Dear Jellybean,

I have really wavy hair, but i never like how it looks natural anymore. I always straighten it and i'm getting bored of that, for once i just want to go natural. Right now i have my hair so damaged, which is another reason why i want to stop straightening it. I'm getting my hair cut soon, and i was wondering if you have any advice for my type of hair. It goes down to half my back, so it's longish, and i want to keep it that long, and only cut the tips, but i'm willing to get my layers cut shorter; with whatever you think would suit me (i have an oval face).

I was also wondering if you have any hairdo's for my hair after the hair cut, and how my waves can stay cute and not too frizzy or 'deformed'. My hair also tends to be flat on top, and when it dries, even if i put an anti-frizz lotion, it looks kind of dry and out of control!, do you recommend mousse, another anti-frizz lotion, or what?...i'm open for anything that's not too espensive. One more thing, school's almost over, i'm moving this summer, and i'm going to be out to the beach and with friends a lot, are there any hair lotions that i need for humid/warm places? I'd be great if there was one product that could do all this, but if there isn't then it doesn't matter, just please help me stop my horrible habit, before my hair looks like a scarecrow's!
