I am growing my hair out and I was just wondering how do I know if I have unhealthy hair or when to

My hair is to my shoulders now and I look like someone from Led Zeppelin or the 70s in the sense of how its so frizzy and curly. I haven't trimmed or cut in over a year and I was also wondering if a hair straightener would help (something like chi hair straightener) because I want it long, straight, smooth, and glossy.

Any suggestions please? because I really want this

Also I am 15 years old and I am a guy.

Well if your strait you probably don't want to get a hair straightener. that just seems quite odd. well if you want to keep it healthy just trim the split ends, make sure to moisturize, and dont fry it with the straightener! good luck!

Usually your hair will not be unhealthy if you haven't done a lot to it...coloring, perm, etc. Just get it trimmed about once a month to do away with the split ends and you should be fine. As far as straightening...I'm not sure how much success you will have with that but here are some sites that can help you decide if you want to do that and what product would be the best....

Also...you might want to consider using a flat iron....that would probably do the least amount of damage to your hair in the long run.

If you haven't had your hair trimmed in a year, you are due for a trim! You might even have to have more than an inch cut off to make it healthy. You should get your hair trimmed at least every other month.

There are smoothing glosses you can use with a Chi Hair straightner to help smooth it out. Redken smooth down is a good conditioner. And you can use something like Garnier Fructis smoothing serum to help control any fly-aways and frizz.
