My hair underneath the top layer is unhealthy, any advice?

The hair on my head underneath the top layer is unhealthy. The top dries straight but, since it is damaged, the hair underneath kind of curls up. My top layer of hair is healthy and shiny. I'm thinking it might be from pulling my hair back in a pony tail, but I don't do that when my hair is wet and I use the Pantene Restoratives hair strengthener. My hair dresser is trying to tell me that everyone's hair gets like that, but I really don't want to settle with that! :o) If anyone knows what I should do, I would really appreciate any ideas. Thanks.

You should get it cut but just a trim so its not short! Ask the haircutter to cut off all the split and dead ends.

Always buy the more expensive shampoos+conditioners and avoid swimming in pools with chlorine. I know that second one sounds silly because most pools have chlorine in them, but it makes the world of difference. Chlorine weakens your hair and can even turn your hair green!

So yea, sorry for wasting all your time if you don't even swim:)

My sister does hair for a living and she deals with this stuff all the time!! Get a little trim to get all of the damaged ends and split ends off and do a deep conditioning. You can buy stuff at Walmart, a beauty salon or even have your hair stylist do it. It keeps your hair healthy and looking the way it should.
