How to fix rough, stiff, and dry hair?

[PakAryan]

My hair for the past few years has been really rough, fairly stiff, and always goes up even though I would like it to fall downward so I can actually develop an actual hairstyle. My hair type is straight, perhaps with slight waviness. What should I do to make my hair softer, not stiff, and make it not go straight up no matter what? I read the hair guides and conditioner has helped but I'm not there yet, should I simply apply conditioner more often or cut out shampoo or something? thx

use hair oils, argan oil can help

All products used should be specifically for your hair type and as lightweight+natural as possible.
1.Wash with a gentle shampoo once a week first use warm water,wash off with lukewarm water and then cold.
2.After washing use a lightweight mask,possibly protein hair mask and leave it for 10-15 minutes,wash off with cold water
3.Apply a good lightweight moisturizing product on damp hair after washing
4.use a small amount of a good oil-argan,almond,maybe a little bit of castor oil
5.EAT enough protein
6.no styling products for at least 2 months

(mark as solution bhai?)
