So I had my hair cut about a month ago. I did it because my hair started to look really thin even though it barely reached below my bust-line. It just looked unhealthy overall especially after I had it chemically straightened.

My hair now is shoulder-length, and I feel like I don't look as feminine anymore especially when I wear it straight. It doesn't help that my kibbe type leans more towards soft-natural rather than gamine type.

I'm thinking of bringing my natural hair texture back and stop using a straightener, but I really can't afford using 10 products just so that it doesn't look frizzy.

I really want to start liking my new haircut and not feel crappy whenever I step outside. Any advice?
