I would stop straightening your hair completely. Try to wash only 2 times per week and if you want it straight, use a brush and a dryer on low heat. Always use a silicone serum before drying your hair. I really like Kenra Platinum Silkening Gloss - you only need a small amount and is has UV protection. Deep conditioner 1-2 times per week. I really would recommend getting Thriven from Killerstrands.com, but if you don't want to spend that much, just soak you hair in oils. I like olive/coconut/jojoba mixtures.
If you're not using professional hair color, you should switch. You can buy anything you would ever need at Killerstrands (I swear they don't pay me, I just love them). They also will help you with color formulation for free when you buy the products from them.
Good luck!

yea, you should try laying off the heat! If you must, like evryone said use a protectant.
Condition condtion conditon! Every single time you shower condition your hair. so if you shower 7 days a week, condition all 7 days. Only shampoo 3 of those days. I know it sounds weird and like your hair will be oily as all hell, but once your scalps oil production adjusts, youll be fine. The conditioner willclean your hair a bit, but it will moistly add much needed moisture. Youre hair will feel loads better. Once a week i would do a deep conditioning mask, like the moroccan oil. mask. When my hair feels particualrly haggard, i sleep in it, or leave it on my tips all day.
I would also use the morrocan oil before blow drying.
You can also try Redken's anti snap.
Also look into a keratin/protien treatment. I like aphogees, which you can get a sallys. they have a 2 min booster, which is pretty good. But the full treatment is hardcore. You can only use it 1 every 6 weeks because its so strong. I warn you, this stuff smells and looks like diarreah. i wish i were joking. You put it all over your hair (while gagging) and blow dry it. You hair becomes hair as a helmet, whatever you do, do not touch your hair while its in this condition as it can snap right off. Make sure its all blow dried, leave it on for a bit and wash it out carefully. it saved my hair after a nightmare at a salon (dying 3 times in a week, stripping the colour and dying it again!). I love this stuff for seriously stressed out hair.

Unfortunately, once hair is damaged there is no real way to improve the condion of the hair, you can only mask it. I'd suggest a good trim, and switching in between masks for dry hair and masks for damaged hair. For moisture I really like argan oil proucts, Moroccan oil, Macadamia and brands like that. For the damage my favorites are Joicos K Pak line ad avedas Damage Remedy line. Try not to wash your hair daily, use a mild shampoo and be nice to it in terms of physical abuse

Oh, and unless your hair is very curly you should be able to get by straightening hair mainly with a blow dryer and a few swipes of a flat iron. Look up a tutorial on how toblow dry your hair straight.
