I have run out of hope. My hair is so hard to control. I hate that I have to straighten it all the time, but my natural hair is a mess:

Obviously the left half has been straightened. The right is natural with a little hair cream.
(Yes, this photo is a disaster as is purely for reference reasons. Leave me alone 
)
My natural curls are really small and tight, which gives me the messy afro effect. IDEALLY I would like looser, long curls with less volume. For example:

Of course, I know you can do this with irons- but is there a method I could use while my hair is still wet so that it will dry this way overnight?
Thank you!
Bam. 1 more example:

My hair is naturally very dry, but that’s the one thing I have under control. I use Aragon oil and deep conditioner all the time.
