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 live in a temperate rainforest with 3a/3b curls and use Redken Acidic Bonding Conditioner. There's a leave-in treatment too which I use occasionally, but the conditioner helps a lot by itself. I wash my hair with any regular shampoo, put the conditioner in and wrap my hair in a plastic shower cap for 2 hours before rinsing it out. Once a week is enough for me, but you may need to do more treatments to start off.

You could also try Olaplex No 3 if you think you have serious damage. It helps repair the bonds in hair and make the cuticle smoother.

I'm not sure if these products are available in your area, just trying to suggest what finally worked for me. The frizz struggle is annoying and I hope something someone recommends here helps!
