Basically the title, i’ve fried my hair from straightening it so much and while it’s still long it’s super damaged. Is there salvation potential for it by using oils/serums etc or should i just cut it off.

Are there any products that can save heat damaged hair??

If hair is dead it's dead. Thats that. Over.
You gotta wait for it to regrow
You can make it temporarily better with protein treatments but that isn't worth it imo

Cut and regrow, or just wait for hair to replace itself via shedding but it’ll take a few months

been wanting to do that but i wanna maintain the femininity aspect of my appearance by keeping it long
How much of it is damaged? You could just snip the ends, wait for it to grow back and wash and repeat. Just don't do anything to damage the new hair

Lowk, cut it and let it grow back and use heat protectant or just rock the waves imo the texture looks so nice idk why people voluntarily straighten their hair
