I had the same problem! I would let my hair grow, and when it got really heavy and frizzy it would weigh me down. Then I would get it cut shorter, but it wasn't the right solution. When I went to Greece this summer, I happened to get my hair cut. It turned out awesome because she added so many, short layers. The top of my hair got more volume and bounce because it wasn't as weighed down. I love my hair now....its layered, straight, and texturized or kinda thinned out to avoid unnecessary bulk. You might want to try getting more layers and added a smoothing product for the frizz!
