Do curl activators help restore damaged hair?

Hey girls, so after lots and lots of heat damage, my curls hang limp and lifeless. Some of them even just hang straight. So I was thinking of investing into a good, CG friendly curl activator such as Kinky Curly Curling Custard to re-activate my curls and help them remember and re-form their natural pattern. My only concern though is that such a method may actually dehydrate my hair or lead to build up. Any thoughts??

Personally, I found that activators made a bit of difference in the beginning, but nothing like what I get now after a year of CG and really encouraging my curl by not straightening.
