What might I need???

Besides a facelift:)

I do not know what to do with this do! I am 67 and starting to find the grey variety and boy are they stubborn! I just yank them out if they get in my way! If I just comb them straight and let them dry, that doesn't work. They want to move so then I get all these flingy I wings and random waves. have tried blow drying them straight and then they are flat. I flat iron them to straight and then they again are flat straight but nice and shiny:) Difusers do not work because they blow all the "fly away" hair and the shorter ones up, then if it is humid I have a mini Brillo pad head. I tried shorter and had the same problems for short hair. I use to wear them long, down past my shoulders but same "hair" issues. Different lenghts=same hair problems. Any ideas without breaking the bank? I do use Dove S/C. H&S a day or 2 and once in awhile clarifying. I don't like a lot of product in my hair and no cast so I am pretty much SOL and just learn to embrace my....hair? The first 3 are wet and the last 2 are dry. Did nothing.

Do Expensive Hair Tools Outperform the Cheap Versions?

I have always used the basic stuff over the years. Drugstore hair dryers and straighteners have always worked well for me, they heat up, they do the job and that's just it. But while I was at my sister’s place recently, I used her’s that was more high end and it felt nicer. Now, I can’t tell if it actually did anything different or I was just expecting it to… you know real vs placebo.

I've read reviews of high end ones on Alibaba and its like people have
totally different experiences. For those of you who may have used both, was there a point you thought “okay yeah, this is better”? Or are you like me?

I guess what I am asking is, Is there a difference in how your hair looks or feels? Is it just the brand and build quality?

Maybe it depends a lot on hair type. Mines kinda in between (not super thick, not super fine). Maybe that’s why I wouldn’t notice it as much.

64 years old. Long fine wavy hair. 4 and 1/2 years growth. Cut 6 in off 8 months ago. The taper in the back has not been cut in. It is all natural.

Should I cut it again?
