tealBumblebee, ALL of those are very beautiful.
Does the person who cuts it have curly hair? Seems like a silly question, but they generally know how to cut it to give it a good shape.

I think I read somewhere that too much protein can make it frizz...

I have long hair because depression kinda makes you not give a darn. Occasionally I get it together.
I have learned to try to avoid heat and use lots of moisture. And buy hair toys to put it up or french braid it.
