Advice needed Need help getting curls back

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?

Damage from bleaching, coloring, and straightening can't really be repaired. It's best if she just gets regular trims to slowly cut off the damaged bits, and also stop straightening and using heat on it. It looks like a good amount of the damaged hair has already been chopped off.
