I naturally have really coarse hair and it gross really long... I recently cut it all off because a few years ago I tried to put a chemical in my hair and it flattened my hair forever!! and fried it! but now I have my natural curls Back finally!! and this time I want it to grow long, healthy and shinning without chemicals... Any suggestions?

If you have dry and coarse hair I would suggest a coconut oil treatment before you wash your hair (tutorials are on YouTube/online) it really helps give moisture to your hair, shine, makes it stronger and less frizzy.l + adds protein to the hair. As a shampoo, I would suggest loreal non sulfate shampoo and conditioner/mask for dry hair. Or the moroccanoil line. Followed by a good serum to make it less dry such as Biosilk, CHI silk repair or moroccanoil. I had this problem too and I FINALLY found a way dealing with it haha, goodluck! 😊

If your hair is super curly and dry, you may not ever need to shampoo. My hair type is a 3c and I never get oily, so I only shampoo when I get something in my hair. Minimizing shampoos will help your hair keep it's natural oils and cut down on frizz. Also, it's better to comb curly hair when wet and full of conditioner. Dry brushing ruins the curl pattern and, since curly hair tends to tangle easily, leads to breakage. I'd advise looking into "the curly girl method," it's a book that is super helpful.
Here's a quick summary:
-use only cool or cold water on hair. Hot water opens up the cuticle, letting in air that makes hair lighter and causes frizz. Cool water keeps the cuticle closed and smooth.
-don't rinse conditioner out all the way. Instead do a baptism rinse - take your head out of the water, and cup and fill up your hands with water, then dump it over your head. Do that a few times, but leave some in.
-then dry your hair with a pashmina scarf, old tshirt or paper towels - not a fuzzy bath towel. These absorb less water and oil, again keeping hair more moisturized.
- don't rub or wring hair, instead flip head upside down and scrunch dry.
-then apply whatever leave-in conditioners/serums you like (these are optional). Then use a curl gel. Apply liberally, then flip head upside down and scrunch again. You can use duck-bill clips if you tend to get flat roots. Then you can blow-dry with a diffuser or let it air dry. If you have time and really want to prevent frizz, you can drape a dry tshirt/scarf over your hair while it dries. This acts to physically hold hair down and prevent frizz from rising.
-once hair is totally dry, gather it in your hands like you're going to make a ponytail, but just run your hand all the way down to the ends. The gel encases your hair to prevent frizz, so this breaks the gel cast so hair is soft instead of crunchy.
-avocado oil is also really good for hair. You can even blend up a super-ripe avocado with some coconut oil and apply it for an hour or so.
