I really need some help

Okay so, ive always had issues with my hair.

My mom has really pretty tight curls and is causcasian. My sperm donor is half Sioux and has coarser hair.

Me? Curls for days and I mean DAYS. Its pretty standard, frizzes when it gets too hot...or cold...or muggy...or rainy..ect. I have a lot of hair, but apparently its thin stranded, can anyone explain that?

Its pretty manageable, EXCEPT for this one patch on the crown of my head that is very coarse and frizzy and no amount of leave in or deep conditioning really changes it. My curls are also tighter on top and then underneath they're looser. And then theres the baby hairs.

EVERYWHERE.

My temples are where they are REALLY irritating because they dont pull back and I have to tuck them behind my ears or under my glasses or else I look like ive been electrocuted (See picture below)

They dont behave, stay down or even stay curled. They just exist in the most annoying way possible. I used to shave them off for my own sanity but im really trying to grow my hair out and leave it alone BUT THESE TRUCKERS WON'T GROW FOR SHIT!

Anyway.

I know everyone has different hair, but does anyone have any tips to how to manage it?

I use Tressemé shampoo and conditioner (please dont come after me, it works wonders on my hair compared to other products Ive tried), Mielle leave in and will use Aussie if I have it. Aussie and Tressemé have always done wonders for me. Except for the devil horns. (Also see picture below)

I really just need some good tips and tricks to use so that when I braid my hair or put it back i dont look like ive escaped a grippy sock vacation( taken three of those again dont come after me)
