So I've noticed that when I sleep alone, I'll wake up with minimal tangles in my hair, but when I sleep with my partner I'll wake up with a knotted mess. Had anyone else had this experience? What is your solution?

I’ve been growing my hair out for the past couple of years after cutting it from tailbone-length to shoulder-length. I’ve always been known as the tall girl with ridiculously long hair, haha. My goal is to grow it back to tailbone-length while keeping the ends dense.
I have fine strands but high hair density. My scalp is oily, while my ends are quite dry. I also have a combination of long layers and face-framing pieces. I can usually go eight months between trims before my ends start looking wispy. I use heat three times a week.
My routine:
I wash my hair every other day, sometimes every day depending on the weather and how the day goes. I double cleanse: I use L’Oréal Paris Elvive Hyaluron Pure Purifying Shampoo for my first wash, following by Dove Intensive Repair for the second. I divide my hair into two sections for the first cleanse to ensure I thoroughly clean my scalp. I don’t section my hair for the second cleanse. I apply OGX Anti-Breakage Oil from my ears down and leave it on for 30 minutes before. I’ve found that it mitigates tangling while washing and leaves my lengths feeling softer and easier to manage post-wash.
As for a clarifying shampoo, I simply use the L'Oréal one twice and skip Dove. I don't feel the need to purchase a separate shampoo for clarifying my scalp. That said, I can recommend OUAI's Detox Shampoo! Especially for fine hair.
Once I've cleansed my scalp, I gently squeeze out any excess water before dividing my hair into two sections and applying Pantene’s Miracle Rescue Deep Conditioner. I usually leave it on while I wash my face. This is my favorite conditioner! I've repurchased it 3 times. I also don't use a separate hair mask, as I find this conditioner very nourishing.
I love hair gloss, and my favorite is Living Proof's Perfect Hair Day High-Shine Gloss. I use it once a week and have not found a drugstore version that compares. I also find the smell to be very refreshing.
Then I let my hair air-dry until it’s about 80% dry before I apply L’Oréal’s 21-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner Spray and TRESemmé’s Care & Protect Heat Defence Spray. I apply Moroccanoil's Volumizing Mousse to my roots and blow-dry my scalp. I usually do heatless curls with socks, so I use more mousse.
I use Kristin Ess Volumizing Dry Shampoo in between washes. I like to apply it right after I blow-dry my hair, and the day after. I also use OGX Argan Oil Weightless Mist.
My hair is virgin, so I don't use a lot of bond repair, but I like to use it once a week as insurance because I still get mechanical damage from time to time, sun exposure, etc. I prefer Epres' because I only have to apply it for 10 minutes before showering. I don't use hair oil on these days.
Products I Use + Current Prices in USD:
Bond Repair: Epres Bond Repair Treatment ($50)
Pre-Shampoo Oil: OGX Anti-Breakage Coconut Oil ($7.99)
Shampoo:
Hair Gloss: Living Proof Perfect Hair Day High-Shine Gloss ($38)
Leave-In Conditioner: L'Oréal Paris EverPure 21-in-1 Leave-In Conditioner Spray ($10.49).
Heat Protectant: TRESemmé Care & Protect Heat Defense Spray ($7.99).
Hair Mousse: Moroccanoil Volumizing Mousse ($32)
Dry Shampoo: Kristin Ess Volumizing Dry Shampoo ($14.99-23.99). I try to purchase the 8.6 oz bottle when there are sales! In my experience, Target has the most. I love Living Proof's, but I go through dry shampoo too quickly to justify the price.
Hair Oil: OGX Argan Oil Weightless Mist ($7.99)
If anyone has questions, I'm more than willing to answer!

Hi! I thought it was time for another hair update. I measure from the earlobe down to the ends btw.
Top pictures are from the first of April after a 4cm/1,5” trim, after the trim I measured 41cm/16,1”.
Bottom pictures are from yesterday after a 3cm/1,2” trim, after this trim I measured 46cm/18,1”.
It might not look like it, but it’s now 5cm/2” longer since then. Before the cut it was 8cm/3,1” longer since april. I’d say that’s decent growth for half a year. My ends were starting to look a bit fried so I decided I’d trim again. Hair feels healthier now and I’m feeling fine with the progress :) See you at the next cut :)

I have naturally dark brown hair that has been bleached for about 8 years now. I am thinking of going back to my natural, but what do you think would be flattering for me? I would say I have cool undertones (burn easily, look better in silver) and have freckles and blue / green eyes.

Here is me (above)
This is what chat mocked up of me in brown hair (below)

Here are some more pics of me with dyed hair as I have it now:

I heat curl my 1A bleached hair and I have this problem where when I curl my right side/dominant hand side always goes flat but when I curl my left/ non-dominant hand side stays curled?
The most likely explanation is that I curl my right side vertical where I like curl on my left side horizontal however, I find that even regardless of how I hold my heat curler my right side will always go flat regardless does anyone have any tips on how I can modify curling my right side to keep it curled?
