To ask if you always style your hair?

My hair is very frizzy and difficult to manage. I also have a lot of it and is fairly wavy.
I am lazy and don’t often bother using my hair straightner after washing it, which means I let it be and looks a bit wild and, frankly, scruffy.
it’s just something I notice when I look at myself at work, when I dry my hair and check the mirror at home I often feel as I have obtained a “decent” beach look 🤣 but I now realise I can no longer pull that off. I was just curious to know if you always have your hair on point? What do you do to keep it in order?

I should add that I use Kerastase products/blow dry creams too. I also get regular trims and Olaplex treatments. My hair needs this as it's long and lightened from dark brown to blonde.

Wash hair twice a week - leave to dry naturally. It’s very curly so use some serum to tame it and either leave it loose or up in a messy bun. Always have it cut every six weeks.

Mine is curly, I co-wash 2-3 a week, depending on what I'm doing. It looks lovely on wash day - doesn't need much styling though, just lots of gel and then I air dry or diffuse if I'm going out straight away.

In between washes I add a bit of leave in conditioner and leave it down if it looks decent, or put it in a "pineapple" (loose ponytail on the top of my head) if it doesn't.

I have frizzy hair. When I style it it looks lovely. I don't style it until I have to and definitely don't for work as it's just scraped back. It does look untidy but it keeps it really healthy and shiny.

I do however use hair serum when it's wet and if I can be bothered I'll put it into pigtails just as it's dry which gives it shape and a little style when I let it out.

Oh God yes! My hair is practically Ken Dodd's when I wake up!

Wash every other day, or third if I really can't be bothered but I run the straighteners through everyday very quickly. I don't know why I bother, I hate my hair, it's thin, flat, damaged and all different lengths and never really grows. I put clip in hair extensions if I'm dressing up which makes it passable for ok hair.

I style it the night before if I need it to look good. Use the Revlon volumiser followed by pinning the front in rollers overnight. Only takes 10 minutes and makes my hair look great.
