Bump, as I'd like to know, I have some heat damage.

I think lots of deep-conditioning and tlc will improve it. Eventually all of us will probably need to trim some of it off but I'm not cutting anything till I reach my first goal. For now, I'm ignoring it
and focussing on the fact that most of my hair is super duper healthy

your hair is BEAUTIFUL hopeful. unforunately, for me I had no choice but to cut and start all over. currently, I am wearing a wig until my tresses gain some length but I am no longer mad about my cut. With that being said, had you come to me the day I realized what needed to be done:buttkick::heated::210::redxgun2:

I'm still trying to nurse it back to health. It's been 4 months...
Deep conditioning and keeping it moisturized.
But I am also being realistic....most heat damage is irreversible

IMO I would do heavy and light protein treatments always followed by moisturising DC often
Here a thread about it:

Believe it or not.........I had to transition and it was a horrible experience
. A few years ago over 85% of my hair was straight from heat damage and all I could do was trim as my hair grew out. I wish I knew about braid-outs and twist outs then. I had to walk around with scrawny looking twists

Grow it out- basically transition parts of your hair and wait till the straight bits break off

Scrawny looking twists is right! I went to a salon for single strand twists and they looked HORRIBLE. I had done them a couple of years before that time and they looked much better even good. Thank goodness this was YEARS ago.
Today, I'm growing out my irreversible heat damage since 2006. If I where to cut it all off I'd be about shoulder length if not shorter so.
No amout of nursing will 'fix' this permanent damage but you must be very gentle with heat damaged ends b/c they break very easily. You might find some scary split ends and white bulbs. I just snip as I grow...
