Due to many years of straightening and coloring my hair I have very dry damaged hair.would cutting all the damaged hair off be my best bet to go with to make my hair look better?I'm tired of being unhappy with my hair.any suggestions?

You need to get the split ends cut off and then I would use Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. I actually leave it on all day when I don't have to leave the house and my hair is really bad.

I was just in the same boat as you!
In an effort to get my hair back to "normal", I opted to color it one more time - this time dark. I also cut it one length to my shoulders. I decided to let it grow and not color it, and limit it's exposure to heat in an effort to get it healthy.
I could tell a huge difference. I also began taking a multi-vitamin and taking vitamin e everyday.
I have only been on this regimen for a month or so and can tell a difference. I hate having short hair, and I hate not being blonde - but I do love that my hair is soft and silky again.
Plus, it's in such good shape now, I can get highlights in about a month - just in time for warm weather.
Good luck!

Go to the salon and get you some "DEEP FUEL TREATMENT" by redken. There are like 5 tubes in a box.. This can be left on or rinsed out.. when I would get of the shower I would get all the excess water out of my hair by blotting it with a towel then apply this.. Use a shower cap and sleep in this treatment.. also get you some gloss drops/silk drops to use and a protectant while you blowdry and hot tool your hair.. these are to be left in.. Works wonders I tell ya' :)
