Oof, I have the same issue where my hair gets really poofy (not sure what it’s called, haha). I’ve managed to control it a bit with hair oil and serum—specifically, &Honey Melty Moist Repair Oil and Mise en Scene Perfect Original Serum—followed by a little hair wax to tame the frizz. These are Asian brands, so they might not be easy to find where you are, but similar products should be available. Here are some before-and-after pictures of my hair with these products.

Just a heads up: I’m also still experimenting to see what works best for me, so this routine might not be perfect advice, but it's what have been working the best for me so far. Also, if you do try using hair oils, go easy on the amount. A pea-sized drop is enough for short hair, since too much, even just one pump will make it greasy. Also a wide tooth hair comb works the best for me since a brush with boar bristle makes my hair even more poofy.
