If you have thick, frizzy hair, how do you style it?

[Platoo]

I've always had very thick, frizzy/wavy hair which I've always struggled with. Not nice and curly, but big and messy. I've straightened it for years because I've never found a way of managing it otherwise.

I had some professional work photos tsken recently and just felt really down about how it looks. I haven't had it cut for a while which doesn’t help, but I feel like I can't really style it nicely with layers etc as if it was straight, but it also doesn't curl. It just kind of hangs there.

If you have similar hair, how do you have it cut and how do you style it? Please inspire me!

I have short, very thick, frizzy hair. I use keratase hair oil (small amount) on my wet hair, then dry naturally, and follow up with a blob of morrocan oil smoothing lotion. And I get it cut every 6 weeks. Oh and a silk pillow case!

Thanks everyone, lots of good tips here which I'm going to experiment with. I have to admit I've been very boring with my hair regime and Nedd to investigate some new products and techniques!
