Hair Help!

Hi ladies,

I have very curly hair which I flat-iron about three-four times per week. Its just about shoulder length right now. It grows really slooooow.... and I want to keep growing it for my wedding... BUT, my ends get so split from the heat processing! It seems like the second it grows a little, I am due for a trim and I cut off what little has grown.

Does anyone have any tips for keeping dry, split end-prone hair healthy for long enough to grow it???? Products, styling tips? Anything?
I tried a keratin express treatment and it was good but I do not have the money to keep up with the treatments.
Help?
TIA!

DONT cut it-- that bs they say about cutting it will make it grow faster IS BS!! It doesnt make it grow faster, lol it just makes your hair shorter--- I have very long hair and I dont get hair cuts as often as I should-- I straight iron it everyday... the only way it stays long is by not cutting it-- when it starts to look like i NEED a trim, that's the only time I get one!

Folic acid and/or pre-natal vitamins. My pregnant friends LOVE it. Their hair and nails never looked better.

So interesting! I bought biotin a while back for this purpose and can never get into the habit of taking it. I will have to put this stuff by my toothbrush or something... though I think I will frighten both my family and FH if I have a bottle of prenatal vitamins out on the bathroom counter!
