PLEASE advise on how to make my STRAW-LIKE hair SOFT again! :( !!?

ever since about 11th grade of highschool my hair has been a total mess. I used to have soft long brown hair, and i cut it because 'my boyfriend wanted me to'

Since then my hair has NOT grown past shoulder length (its been 4 or 5 years! I'm a jr in college now). Not only that, but my hair is SO SO straw like i HATE it. I DONT blowdry/dye/straighten my hair...the only thing i do to my hair is shampoo & condition. I even DEEP condition once a week

I have tried 'coconut oil' or w/e and it made my hair greasy & gross. I've tried NOT washing my every 2 days cause i thought maybe i was washing it TOO much.

Honestly, someone please help. I want my soft hair back! Am i lacking some kind of vitamin or something?!

Try a water softner, and if you are using the 2 in 1 shampoo/conditioner, that could be your problem.

You could try using moisturizing and voluminizing shampoos and conditioners... Herbal Essences have really good stuff for that.

U can use a moisturizer and i think u can get ur hair softened at a hair salon.
