Hello everyone. I'm looking for some advice on my hair. The top of my hair is straight very smooth and shiny but the bottom (~beginning around the shoulders) is always dry frizzy and crazy no matter what I do with it (and lots of split ends). Also in the sun it looks yellow (in real life it looks a bit as if I had bleached my ends but I never colored my hair). I know I have curly hair but I really hate how it looks after styling the curls (because at top it stays almost straight and at bottom it's very tight curls like 2c or 3a and honestly I dont think curly hair suits me very well)
I've used heat on my hair quite many times in the past year often without heat protectant, I've had hair botox treatment (should be smoothing but didn't really do much) and also I've been brushing it when it was wet and using those blowdryer brushes with bristles but I'm definitely going to stop that now. A few years ago my hair was so much fuller and thicker. I mean it was still thin hair but the strands were probably less damaged hence it looked much fuller and healthier. Then I cut it short and I've been growing my hair out for a bit more than a year now but it never grew back the same as before. I would really like to get my old hair back. Do you guys have any advices? How much do you think I should cut?
