I need to be able to manage my thick, frizzy,curly hair!?

I have insainly thick curly hair. It doesn't look good curly and i have to straighten it every day. My hair is so damaged. I need to know how to make it straighter, quicker and easier. I need ideas for a hairstyle that's easy to manage, has layers and bangs, and is a little longer than shoulder length. Anything helps! thanks :]

also some tips

Useing a medium/small round brush or a flat panel brush. Gently turn the brush as you dry each section of your hair to help with smoothing.

Use a hairdryer with a nozzle attachment that will direct the flow of the hair onto a small section of your hair. (on a colder setting if possible.

Apply product when hair is freshly damp and blow-dry as soon as possible to get the smoothest texture.

AND DO NOT use really large round brushes - they are difficult to maneuver and can give your hair more volume. You want a medium or small brush or flat panel to give you optimal smoothness and help you achieve a nice curl at the ends.

OMG! I feel your pain! I have the exact same hair. Except I have no time to straigten it every day and I have to tie it in a ponytail EVERY DAY! And its a weird ponytail becuase the front looks straight and the ponytail is super curly. But my recent haircut isn't that bad. I got it cut to around my shoulders (when its curly) and I got her to thin it out a bit. Also, she gave me layers and bangs in the front. With the bangs, they are just little curls in front of my face. But when I straighten them, they're like side bangs. The only problem is that my hair is longer in the back which looks fine when I straighten it but really weird when its curly.
