Please help! I live in the netherlands, where it's crazy humid, I have long, very very thin baby like hair, which frizzes like a tangle ball. It's FULL of tangles and even right after a shower & bruahing it tangles up and feels and looks frizzy.

I currently use the Jessy curl line for shampoo, panten volume for clarifying shampoo, conditioner and treatment deep conditioner, and jessy curl oil + Gel.

A few weeks ago I started using hair styling spray from John Frieda - frizz ease. I think it helps somewhat...

I even cut 2.6 inches off my hair and it didn't seem to help with the "damaged look".

My hair is completely natural, and I dont heat style, tho I started defusing a few weeks ago instead of air drying, which seems to have helped somewhat with the frizz...

I sleep on silk pillow cases, either in a loose bun (cause I can't pineapple anymore because my hair is too long) or In a silk bonnet.

I even dry my hair with a 100% cotton t shirt. I do it all!!

It shouldn't look so damaged and frizzy!!

When I sleep on soft rolls my hair looks better the next day, but very soon it starts tangling and getting frizzy again...

PLEASE! HELP ME!

Perhaps I need to go back to silicones? Right now I don't even care about the curls or nothing, I just want my hair to stop being so god damn frizzy.

Please help!!!

Products that I can use???

I don't see the problem. This is absolutely beautiful hair. I really love the curls too. But if you are not happy with it, have you tried washing it much less often? Unless she is styling in a way that requires "product", or it got very dirty with something, my wife might only wash it once per week.

Don’t listen to this person. You do have beautiful hair, but in its current condition, it is a mess. Your gut is correct. I don’t have a silver bullet, but try washing it less, try using hair oil as someone else suggested. Have you tried any leave in conditioner?
