The only other way I can think of is to have it chemically straightened, but that won't help your already damaged hair.

I have the same problem
you have to use a lot of deep conditioning treatments
and you need moisterizing shampoos and conditions and leave in conditioners

chemically straightening it will be a more permanent solution, but it IS very damaging to your hair, and since your hair is already damaged, it's probably not a good option.

First, you should work on getting your hair back to a healthy condition. Use an intensive leave in conditioner about once a week, and a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner every other day. Generally, dryer hair needs a THICK shampoo/conditioner. If it's really thin, 9 times out of 10 it won't work properly.

Secondly, try to stop straightening your hair as much. If you straighten it every day, it IS going to be really damaging. Try french plaiting your hair instead when it's wet, or just simply tying it up. If you do this for a few months, your hair should get healthier. Don't forget to use a GOOD heat protectant every day whenever you use heat on your hair.

Like mostly everyone said, chemical straightening is your best bet. Although I don't think it would be good for your already damaged hair. Try using deep conditioners and embrace your curls. I used to hate my curly hair until I found out how to work with them. Now I only wear my hair curly
