Frizzy hair

My hair looks like this first image but sometimes with a bit more of a wave. Some days I may have a ringlet, other days it's just straight frizz. I can't wear it down if air dried but want to. I don't want to do curly girl. I've tried but it doesn't work well. I want a simple product I can use and for it to work magic.

I use Olaplex shampoo and conditioner. Tried all the general frizz ease etc.

Don't straighten, but do use dryer sometimes and coloured with a few highlights.

Any ideas?

Thanks @LuciferRising

What is the reason for classifying different hair types like this? Who else needs to know? Are products labelled 'suitable for type 3' or something?
Not being goady, I've just never heard of this before!

Yes a lot of the products in the curly ranges and brushes designed for curls etc are marketed at these specific hair types. I’ve got a tangle teezer de tangling brush and it says on the packet something about being for 3c type hair.

Thanks!

I can start looking out for things that are more suitable for my hair and maybe progress Fromm always looking like I've just crawled through a hedge backwards Grin

The GHD Glide heated brush is the best thing I've found for smoothing my frizz quickly. But I think it's damaging my hair which is making the problem worse in the long term.
I also like the Living Proof 5-in-1 styling cream (works better for me than my Olaplex 6 cream) and Nuxe oil through the ends.
I also find plaiting it, twisting it, and/or wearing a hat while it's damp make a big difference to smoothing down the pouffiness.
