Haha, I should have just added that into my original comment; a couple others just pm'd me asking, so I'll copy-paste my response:
Right now I'm using this Redken leave-in stuff which has done an amazing job getting rid of the frizz. It's the most expensive thing I use on my hair, but lasts about 3 months per bottle if I'm careful not to go overboard.
Otherwise I use fairly cheap products. This is my winter shampoo, it doesn't remove much oil, but leaves my hair super soft and helps with the straw-like feeling. This is the shampoo I use in the summer, it strips a little more oil than the Herbal Essences (which it needs when I sweat), but leave my hair less soft and a little more straw-like. For conditioner, I use this Tresemmé product, it does an amazing job of de-tangling my hair, it feels like the knots just wash out of it.
I'm not as picky for cleansing shampoos, I typically just use any of the ones my boyfriend rejects. Some of the ones that have worked well for me are Garnier Fructis, VO5 and Suave. I tend to cheap out on these, as I will use them to strip my hair on a late Saturday night, let it rest for a day and don't need to be presentable again until Monday morning.
The V05 super cheap clarifying shampoo in the starter routine has it!

It is way post-Christmas but I'd revisited your other post because I remembered your hair. My hair used to look like that.
Gurl, your hair looks seriously dry and damaged, and I think that is 99% of the reason why it looks so frizzy in these photos. I dunno if you've spent much time over at /r/curlyhair but it is worth getting there for an in-depth look. But basically, right now I would bet you shampoo your hair every day and if you use a conditioner it has silicones in it. The silicones build up in your hair, necessitating a harsh shampoo to get rid of them. This means you're constantly stripping the oils from your hair, day after day, and it's seriously messing them up. You gotta remove the silicones from your routine, stop shampooing as often, and moisturize the crap out of it.
That said, as a fellow poor person here is what I would do if I were you:
Buy
Next, it's time to
FIX DAT HAIR
Ideally your hair will look a lot smoother and more manageable at this point. Hopefully it is not limp. If it feels limp and heavy, then I apologize, I told you to use too much jojoba. Use less next time. If it is not smoother and more manageable and still looks frizzy then you need to use MORE jojoba. Whatever the case, move to the next step:
ALL DAY ERRY DAY
This is what you'll be doing to your hair on a daily basis. Notice no shampoo is used. That is fine! The VO5 conditioner is cleaning enough, promise me!
On a weekly basis--at most--you are allowed to replace the VO5 conditioner with the VO5 shampoo. But to compensate you must use extra jojoba because of all the oils you're stripping, and ideally you give it extra time to soak in. Shampoo day is usually the day when I stop being lazy and actually shave my legs and shit. I mean, ideally you shampoo less than weekly but you do what you can tolerate.
When you first start this up you might feel like your hair is extra-greasy at the roots. This is normal. Your hair is used to you using the equivalent of dish soap on it every day and has been overproducing oils to try to compensate. The oil production will back down as it gets used to your new, gentler routine. Give it time! If you are really self-conscious about it then use a soft boar-bristle-type brush to distribute the oils from root to tip.
Do NOT flat-iron or use a hair-dryer during this time period. The heat is damaging your hair further. It will make things worse. Anyway, once you see how lovely your curls are in their natural, healthy state you won't feel the need to. :)
If your hair is very thick and coarse then as you get used to the routine you may even want to finger-comb a few drops or more of jojoba oil through it while it's still damp to help moisturize, after the towel-dry. You may want to do this anyway if it's very damaged (especially at the middle and ends).
Anyway, I promise this will help. The routine took my hair from being a mess of split ends and nastiness to shiny and healthy, and it's turned my boyfriend's curly beard from a Brillo pad to a soft, bouncy cloud. It is a hell of a lot cheaper than keratin treatments and all that, too. If you go to the /r/curlyhair sub they have all sorts of product and routine suggestions, but I like using the above because they've worked for me and are comparatively cost-conscious.
You need a clarifying shampoo, and shampoo twice while in the shower. The brand V05 makes a great shampoo that gets out all product: https://www.amazon.com/Alberto-VO5-Escapes-Squeeze-Clarifying/dp/B000V9M8B4/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1QM9R8U6ZAVY9&keywords=v05+clarifying+shampoo&qid=1572809431&sprefix=v05%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-4. In the future, give a pomade a try if hairspray sticks to your hair too much (or just use less spray if that works).
>Let me know if you have more questions!
Lets say I have these 5 items here:
Do I need any more items?
If no, for the first wash using these items, what do I do?
I know you don't use the V05 shampoo for anything except the first wash, but what do I do for the first wash? After I get the first wash down, the only thing I need to do is remove the use of V05 clarifying shampoo right?
Let's say I get into the shower. Turn the water on and wash my hair and make it wet. Do I need a specific temperature of water? Let's say I add the TRESemmé conditioner. How much do I add for my amount of hair? What do I do with it? I add a certain amount to my hair, do I just let it sit there, do I massage it in, do I "scrunch it"? How long do I keep the conditioner in? Do I use the comb while in the shower working with the conditioner or during a different time? How do I use it?
In the styling portion of the beginner-routine it states that you take a large amount of gel and scrunch it into your hair. For my volume of hair, would a handful of gel be too much? What does it mean to "scrunch it in"?
In the drying portion it says to scrunch your hair with a microfiber towel, is this a different type of scrunching than the one in the styling portion? What's "plopping"? What does "scrunching out the crunch" mean?
Thanks. Sorry for so many questions.
