I have been coloring my hair for YEARS and now it's time to try to fix that damage. My hair is straight/wavy and thick. My goals are to increase growth, reduce shedding, make it softer, and reduce damage

Shampoo
I decided to try this out as an affordable bonding shampoo option and so far, so good
Luseta Perfect Bonding Shampoo, 16.9oz
I love SheaMoisture products and I love how this shampoo would make my hair feel
Strengthen and Restore 100% Pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo - 13.0 oz
I don't use this often, but when I need it I think its much better for my hair than the head & shoulders dandruff products
Nizoral Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 1% Ketoconazole 7oz
Conditioner
I got this with the shampoo and both products make my hair less tangled and softer
Luseta Perfect Bonding Restoring Conditioner
I usually use this with the shampoo as a set, but sometimes use it after other shampoos too
13.0 oz 100% Pure Jamaican Black Castor Oil Conditioner - SheaMoisture | Ulta Beauty
Masks/Treatments
I saw this as a K-18 dupe and I love how it makes my hair feel. I only put it on my mids to ends
I hate that this is higher-end but the results make it worth it
Genesis Strengthening Serum for Hair and Scalp - Kérastase | Sephora
Oils
I learned about this oil on TikTok and decided to see what it can do for getting some new growth going
SVA Amla Oil 4oz Premium Hair & Skin Care
I went through a whole bottle of this, with oiling 2-3x per week and noticed a lot of new growth especially around my hairline
ArtNaturals Organic Rosemary & Castor Hair Oil Set
I got this in an Allure box and LOVED it! I preferred putting it in my hair when it was towel-dried, but it also made my hair feel nice when I put it on dry hair too
True Soft Argan Oil 100ml / 3.4 oz
This recently came in an Allure box and I usually just put it on towel-dried hair. I rarely use it on fully dry hair.
Bond Rx Reparative Oil
Tools/Accessories
I'm giving in to the bonnet hype and hoping that it offers more protection besides me braiding my hair for the night
YANIBEST Adjustable Silk Satin Bonnet for Curly Hair
This made applying hair oil way easier for me and more fun compared to the droppers.
FXSPLCZ Root Comb Oil Applicator Bottle 6oz
I love this mini version for brushing through masks or conditioner in the shower
Wet Brush Mini Detangler Hair Brush, Pink ...
I also love this option for a hairbrush to really detangle and brush product through
This is a huge splurge! I got this as a gift for someone, but then tried it out and ended up loving it. Definitely not a necessity, but it is much cheaper than the Dyson (if you were already eyeing the Dyson)
FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System - Shark Beauty | Ulta Beauty
Once I switched to satin/silk scrunchies my hair stopped breaking or getting caught on the hair ties. It also did not seem as harsh as other hair ties
