My hair isn't soft,it's hard and bristle-like. What can I do to make it soft and manageable?

Use sulfate free shampoos since sulfates dry out and roughen up your hair. They're so much gentler so you can use them daily if you need to. Also use weekly hair masks with stuff like honey, olive oil, avocado, banana, eggs or even mayo helps. Look up the pro naturals hair care line on the internet and get what you want from them, anything of theirs helps since argan oil is really really good for making hair soft and shiny. You can use an argan oil from that brand after a shower to tame the frizz and make your hair smoother, its not greasy. I use them for the same thing. Oh and get regular trims, you don't want split ends ruining everything.

Use rose water on ur hair afta a showa

P.s always smile

wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo. while conditioning ur hair comb your hair (while conditioner is still on) rinse your hair with warm water (more hot than cold but not too hot).
