My hair is really strange, it is very thick and heavy- its like having twice the amount of hair a normal person would, but my strands arent thick. When I use a hair dryer and brush, it looks straight but when It is damp and dries naturally it looks kind of wavy. What strange is that when I go to different countries \[I live in England\] like America \[Boston/NY\] my hair goes static- when I brush it with the same brush that works fine in England, but in Massachusetts the hair flies up, same in Poland but less common and not as bad as in America.

* For my normal routine I use *Herbal essences petal soft rose scent shampoo* twice, then I put my hair in a turban for a couple minutes. I then add coconut oil on my ends before hair drying on max heat with max speed, to get it super dry asap cuz I don't want to keep anyone waiting and catch a cold, since my hair is so thick that drying takes ages.
* I don't do anything but brush my hair before I sleep with no refresh routine, I don't own any curly hair products or diffuser. I only rly use coconut oil cuz my ends get a bit dry after washing, despite my hair getting oily fast.

1. Today was hot so I decided to let it dry naturally 
2. I used a new shampoo *Herbal Essences Fiji lightweight hydration coconut extract shampoo*, and *Herbal essences petal soft rose scent shampoo* \[used once and rinsed for each shampoo\]. 
3. Then I put my hair in a turban 30 seconds-1 minute, and used the towel to dry my hair by putting it over my head and lightly scrubbing it starting from the top and going down but mainly focussing on the top. 
4. Then I added some coconut oil on the ends and dried the top of my head with the hair dryer \[max heat max speed\] and stopped when it was damp since the summer heat will dry the rest for me.

As it dried it looked a bit different to my normal hair, my hair would get a bit wavy when I'd get out the pool and take off my swimming cap or let it dry in the sun, I thought it was from the chlorine or smthn. When I was 10-11 I though I had straight/wavy hair but all my friends didn't believe me and said that I had straight hair and was deluding myself cuz beach waves were trendy back then.   
  
But when its damp it looks wavy, I thought it would go away as it dried but its all dried now and looks like this. Any ideas on what my hair type is or what type of products/routine I need to use cuz I'm pretty sure I have waves and my high school friends from 7 years ago gaslit me.

[This is what it looks like now that its all dried up, this is the routine where I let it naturally dry.](https://preview.redd.it/xw5ja1m3l7dh1.png?width=1166&format=png&auto=webp&s=2afdc53841703537131e229c21ab4a61c368007b)

[My hair also does weird shit like this after same routine, so I'm genuinely lost. All I did in that pic was brush my hair and whip my hair up and down a handful of times.](https://preview.redd.it/grugz7p9r7dh1.png?width=2448&format=png&auto=webp&s=184a15f02d9ff4436b6591f864601e4241082147)
