i have a lot of breakage and my hair just wont grow i would really like some length but i hear that you have to have healthy strong hair to promote length. Do you have any suggestions for strong, long healthy hair, with shine ? Also preferably a product that i can buy at a drugstore or target or something. AND ALSO I DONT WANT TO DECREASE THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I STRAIGHTEN MY HAIR!!! Is there a product that will work even if i still straighten my hair a lot?

maybe you should professionally straighten it .
[it'll stay straight for around 3 months for like 80 bucks i think]
then add fructis hair sleek and shine to it .
it smells and works really good .

once the damage is done there is really no reversing it. i would suggest going to get a cut/trim (i know you don't want to, but honestly your hair will grow a lot better if you do). once you get all the dead off, invest in some pre-straightening cream. if you go onto folica.com they have this stuff called FHI hot sauce and it works wonders.

to get rid of your current split ends, you will need to get a trim at your hairdressers. although this will make your hair slightly shorter, it will be better in the long run.
i would recommend using a hair conditioning mask once a week. it deep conditions your hair. you could even do it twice a week if you felt it necessary. also, try using a small amount of leave-in conditioner in the ends of your hair. you should notice that your hair becomes much softer, and feels healthier if you do these things. split ends will also be less noticable.
before you blow dry or straighten, put some kind of heat protection on your hair. there are many products that would work for this- you can get heat protection sprays, straightening creams, but my personal favourite is serum. as well as temporarily sealing your split ends, serum will also help to keep your hair straighter for longer, and make it shiny. it is a bit on the expensive side for a small bottle of it, but really you only need very little for every time you come out the shower (apply to damp hair) so it lasts for ages!
this might sound like a lot to do, but the heat your hair is subjected to with straightening will cause damage is you dont look after your hair properly.
if you feel you still need more advice, ask your hairdresser for tips next time you are in. they will be able to recommend specific products, and asses how damaged your hair is.

The overuse of heating products can lead to alot of breakage.
If you can, invest in some Sebastian Potion 9. I know it's expensive, but worth it. If you don't want to decrease how much you straighten, then you're going to have to get good products to take care of it. The Joico K-Pack line is also really good.

Why not wear it naturally? If you straighten it alot it's just not going to be healthy.
*Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now well defined and healthy. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life! But if this is completely uninteresting to you, disregard.
*To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel, a leave in, and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blow dryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a micro fiber hair turban/old t-shirts (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).
*The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygienic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sulfates). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.
*Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones (avoid these- ingredients will end in -xane, -conol, or -cone). Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.
*Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it will disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Make sure gel is evenly distributed everywhere in your hair. If you use too much you can always scrunch out the crunchy texture later.
*Use paper towels or an old t-shirt to gently scrunch some of the water out (generic towels can make hair frizz). You can either let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Dry until your hair is almost dry, and then air-dry the last bit. Do not touch the hair while it is air-drying or it will frizz!
*Use a cheap, silicone free conditioner to scrub your scalp such as Suave Naturals or Vo5. Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Kenra Moisturizing Conditioner (salon) or Nature's Gate\Desert Essences conditioners (health food stores) for your hair. I recommend using a gel (LA Looks, Herbal Essences, La Bella) over a leave in (L閳ユ┉real Out of Bed Instant Texturizer). Experiment with whatever products you wish, but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.
*You may be able to get away with some silicones (such as amodimethicone) if you clarify with a sulfate free shampoo. Try Devacurl no-poo (salon) or Cream of Nature (drug store). Feel free to find your own but always check the ingredients for sodium/ammonium lauryl/laureth sulfate.
*Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working. Before you decide to quit shampoo, do a final cleanse with shampoo and stop the use of any products with silicones in them. This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least visit the websites. Naturally curly hair can be beautiful! I hope you consider this- email me if you have any questions!
