I agree with Anais and Dave. You could always apply a product to enhance the texture and add shine to your naturally dried hair; I think that would look great.
Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.

How does a serum would NOT work ... hmmm. I just cannot imagine it not working. Condition your hair well and when you get out of the shower take some leave-in conditioner and a dollop of one of those serums OR hair cremes (use the serum that's more like a gel than the kind that come out of a pump and are sticky), rub your hands together, and then start at the ends and "wipe" onto your hair. Then wipe the rest on the outer layer along the lengths. Here's MY concoction: I use L'anza Leave-In Treatment (protein) and John Freida Sheer Blonde "Spotlight" (don't have to be blonde!). Works great. Sometimes I use only the Leave-In and I can really see a DIFFERENCE -- much smoother and less frizzy when I use the MIX. I have naturally wavy and fine hair and the waves look nice after doing this. One of the "cremes" I have used that also worked good was by Thermasilk. Not sure if it's still around. Was made for course hair but was great on my fine hair.
(I couldn't see your pic). One more thing: It takes a little practice getting the hang of all those products out there. You gotta get just the right ratio of product. Don't give up. You're not immune!
How would I go about scrunching my hair to make it curly?
Here's a website explaining scrunching, because I'm too lazy today to personally post up the directions. How to scrunch your hair!
Ohh, and at the bottom of the page, it says to blow dry your hair with a diffuser... You can nix out that part. Heat=damaging=bad. And you still get the same results, with the diffuser or not.

I would condition my hair more if it is frizzy. Shampoo less...or just
use less. No need to shampoo anything other than near the scalp. Also
what about a nice leave-in conditioner? I use a silicone free one and
apply it to my ends. It helps somewhat with the frizzies when I apply
some to the length. I use pantene's shining start leave in. I will
probably invest in a better leave-in conditioner when I can. But it is
an okay leave in.
I do not know what Frizz-ease is but make sure to use a good hair serum
when you straighten your hair. But I would avoid the straightener. Also
if you have wavy hair naturally why not scrunch your hair and go curly?
Also a good gel for putting in your hair for blow drying is "Calm that
Frizz" by Aussie. It's nice and light, but if you want something
heavier try "High and Mighty" by Aussie. Also both those gels work for
scrunching your hair.

Thanks! I actually flat iron it every other day because I only wash my
hair every other day. But sometimes I do touch-ups before school and
such.
Yeah, I have a part that takes a lot of hair to one side but leaves a
decent amount on the other. At the moment I have it parted on the
side and its in a pony tail. The problem is, the shorter pieces fall
out sometimes. I usually clip them back but its hard to get them all
back without using 87489573 clips.
I am hoping to get my hair longer so that I have more options of
styles. I can bring it to the side, leave it down and plain, pony tail,
bun. So much more than what I currently have.
Thanks!

Well regardless of the cut, I'd quit intensively flat-ironing it every
day. That is harsh on the hair and will probably result in you
loosing any length you achieve the next time you visit a hair stylist
and they make a fuss over the condition of your ends.
From your picture, it looks like you have your hair swept to one
side? If you do not feel wavey hair fits this - try playing
around with it - pinning it up or back, a different part, pony tail,
etc. Who said we have to wear our hair in the same exact style
day to day anyways? Course that is the advantage of longer styles
- you get more options and don't have to worry about one style that
only looks good straight. Since your hair does not look that
short, I bet that there is more you can do with it.

Hi there =) I'm new to this board. I've looked around a bit; it seems nice.
I recently got my hair cut from below my shoulders to above them. My
hair has been growing back really quickly, which I am thankful for. I
liked the cut a lot for a few weeks but now I'm sick of having to take
care of it. My hair is really thick and takes a long time to straighten
and dry. I air dry it because I figure the flat iron damages it enough.
I wash my hair every other day also.
I am SICK of straightening this stuff. It makes my scalp really
dry and takes too much time. The problem is, my haircut looks
really weird when it's not straightened. Is there any type of
product that will help my hair grow so that it doesn't look so silly
when its wavy? And anything to make my hair less frizzy? I have used
Frizz-Ease or whatever its called by John Frieda and it didn't work.
Things never work on my hair. I think my hair is immune. Anyway,
here is a picture of my hair currently. It's a little bit longer now,
but you get the idea.
