Help with hair product recommendations

Okay so here is my unruly hair. Lol my hair is soooo strange! It’s got a little wave to the top half but is flat and then underneath it likes to wave and curl up (in these pictures I did run my fingers through my hair several times that day which broke some of it up). My hair is thick, coarse and often frizzy until like day 3 after washing. I wash on Mondays and Thursdays. I’m having a hard time finding a shampoo and conditioner I like. I don’t want anything high end or that’s going to cost me so much money. I’ve already spent enough trying to find something. Im not a huge fan of the CG method because it uses a lot of butters or coconut oil which weighs my hair down and causes me body acne. I do clarify every other week because I don’t use a lot of product on my hair so I don’t get build up from that. I do get dry patches or something like dandruff and it seems no matter what I do it’s there. I don’t like head and shoulders and any dandruff shampoo has not worked for me. Soooo please drop some recommendations or your hair routine if you have similar hair to mine. This is my day 4 hair but the first two days it’s so frizzy and fluffy lol and just out of control.

... Read moreFinding the right hair care products for unique hair types can be challenging, especially when dealing with thick, coarse, and frizzy hair. Many individuals face similar struggles, such as managing waves and curls or preventing dandruff-like symptoms. One common suggestion is to look for sulfate-free shampoos, as they help reduce frizz without stripping natural oils from the hair. Additionally, volumizing conditioners can provide moisture without weighing your hair down. Many users recommend lightweight leave-in conditioners or styling creams with natural ingredients that hydrate and tame frizz. It's also helpful to consider products designed for your specific hair needs, like frizz control or curl enhancing. Reading online reviews or visiting beauty forums on platforms like Lemon8 can provide valuable insights from others with similar hair types. It may also be worth exploring natural remedies or homemade hair masks that cater to your hair issues, ensuring you steer clear of heavy oils that may lead to breakouts. Lastly, remember that hair care is personal; what works for one person may not work for another. Trying out a few different products, keeping tabs on how your hair reacts, and adjusting accordingly can lead to the ideal routine. Don’t hesitate to gather feedback and recommendations from your community, as shared experiences can provide guidance in finding your perfect products.

so I use this. you can get it at Walmart and it has helped me so much. I have the same problem with my hair exactly, but it curls underneath and is mostly flat on top and this really helped me. I think it's around $8 per bottle but it works. hope this is within budget 🩷
