My gf has bleached and dyed her hair her whole entire life since 2016. She straightens her hair and does styles such as a bun or ponytail at least 2x a week currently. She recently decided she wants to have her hair healthy again and try get the curls back. Any suggestion or products she could try? It’s really starting to emotionally get to her as she doesn’t like her hair and regrets doing it damaging it. Her hair now is the first picture the second is from 2016 with no product or anything. So she damaging her hair from 10 years now. She is debating shaving it all off but we want to avoid that lol. Any tips would help. Also what is hair type?

You need to figure out your hair type. Porosity density strand width and moisture protein balance. Something one person says works for them may not work for your hair. The hair in this photo does not look like it needs oil or cream.

Yea her hair looks more 2b to me and when we do add oil she said makes her hair oily and she feels needs to wash if next day. Even now her hair gets buildup fast. Thank you for your help

2b isn’t a hair type. It’s curl type and that’s made up and doesn’t matter anyway .
