[quote=Anonymous]I have straightened (flat-ironed) my hair every day or every other day for the past fourteen years, starting when I was 14 as well. After puberty my hair turned into a frizzy, voluminous, semi-curly/wavy mess. I have tried various haircuts and products; it simply looks wild and unkempt if I don't. That said, my stylists are shocked whenever I tell them this because I have very healthy hair. Here is what your DD needs to do to keep her hair healthy:

1) Use moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner (I use Loreal Everpure and Organix Keratin)
2) Use a product to protect your hair from the heat. There are a lot out there; she'll have to experiment with what works best based on her hair texture and scalp type.
3) Make sure your hair is completely, totally dry before flat ironing. Otherwise you are scalding your hair follicle with hot water.
4) Use a high-quality flat iron. GHD is my favorite. You don't need one with temp settings; going over one section of hair on high heat is better than going over it with lower heat a bunch of times.
5) Get frequent haircuts (at least every 10 weeks) to minimize split end damage.
6) NO HAIR COLORING! It will make the hair drier and more damaged.

Good luck to her![/quote]
