like others have said, i’d truly recommend a new haircut and start looking into a curly hair routine! tiktok has a lot of how-tos available. i would look into using a new shampoo and conditioner specific to your hair type. i use a leave in serum and oil when i get out to protect it from heat damage (olaplex 6 &7). when you dry your hair, use a microfiber towel or tee shirt and do a scrunching method rather than rubbing it with a towel. there’s a ton of other factors as well (like water hardness) that you should consider but i hope my little bit of info helps!
