smooth an' shiny hairr :) ?

my hair used to be like really shiny and evrything but i started straightening waay too much!! and now its all damaged looking ): do you know any home remedies for sleek and shiny hair? i really want to avoid cutting it cause it took FOREVER to grow it out... i might want to do a korean perm, does anyone know much about that? when it fades i'm probably going to cut it anyway, so..

oh and it would rly be helpful if you recommended stuff i can do at home cause i dont live in america anymore :O so i can't get any american products.. maybe pantene and the top class ones but most of them dont sell here so i have to do a lot of looking if im gonna find them.

thanks a bunch. :]

Update:

    first of all, dont shampoo your hair everyday.

    it takes the natural oils out.

    shampoo your hair once or twice a week.

    conditon your hair everday though.

    leave it on for at least an hour or so.

    or you can leave it on overnight and sleep with it (wrapped in a towel)

    and wash it in the morning.

    makes your hair soo soft and helps with breakage, dry and damaged, frizzy hair.

    do not use pantene or herbal (they have chemicals and waxes that isnt good for our hair)

    use dove therapy or tressume! dove therapy has serum in there.

    eat lots of healthy food.

    red meat helps with hair growth

    bananas, vitamins (vit c and b) helps with hair growth.

    massage your scalp while washing your hair (helps with hair growth and increase blood cirulation)

    do not brush your hair while wet, causes breakage and frizziness.

    let it air dry. comb your hair with your fingers.

    let it down and straight.

    just keep conditioning your hair all the time to prevent damages and breakage.

    if you straigthen, use a heat protector spray (got 2b, or tressume)

    home remedmies

    mayo and eggs together (condtions and makes hair SHINY)

    other stuff ive said, also helps.

    to keep your hair healthy looking and not so damaged.

    My hair is exactly the same as yours! It used to be really shiny but because I straighten my hair, it has become really dull. I'm not joking, an hour I used a home remedy to get my hair looking shiny and sleek - I used mayo. I know it sounds gross but it really works! My hair is wet at the moment so I cant tell if my hair is shiny but I can tell that my hair is super soft! So no need to fork out on expensive hair products, just head straight for the fridge! (:

    I will give you the instructions on how to do the mayo thing if you are interested:

    1. Damp hair

    2. add the mayo to your hair (doesn't matter how much you use, I used three spoon fulls)

    3, put hair in a carrier bag

    4. leave for 30 mins

    5. wash out

    6. shampoo and condition your hair as normal

    Good Luck! (:

    Use olive oil on your hair 3 or 4 times a week for about half an hour and wash your hair with cold water.

    Hey girl never think of using pantene because its full of wax which will damage ur here more giving u no choice without cutting. Use garnier frutics sleek and shiny. u can also use sunsilk black shine.
