Okay so.
I'm tired of putting so much product in my hair to get it to stay curly. I'm
Half black half white therefore my hair when it's dry is huge and puffy- but really short.
When wet it's curly but it dries so fast it frizzes even with anti-frizz product in it.
I kind of really want to wear it as an "afro" but I don't know how to style it without it looking out of control or like I just woke up.
And nobody ever replies on here so help would be nice!

I feel you! Try no pooing , and Shea moisture products which are pretty much my holy grail hair products, also read Teri LaFlesh's Curly Like Me, it help me out so much! It's a book by the way! And agreed with Francesmarie, try YouTube!

Will the book help me even if I don't have tight curls? I don't want to spend $12 on a book that doesn't have useful tips for my hair type :c

I use "care free curl" it comes in a gold bottle with a red lid. or I do twist outs or braid outs and it gives my hair a nice texture that holds all day. you can find tutorials on youtube

Yess! @Alexis! You can get it from your library! That's where I read it from! And try Lorriane Massey's curly like me, it has tips for all curly hair types! Waves, kinks, coil, loose curls, right curls!

Co wash your hair, apply your leave in conditioner, apply Eco styler gel, then lightly re wet your hair. (All of this in thee shower) then your hair will dry curly. You can air dry your hair or use a diffuser. This is my natural hair (but in a bantu knout out)
