Curling Iron to Save My Hair?

This is not me. But this is what I feel I look like.

My hair has been giving me all sorts of problems lately.  I can’t seem to make my hairstyle work.  I just want it to be easy but I always require some sort of extra step.  There is no air drying with my hair.  If I air dry, my hair looks like a frizzy mess.  I don’t understand why it looks worse when technically it should look a bit healthier, since I’m not using anything damaging to make it look that way.  I was talking about this with my friend and she said that maybe it was the tools I was using when I actually “did” my hair.  My hair just might be damaged from all the abuse it goes through to look somewhat decent.  So that would be why my hair looks so raggedy when it air dries.  She asked if I used ceramic curling irons and I said I wasn’t sure…which said to her that I don’t.  She said that making an effort to only use ceramic curling irons or straighteners, like the CHI straightener or other CHI hair products, will make a big difference.  Apparently a ceramic curling iron will distribute heat evenly and will cause less damage.  So before I do something drastic…like shave my head…I guess I’ll buy new tools for my hair.  I’ll let you know how it goes!
