What I do is when I take my shower I wash my hair first, Then once thats done I put conditioner on and leave it in my hair until I wash the rest of my body. Then I'll rinse my body first and leave the conditioner until last. The conditioner is usually on my hair for about 3-4 minutes until I rinse it. That way its like a deep conditioning everyday :) Before I blow dry or straighten my hair I use Tresemme heat defense spray. It doesn't help me from getting split ends, But it leaves my hair soft and shiney and can wait until I make my next visit to the hair dressers :P I also blow dry and straighten my hair every day, So I know what your going through!

However, I have recently started straightening my hair since it's cut shorter at the moment, and what you said about blow-drying every day and straightening every other day struck me. Since that may be one of the biggest reasons for your fried hair, I suggest you look into a wet-to-dry straightening iron. That's what I use, and I really like it. It does take a little time to get your hair dry with it [and mine's really fine, so I suspect it'll take you a bit longer], but it does dry and straighten at the same time. The package also boasts that it's much better for your hair than blow drying AND straightening [since it takes a step out], so it's convenient as well as good for your hair. I know a lot of different brands make them, and I got one at Target for something like $20-$30. HTH! I never do anything to my hair, so I haven’t had any of these problems.

Get some good products- shampoo, conditioner, mask, treatment, etc. Forget your hair dryer and flat iron for awhile. I know that's hard, but the fact is the heat will damage your hair no matter what you put on it. The heat/thermal protecting creams can only do so much. Let it be for a month or so, and in the meantime you can keep your hair in check with smoothing creams and maybe putting it up while it dries, so it doesnt dry as frizzy. Also it looks like you wash everyday. If you absolutely have to, shampoo only your scalp/roots, the suds washing down the rest of your hair is enough for the length, without drying it out too much. All of the above comes from personal experience. Right now I use baby oil for my hair, just the length of it. Its cheap and it works. Never blowdry, haven't flatironed in over 6 months.I've got hair down to my bum :p Get a trim for the split ends, or a chop, whichever is better.

I've yet to find anything better to my hair than their shampoo and conditioner - and I've tried pretty much everything. On that note, their shampoo and conditioner with regular use really do help to keep hair soft and silky. I absolutely adore Redken’s All Soft line.

Just be careful with it, because it's extremely heavy. Also, like someone else mentioned, try using a thermal protecting cream/spray/etc. if you blow dry or use heat on your hair often.
