Okay...help? lol I just want healty hair =(
I only shampoo once a week, and I use deep conditioners..I also use
coconut oil that the ends of my hair...but nothing is working. As
you can see, I don't use a straightening iron either =P
I looked up your past threads. I know this sounds obvious, but you're going to want to stop processing your hair. Chemical straightening and straight-ironing is just going to make things worse. Granted, you'd have to deal with un-straight hair for awhile but I think it's necessary.
How many conditioners do you use? Adding a second, lighter conditioner can help immensely. This would mean using a light conditioner after shampooing, and then using your usual normal-weight conditioner. Light conditioners include the Suave and V05 brands.
Of course this isn't a quick fix, but it will help in the long run. I know for a fact that I didn't get noticeable results until about 2 months after adding a second conditioner to my routine. The added moisture, over time, will help with shine and ease of combing. Over time, it helped a lot with the sun damage I had. And further, adding a second conditioner helped "weigh" my hair down so I had less frizz or flyaway hair.
I hope this was helpful. Sorry for the mixup earlier.

Edited to add: I know you've had chemical work in the past, and straightening in the past, but could it be that your hair just has an extremely "coarse" classifier (large-stranded hairs) by change in hormones throughout your life?
anyways...for the past few months, I only used shampoo once a
week. Everytime i shower, i would use a sauve conditioner, and
then I would use the pantene deep conditioner. I haven't touched
the hair iron or the hair dryer for several month...but my hair till
looks like THAT...but its better than before...at least its not super
frizzy at the top anymore.
Have you tried Giovanni Direct Leave-in? My hair used to feel very very coarse, until I started using Giovanni on just-dried hair. Then I sock curl and go to bed. The Giovanni for some reason makes it much softer. It's also organic and cone-free. Hairboutique MP carries all the Giovanni products but they are out of the Direct Leave-in, but you can find it here or here also. I think the formulation has changed though.
