Please help! I live in the netherlands, where it's crazy humid, I have long, very very thin baby like hair, which frizzes like a tangle ball. It's FULL of tangles and even right after a shower & bruahing it tangles up and feels and looks frizzy.

I currently use the Jessy curl line for shampoo, panten volume for clarifying shampoo, conditioner and treatment deep conditioner, and jessy curl oil + Gel.

A few weeks ago I started using hair styling spray from John Frieda - frizz ease. I think it helps somewhat...

I even cut 2.6 inches off my hair and it didn't seem to help with the "damaged look".

My hair is completely natural, and I dont heat style, tho I started defusing a few weeks ago instead of air drying, which seems to have helped somewhat with the frizz...

I sleep on silk pillow cases, either in a loose bun (cause I can't pineapple anymore because my hair is too long) or In a silk bonnet.

I even dry my hair with a 100% cotton t shirt. I do it all!!

It shouldn't look so damaged and frizzy!!

When I sleep on soft rolls my hair looks better the next day, but very soon it starts tangling and getting frizzy again...

PLEASE! HELP ME!

Perhaps I need to go back to silicones? Right now I don't even care about the curls or nothing, I just want my hair to stop being so god damn frizzy.

Please help!!!

Products that I can use???

Routine:

(first 2 photos are day 2 after washing):

  1. Oils on hair to detangle before shower

  2. Detangle with fingers or the 'wet brush'

  3. Shampoo with a sls clarifying shampoo panten volume (shampoo, rinse, repeat)

  4. treatment deep conditioner from Jessicurl, detangle with wet brush, pack more treatment, let sit for 15 min)

  5. Wash, add a bit more treatment as a leave in, and plop with a t shirt while still in shower.

  6. Spray john Frida styling spray/ jessicurl gel

  7. Defuse on low heat and low power / put into foam rollers and sleep on them / foam rollers + defuse

  8. Sleep in a lose bun (can't pineapple because my hair is too long) on silk sheets, or in a silk bonnet.

Please help me.... I don't even care about the curls anymore, I just want it to stop being so frizzy and whispy....

I live in Texas which is pretty humid too.
I try to avoid brushing my hair in any way, even in the shower. It keeps the curls from aligning on their own. The most I do is use my fingers to detangle during conditioner. If there are really hard knots or my fingers are sore/injured, I have a wide tooth comb to spot treat tangles.
Personally, when I shower in the evening, my hair is always a mess the next day. I've never had luck keeping it from being a medusa mess the next day. If I want my natural curls for something that day, I shower during the day and let my hair air dry after plopping, or I partly diffuse to set in some curls to let the rest air dry.
