Could you answer my hair question?
What is the best flat iron for hair, and do you need to replace them ever?
I have had mine for about 3 years and I use it everyday. I bought it from my stylist, but my hair is so dry and split, and I am trying to figure out why. I get it cut it regularly, I take hair vitamins, I use stylist shampoo and conditioner and I get conditioning treatments every 6 weeks... but my hair is just so unhealthy. Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

Your hair is very prone 2 heat damange hun.
Sorry to break it to you but even the best ceramic flat iron will mess up your hair.
But i can give you a plan to get healthy hair.
1.)PUSH aside all heat elements for your hair. INCLUDING ur iron.
2.)Keep taking those vitamins, and using decent shampoos & conditioners, but eating foods with protein and iron help a lot more. THey help keep hair strong and silky. (such as eggplant and fish)
3.)Get 1 inch trims each month, your hair will become thicker and no more split ends… watch strength grow as well.
4.)Get some leave in conditioner after washing your hair, this will maintain atleast 8hour deep conditioning werever you go.
5.)Once you main healthy looking hair, try looking forward to natural looks without heat, llike using moisture inriched mouse to have a nice look.. instead of damanging heat!
hope it helped!
Bottom Line: give your hair a break, use healthy natural products… and leave the heat alone for a while! a few trims here and there would be great too!

I’d say you use a lot on your hair, and all it needs is a break. the best thing to do is try and leave it, don’t use heat on it, no styling products, just regular shampoo and condtioner. If you do too much to it, it can have a reverse effect and all these chemicals and heat makes it worse. The very best thing to do-which would be quite difficult- would be to leave it completely, don’t wash it, and eventually is starts washing itself. when it becomes more healthy then you can go back to washing, but stay clear of all unnatural products. But you could also wash it with rainwater, this is very healthy, natural.
My recommended treatments would be phyto intensive hair mask – wonderful! left my hair feeling great.
