Best products for frizzy red hair

What should I be using to sort out my hair? I'm a redhead, so for me that means fine, dry hair (but a lot of it), with a natural wave. I'll shampoo and condition, then blow dry it and finish off with a Babylis rotating brush. Fabulous. Then 10 minutes later, it's puffed out into a frizz ball again. It's got to the point where it's constantly up in an Invisibobble scrunchie, and that is not a good look on me! Help me please!

I use oils on my hair but I have curly and wavy bits! I've found that a tiny bit of coconut oil works wonders when my hair is dry and fluffy! I don't use any heat on my hair, the oil helps keep a curl or wave pattern as it dries. I put a tiny bit on after washing/conditioning and let it dry. You can also use it after hair has dried to smooth things out, but make sure you only use a very tiny amount and only on the mid lengths and ends. If I use anything like mousse or gel it seems to make my hair dryer long-term. What does your hair do if you don't blow dry it?

Fine, wavy hair is going to want masses and masses of moisture.

You can go the whole curly girl - no sulphates in shampoo and no silicones in conditioner/styling products. But with fine hair you are always going to want a shampoo, not a co-wash.

I'd focus on the conditioner, more than you think is sensible and leave some in.

It probably isn't appreciating the heat styling either or the brushing. I have fine wavy hair and wouldn't even use more than fingers to style it, definitely no brushing or combing. Diffuser if you need to dry it, gel and you should have lovely waves.
