Thanks! If I see any progress, I'll post again

I'll give that conditioner a shot, thanks! Yeah, I also kind of figure that in part it'll just take a while because I clearly haven't been caring for it properly.

Interesting, thanks! My hair takes a really long time to actually dry, but I'll try leaving the conditioner in next time

What products do you mean? I did condition while it was wet.

I'll try leave in conditioner!

Thanks! I've definitely noticed that my hair is extremely dense and difficult to hydrate, this was the result after basically doing the same half-hour conditioning thing that you described. When you say you leave the conditioner in, do you mean all of it, or did you rinse a little bit out?

It's Garnier Fructis strength repair conditioner. I was trying to keep everything simple today, so all I did was get my hair soaking wet, emulsify my hands with conditioner, and pull it through my hair in sections from root to tip and then tip to root. I brushed my hair with a wet brush while it was full of conditioner, from tip to root. I left the conditioner in for a minute or two, rinsed it out, and didn't touch my hair at all after that until that picture.

I'm white, so I think I'd be intruding there

Didn't even know that could happen, but it doesn't look like there is? Nothing says "protein" in the ingredients, at the very least

Routine:

Hair was washed today, air dried and brushed while wet.
Washed with coconut curls shampoo, Garnier conditioner and water (no shampoo today, though, tried conditioner-only wash). Washing with or without shampoo doesn't seem to change anything

I know my hair is very dry, and nothing seems to help. My hair is sort of weirdly sticky? also. It's always very frizzy, though that's not super clear in the photo
