Hair issues 🙅😨💘 sorry it's long.

Hiya guys! 💜
So basically, my problem is with my natural hair ( when it's not had heat applied to it )... I am still in school, but I have around half an hour in the morning to style it..

So, I usually wash my hair before bed then air dry it before I go to sleep, and when it's dry I put it in a twirled messy bun with no bobble, just bobby pins.

However, despite my hair being full and heavy at night, it seems to frizz up at the roots and at my twizzly bits ( sorry, I don't really know what they're called, but they're the parts that frame the side of your face and are shorter than your main hair, if you know what I mean 😂) are very unruly and look damaged despite in reality they are actually in okay condition😨 also, my hair ( which tbh is rather thin anyway, and medium long legnth) is lighter and seems to be more fine 🙅

So usually, I either go for a messy bun with just the pins again, or a loose high ponytail, or curly hair down, or straight hair down with a quiff or bump on top.

But I don't think these suit me, as mid way through the day, updos frizz up and look disgusting and messy, and hair down goes straggley and my ears poke through the sides because it has become that thin!

Has anybody got any suggestions for either a different style or a product I could use to help it look and stay nicer 😕💞

Thank you very much,
Pops 💁🌸💞✨

P.s. The products I already use are tresseme anti frizz shampoo and conditioner and John Frieda anti frizz spray and lotion 👑

Braids! I've been in the same situation as you and I found braids were my best friend. You can braid your hair while its wet and after you wake up, it will be in lovely waves. If you're not a fan of your side pieces, twisting them or braiding them back while leaving the rest down eliminates frizz and flyaways from them. And of course, just braid your hair throughout the day. You can do complex ones or messy basic ones and it'll look lovely regardless. Also, I'd make sure you're getting enough nutrients to improve the health of your hair and maybe try adding an oil? Coconut oil really helped me. I'd leave it in for ten minutes to deep condition my hair and then wash it out. You could do the same with a hair mask. I also liked rubbing a tiny bit of the oil on the ends of my hair when it felt/looked parched. Hope this helped doll!
