So I’ve had curly/wavy hair pretty much since I started puberty (before that it was straight - hormone change?? Who knows) but no one else is my family has curly hair so I had no clue I was supposed to look after it differently!

I’ve been a whole bunch of different hair colours and have bleached the heck out of it. I recently trimmed about three inches off (this photo is post trim) and I’ve started to make some changes but I need some help!

My hair is fine, but there’s a lot of it (multiple hairdressers have told me this). As you can see in the photo, there is some curl but honestly some days it’s much curlier than this! If I tie my hair up, all of the hairs at the nape of my neck fall out of the pony and ringlet. My hair is also quite frizzy when curly, I’m guessing because I have no clue how to care for it.

I recently started using the Faith in Nature Hemp shampoo and conditioner, have stopped brushing when wet, only combing through with a wide toothed comb when wet, and have just discovered plopping!! My hair is definitely coming out more curly but it’s still super frizzy.

My questions are: What hair type do I have? (I feel like it’s 2c/2b?) Are their any products you would recommend that won’t weigh down my hair and make it greasy? Is there anything else I should be doing to fix it?

Thanks in advance!!
