SPIN PINS. They are the miracle you've been waiting for. I have mid-length thin hair, but they were recommended to me by a former coworker with the waist length, thick beautiful hair. All you do is swirl your hair into a bun and then 'screw' the twisted bobby pin through the bun. IT took me a couple times to figure out how to get a tight hold, but once you figure that out you are gold! And the best part is that when I put my hair up when its a bit wet, I have the most beautiful wavy curls when I take it down later!
The Goody brand pins are great, but expensive for how many pins you get. I only need one with my shorter, thin hair but my friend definitely used two for a stable bun. I've also bought these off-brand pins which are exactly the same thing for way less. I bought those in a gold metallic color and I haven't noticed any chipping or other aging marks on the metallic paint.
Do yourself a favor and try them out. I promise you they are magic!
Your hair looks super thick and healthy! So kudos for that. I would suggest that you get a copy of this book and follow her recommendations. It will change your hair. I was given a copy of it five or six years ago and I've never looked back. My hair went from frizzy mess to beachy waves. I didn't know it was possible!
Some tips I've learned along the way:
I would also suggest a trim...you look like you could use a couple inches taken off the ends. Curly hair does well with layers. Also, you should totally get on the blue dye idea!! It would look awesome. The ladies at /r/fancyfollicles could help you with that. Plenty of 'em have wild hair. Manic Panic makes awesome dyes...Atomic Turquoise is my favourite! If you leave it in for a few hours the colour lasts a good long time.
I got my hair cut a few weeks ago and I love how my stylist curled it (see photos). With the new cut, my hair is longer in the front and has layers in the back. My stylist used two curling irons (1 inch and a smaller one, maybe 3/4 inch). I have a 1 inch curling wand but I just can't get my hair to look like it did when she curled it! I can't seem to get the curl close to the roots like she did and I'm so frustrated. I've watched many youtube videos but I can't get it to look right. Does anyone have any tips for getting this look? I've been curling away from my face, but should I alternate? Is my curling wand the issue -- should I buy a curling iron? I'm considering this Conair one and maybe the 3/4 inch one as well because they're cheap and have good reviews.
I would also love product recommendations (especially heat protectant)! I currently use the Kristin Ess Weightless Shine Working Serum (it's good but not amazing) and the Loreal elnett strong hold hairspray (I hear flexible hold is better for curling?). My hair is naturally wavy and frizzy, and I typically blow dry my hair before curling. I'd prefer drugstore or Sephora recommendations. Thanks!
This might be more wavy than you want but you could always get a three barrel curler. https://www.amazon.com/Alure-Barrel-Curling-Temperature-Display/dp/B06WRSWG6M
I think if you did this and pinned the one side a bit you could easily pull off the classic wavey style like in the Great Gatsby. You can get some super cute clips/pins too!
Definitely get a heat spray though. My favorite is Restyle by Burma, not sure if you can get it where you are but I have been using it for a few years. It smells nice and is cruelty free which is an added bonus!
Blue shampoo (overtone makes one) would be better to get rid of the orange than purple shampoo which is for yellowness. I use this shampoo in platinum for bi-weekly brightening but I think the blue shade on the ends would bust the orange right out. Don’t leave it on for longer than 5 mins though or you’ll risk your hair actually being blue. I also really, really recommend the platinum one if you want a more cool, ash toned platinum — my hair is naturally a bit red so it gets brassy so easily!
Per my stylist’s advice to me in the past, you can also try blue/purple dye on the hair for like 30 seconds and wash it off right away
PS they sell this shampoo at ultra so if you use the blue just once to get the orange out you could return it for a refund lol 🤷🏼♀️ gotta be resourceful!
For your bangs, a few easy but low-maintenance suggestions (you may already be doing one or both, but!)
Based on your inspo photos, you could probably do some variation of photo 1, 2, or 6 (6 being the easiest) BUT they're all going to require heat stying and 1 & 2 are going to require adding curl/waves, so more heat styling. Your hair is short so it's not a massive time commitment from a hair length perspective, but it is a daily time commitment nonetheless! <3 The only thing that might change that is if you have natural curl/wave in your hair that a product could emphasize so you could do less work. People with natural texture can use products to their advantage that way sometimes. The rest of us gotta work for it :'(
Tools:
The trick is to loosen what you can with your fingers, use the comb to pull out more, get in with the fingers again. Use the brush when you have a chunk of hair that’s freed from the mass. Work slowly. Use detangler as needed but otherwise keep the hair mostly dry — wet strands will stretch and break too easily. Thank powers that be red heads are genetically inclined to a slightly higher pain tolerance because it’s going to pull sometimes.
Getting this out is totally doable, but it’s gonna be a time-consuming bih. Source: successfully combed out a full head of twelve-year-old natural dreadlocks in 2A hair, and other younger sets on various hair types 1-3.
I use shimmering lights.
https://www.amazon.com/Clairol-Professional-Shimmer-Lights-Shampoo/dp/B000TBVGBM it does really well for me and if I leave it on for a little too long it leave a very soft lavender color which I enjoy but you may not. I usually condition my hair..use that shampoo and then conditioner another time and it hasn’t dried out my hair too much. I would recommend a good leave in conditioner.
If you’re thinking of a color difference I would just recommend you have a toner put in your hair to also help get rid of the brassy(if you do not like the look)
Other people I know who have used Paul M has said it was god awful for drying out their hair. So you’re not alone!
My hair is similar to yours, and about 7 months ago I got really tiered if my go to dos "down and natural," messy bun," and "sleek sock bun." I also got really tired of every morning trying to figure out what I wanted to do with my hair, so I decided to have a hair "uniform." Every work day my hair is the exact same.
I part to the left (always have), twist the right side (bangs) into kind of of a Dutch twist and bring that back to a low ponytail behind/below my right ear. For the left side I just smooth it back and join it in to the low pony.
From here I'll braid the pony tail and roll it up into a bun and secure with a spin pin
This works for me as a simple, quick, everyday, professional look. I felt like my hair was too long for the look I wanted to present professionally and made me look much younger than I am so an updo was my best option.
I do also love a sleek sock bun
Good luck!
I'm pretty sure, I'm lazy and just order everything. For moisture I use NuNaat Silicon mask, for protein I use Aphogee Two Minute treatment and as a leave-in Redken Anti Snap smells and works amazing. I do heat both the treatments. If you don't want to get the bonnet, you can just as easily put on a shower cap and wave your dryer about your head for 15 minutes... ;)
Here's an idea I think you'll appreciate as a hands-on field geologist.
This undercut would really suit you. Add the pink roots on top and you'll have a ridiculously rad combo.
Besides looking totally fabulous, the beauty of this style is you can easily maintain it yourself for months at a time without it ever getting remotely mullety. All you need is a simple cordless trimmer. Just set the trimmer to a length of 3/8" (i.e. #3 guard) and go over the back and sides every 1-2 weeks with the top part held or clipped up out of the way.
You can experiment with the length setting to shake things up a bit. Each trim will take you less than 5 minutes, and you can even use that cordless trimmer in the shower for no mess.

