splurge a little. I find that Redken's All smooth Heavy Cream is very good for fixing troubled hair in a jiffy. Wash hair nice nice first before use.
It's not that sunsilk or pantene is bad for the hair but that they contain a large amount of SLS and also have alot of silicon in them. The silicon makes the hair shiny by giving it an extra coating. Over time the silicon builds up and makes the hair kinda lifeless and dull and hard to hold any style. Need clarifiying shampoo about once a week to clean off the build up. Silicon also appears most in your hair styling products like gel and wax and hairspray.
I takes it that you might have rebonded your hair recently? You should stay away from hair dryers for aboout 2 weeks after rebonding or perming unless you have those that blow cool air. Don't want to fry the hair shaft accidentally ^^;;
