Your hair looks good to me. My hair does not have a high gloss shine either. Also I stopped using that conditioner you are using because it made my hair super dry, brittle after using it. It does have protein in it. It doesn't say it on the bottle, but the company says their products have a small amount of protein in them.

I washed, steamed and dc'd with Aubrey honeysuckle moisturizing conditioner and blew drew my hair. It blew out successfully sure the roots felt a little stiff but it blew out straight. I invested all this money, bought this expensive babyliss flat iron nano pro titanium I saved up for and in the end my hair still felt or looked the same just more stiff... I tried adding oils then I got desperate and added grease. If you ask me with everything I did today, I did more damage than good.

Rec #1: You need to find a better moisturizing deep conditioner that provides your hair with tons of slip!

Sorry not on laptop at the moment but to answer some of the questions I used olive oil heat protectant serum pre blow dry over kids organics detangling shea butter and olive oil moisturizer and ramoni silk leave in. I started off at 310 and moved up to 400 the highest (goes up to 475) then back to 375.

I had to put leave in (I'm so stupid it has water in it) to soften up the stiffness.

Oh and I have very thick coarse 4b hair.

Rec#2: Way tooo many products. I typically only put a small amount of leave-in pre-blowdry followed by a small amount of heat serum.

Then pre-flat iron, a small amount of heat serum