I used to not blow dry my hair because I couldn't get a hang of the motion. BUT there is a great tool (Here on Amazon ) that allows you to kind of blow dry as you brush. I have pretty thick hair and it worked great for getting a fake "blow out" look. Just very natural hair.
Towel dry, add a heat protectant (I like Paul Mitchell), flip your hair upside down, and brush your hair from the top and from underneath. When it looks mostly dry, flip it right side up, find your part, and use a kind of flippy motion to brush the last of it dry.
I'm slowly graduating to a round brush and a standard dryer, but this has been my hair hack for the last five years!
It usually contains a lot of silicones and/or waxes. They make your hair feel awesome short term, but some people's hair doesn't do well with them as an everyday treatment.
You can buy the Feria version at Sally Beauty Supply or Amazon (the Sally link is cheaper).
I would suggest investing in a round blow dryer like this and using a texturizing mousse or spray like Rusk spray or Bumble& Bumble mousse to give you some lift. You can use the blow dryer to start from the roots to lift for volume, then towards the ends blow dry one way, and over-correct it so it turns out more straight.
I could never get the hang of regular blow dry and brush techniques. That round dryer is a life saver and dries super fast :)
edit: the dryer I have linked is not the one that I have, but its similar. Try looking for something with soft we bristles too.
i think both of these work great for growing thick hair!

I love this sideswept look. Blow dry your hair in the direction you want it to move, put paste in your fingertips and apply to the ends first, then kind of just smoosh on the flat side and pull on the full side. If that's too much trouble, I like the forward-swept look you have!
I have this one and I love it!
You're going to want something with the key words "copper", "gold", or "auburn"... Try one of these?

It has no lifting ability, only deposits color and lasts about a week. https://www.amazon.com/Keracolor-Clenditioner-Depositing-Conditioner-Colorwash/dp/B072HX5ZZS/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?crid=233WYYEV1CU91&amp;keywords=keracolor%2Bclenditioner&amp;qid=1566316607&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=Kerac%2Caps%2C190&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySENIUzRIVUpGRFFLJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzUwMjc5TzNBMVk2TjQ1RzJEJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4Njg4NjgzNzROTUtGVDhWQkdHJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ&amp;th=1
I use this crazy looking curler since I’m terrible using wands or single barrel curlers and then I brush the out for a bit to make them look a bit loose and unintentional and then I spray it down with a medium gold spray! Sometimes I also use beach club by igk if I am going for the messy beach wave look.
Everyone's hair is different obviously, so what works for me may not work for you but I had a similar problem. I wash my hair about twice a week and use dry shampoo in between washes. There are tons of different brands out there and you just have to find one that works for you. I use Lush no drought dry shampoo. I have waves and it actually makes my waves more manageable. I also use Devacurl no poo cleanser and that has helped me tremendously.
