I was looking at the pictures after you brushed it out. You have a lot of waves in your hair! It looks like you could bring out quite a few curls if you tried (and didn't brush it).

I gotta say, I hardly see any frizz around your face, it's almost all on the length ( which is to be expected when you brush curly hair so I wouldn't worry). Your hair looks very nice and healthy all the way to the tips. and it looks like you have just enough volume around the face to make it look like you have hair with body, but not so its overpowering. I'd kill for a little volume around my face! I think that frizz halo around your head it all in your mind (I've seen them, and you don't have one). A few hairs are to be expected since you always have new growth, and they look just fine; barely noticable. Stop being so critical of yourself! Your hair looks great and you don't have a bunch of frizz around your head! Smile

Ok, your hair is very shiny which is a good sign of healthy hair!  I suggest not brushing.  Comb (or brush gently if you feel the need) before washing your hair.  After washing, towel-dry and let it alone.  You'll probably see actual curls this way instead of just waves or frizz.  If you let your hair curl, the "halo" will actually blend in more and won't be noticed.  I've been there.  I used to try to slick down the top of my hair and gel it/mousse it/spray it.... whatever..... to keep those little hairs from sticking up and out.  It drove me crazy!  I don't even part my hair anymore.  I just let it curl and fall as it pleases.  It saves me a ton of effort and worry (and alot of money on products).  And it looks so much better and I get way more compliments.  So that's an idea you might try out and see if it works for you.  Smile

Thanks everyone for all the wonderful advice i really appreciate it!, i guess in my mind curly hair always looks damadged to me probably because it doesnt fall neatly, im going to try my best to make it as healthy as possible with some flat ironing in between im going to slowly let go of it though and i still have to try out that rinse for clarifying, im going to start doing the conditioner only thing and i need to figure out a good oil to use on my hair, olive, jojoba, rosemary etc. anyone know which is best? thank you again!
