haircare tips plz

My hair is dark brow almost black. It's not straight but its not wavy either, idk how to explain it. I would say my hair is on the thhicker side. My hairline is a mess when it comes to putting it into a ponytail as baby hairs just go everywhere because they can't be pinned down.



Products that i currently use is:

Mielle Rosemary Strengthening Oil - I use this about twice a week and i leave it on for like 20 mins before i wash my hair. I mainly use it on the areas i want to grow which is the front of my head + hairline.

Dabur Amla Hair - I use this on the same days as my rosemary oil but i don't put it on the same places, this just goes on my scalp anywhere else. I leave it on for probably 2 hours before washing it off.

When my hair is damp after the shower, I use the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary oil because i heard that its good for hydrating.


Then Sometimes i straighten my hair - at most this happens twice a week. I use the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Dream Lengths Heat Slayer Spray to protect my hair.

When my hair is damp, I use the L'Oreal Paris Elvive Extraordinary oil because i heard that its good for hydrating.



I don't know where to start so all of these things i've just found on tiktok. I wouldn't say that i've had a bad experience with them but i haven't seen any massive changes and I don't feel confident with this products knowing that I have no knowledge whatsoever.

Any websites or recommendations where i can see which things would be best for my hair

I would say if you want to see changes instead of leaving them on for short periods of times maybe overnight and then wash your hair in the morning, that way the oil seeps into your scalp properly
