Background: I started getting my hair relaxed in my early teens for manageability. I did sports in high school and wasn't going to give it up, so I knew "salon fresh" wasn't sustainable. My mom would help me wash and cornrow my hair in between relaxers (~9 weeks).
At present, I'm 8 months into transitioning to natural. I know there aren't a ton of studies on black hair care products, but figured I could make a potentially healthier move away from relaxers. I'd started stretching them to 4ish months a few years ago since all I was going to do is sweat when I run. My hairdresser has been super supportive.
Challenges (along with learning all about my natural hair):
Hair comments from others: No one's ever said anything negative about my hair with working out that I can recall. People have been curious how I manage my hair, or will remark it looks curlier, but other than that not much. I even come back from lunch workouts with slightly sweaty hair and no one bats an eye.
Hair type and usual style: My hair is armpit length with about 4-5 inches of it stupid thick, 3c, coarse, and dry. Usually worn in a ponytail/bun. This week I did 2 big braids and called it a day. It's definitely helped keep it from tangling.
Daily/weekly/monthly hair care routine
I'm still on the hunt for products as I know my hair could use more TLC. Totally open to suggestions. My hair gets curlier with moisture and I get wispy/soft frizzies all over and even with edge wax idk how to combat that.

I have a shoulder length bob and am 2B on top and a 2C underneath. Here is what my current routine is:
In shower:
I still have a little more frizz than I'd like, so I'm looking for a new product to help with that and I just bought this hooded bonnet to dry my hair instead of using the diffuser.
My waves have really amped up since I've gone CG. I am so thrilled with how they've improved over the past 2 years and am never going back.
(edit: grammar and format)
Get this aphogee: just the protein bottle of the 2 step treatment and use your deep moisture mask of choice for the "second step." 2 minute treatment is completely different and weak compared. This is an actual protein treatment like you'd get at a salon.
It's awkward the first time. You need to wash with a clarifying shampoo, towel dry, then add the liquid protein into your hair in sections. It gets really sticky once it starts drying and you'll want to refrain from touching your hair too much once it is actually dry because protein makes it rock hard and it will rip out or break of you pull hard enough. Once you're saturated, the best thing to do is use a hair dryer with a bonnet attachment like this but a diffuser will work as well. Heat will make the process faster and technically stronger but you can also air dry but it will take a while and gets uncomfortable with super sticky protein soaked hair.
After your hair is dry, wash it out completely. Take a few minutes to get it all out. Use a good deep conditioner after since your hair will feel dry and stiff from the protein right after. I like to leave it in for at least 30 min and add heat if I'm up for it.
Usually, my hair feels decent right after everything is done but it's truly magical after the 1st wash a few days post treatment. I get better culrs than I've ever had in my life, stronger hair, and need less styling products than normally.
My hair loves protein too but not even the strongest protein conditioner or leave in comes close to what a true protein treatment can do.
It's recommended to be repeated every few months after that and you can judge yourself.
I use a soft bonnet attachment like this (you need a hair dryer to be able to use it). I put on the treatment, then a plastic cap, then sit under this for about fifteen to twenty minutes while I watch a TV show (with subtitles) or read.
Hey I just want to say that I really hear your struggle and frustration in this post. I think your hair looks really beautiful but I know its been pissing you off big time!
Your hair screams low porosity to me. I have high porosity so I'm on the other end of the struggle (currently battling super frizz life), but I've watched enough hair videos to know that heat is a low porosity gal's best friend. Hot water and heat caps seem to be the bare minimum of lo-po technique.
I found a heat cap that attaches to your hair dryer here:

Forgive me if you already have tried or considered these things but for $22 I'd definitely try out the cap.
Also you mentioned trying all the oils and creams in the book, but say argan is your current go-to. In my opinion argan is too light. I don't think it penetrates the hair shaft as well as olive oil. I'm high porosity and while argan makes my hair nice and soft, it does nothing for the frizzies around my crown. Only olive oil controls them for me.
I have yet to try Jamaican black castor oil but I have heard that is a super thick/penetrating oil as well.
I wish you luck! Don't give up hope!
