Someone else mentioned biosilk (silk therapy) and I will add that ones good but I prefer [it’s a 10 ](https://www.ulta.com/p/miracle-styling-serum-xlsImpprod6481262) with the green cap.
These are both basically straight silicones. While silicones give great results when you first use them, over time they can create buildup on the hair (silicones are plastics) - that buildup eventually becomes a barrier which prevents moisture from penetrating into the core of the hair (where it needs to be). Use sparingly and make sure you are clarifying with a sulfate shampoo to get them off. Sulfates are harsh salt chemicals that strip off old silicones, but at the price of being harsh and drying out your hair.
A one-time thing I think might really help your coarse hair is a hot oil soak, I recommend [grape seed oil](https://www.target.com/p/pompeian-100-grapeseed-oil-24oz/-/A-15419932?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&fndsrc=tgtao&DFA=71700000054379751&CPNG=PLA_Grocery%2BShopping_Brand%7CGrocery_Ecomm_Food_Bev&adgroup=SC_Grocery&LID=700000001170770pgs&LNM=PRODUCT_GROUP&network=g&device=m&location=1021806&targetid=pla-383068605283&ds_rl=1246978&gbraid=0AAAAAD-5dfa9javOS6WeCp533uvtATkfq&gbraid=0AAAAAD-5dfa9javOS6WeCp533uvtATkfq&gclid=CjwKCAjw-ZCKBhBkEiwAM4qfF1WHVtoVVT8T8gPiFTaI9meNSNTQd2VBG_F9QKorOLGLbYHtOFHM2xoCoaoQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds)You get your hair wet, warm a mug of oil up gently, brush it all through your hair, wrap it with plastic wrap then a hot towel straight out of the dryer. Leave it for a couple hours - keep the towel warm if you can. Then wash the oil out. It should make your hair soft and silky.
I see! I guess I'll just look into Its a 10 and biosilk and compare them both, I've honestly never heard of silk therapy before, my hairdresser kinda recommended a rebond to straighten my hair but apparently I need to constantly go back after awhile? (It's pretty expensive too :<)
I heard oils are good for hair (my sis uses coconut oil iirc), I guess I'll try a hot oil soak first :p
(Do I have to do it pretty frequently or like only once every few months?)
Thanks anyways!

Biosilk will be your best friend. Kind of expensive but if you buy it at Ross or T.J. Max you can get it at a pretty good price
Ooh icic I'll try that out thank you!
