What should I do to make my damaged hair healthier?

My hair has been really damaged from dieing/bleaching & heat.

I dont dye it anymore, and I try to limit the heated tools.

It's still very dry and fried.

What products should I be using for my hair to help protect and repair it?

    Do not use any products on your hair or heat. The more oils you use is better. I have the same problem so when I take a shower, I wash my hair with shampoo like normal. Then I put olive oil all over my hair and then wash with conditioner. This allows the oils to stay in your hair and your hair feels different the first time you try this. When you do this don't put heaps of oil onto your hair because it will get greasy. When I do this you can't even feel or nor tell that I have oil in my hair. Also try to wash your hair less often because you need the natural oils in your hair. This works for me and I'm seeing alot of improvements already. I got this of YouTube and also try watching other YouTube videos, they help a lot. Hope I helped :)
