Your hair sounds very like mine & the colouring too. I don’t think I’ve found a holy grail shampoo & conditioner but here are some I really like. Kerastase - the white bottle (nutivie or something) or the pink gloss one. Color wow shampoo & conditioner (& I use their blow dry spray too, it’s in a silver bottle, a spray, I think it’s called coat). I quite like the Philip Kingsley stuff. And if those shampoos were more expensive than you planned the John Freida Brazilian straight is very good & reasonably priced.

I found Sol de Janeiro, although expensive, to be good at keeping the fine fly away stuff in control.

I have very similar hair to you. Kerastase Masquintense is the best but very pricey. I tend to use the Frizz ease deep conditioning mask as a day to day conditioner and also works quite well.
The single best thing I have found for the flyaways is the ‘FrizzFighter’ attachment that came with my Shark hairdryer. It is AMAZING at smoothing the crazy, wirey hairs that are always poking up on top of my head

Kerastase shampoo & agree about the masque as a conditioner. I use John Frieda Frizz ease, (Just a few squits, rubbed in your hands and then lightly smoothed over). I also use a really old fashioned product Schwarzkopf shine tonic! I order it on eBay as you can’t really get it in the shops anymore. It somehow makes your hair softer.

Should have added I also second frizz ease
