you can rinse it with water the other times you are in the shower

Im hair dresser so seriously, listen to me...try TRESemme anti break shampoo, and dove moisturizing conditioner. What you need is hair products with lots of added protein in it. Use leave in conditioner after washing your hair. Try not to blow dry, or straighten your hair as much as possible, because it will cause it to dry out even more, and when its dry it splits. Also be very gentle with your hair especialy when brushing, that will also help the split ends. Also you should be useing garnier fructis 3 minute mask at least twice a week. Do all this, and in about a month, you should start noticing a huge differance.

  1. OMG!!!! I have exactly the same problem and as soon as I read it I was like YES!!! Someone understand me. My hair are more ringlets though..and maybe you just had wavy hair. But I use Ion DEEP conditioner for really damaged hair in the shower and Shampoo. Then when I get out I towel dry it lightly just so its not dripping but its still wet. I spray it with Ion leave in conditioner. You can buy it or make your own by mixing uhm... regular condiioner with water and shake it so its a liquid. And the I use ... oh gosh I forget now is called like beyond the zone? Noodle head. It smells like coacoa nut... its strong so if you dont like that flavor... try something else I guess but STOP strightening your hair. I won't lie I do still strighten my hair but I try to leave like... 2 months in between each time... Yea. and only for special days.
    Good luck!!! Oh!!! I cut those ends like every once an a while just to keep them from spliting more!!!
