Hair Help!!!

Hi guys!

I could really use some hair advice. This is how my hair looks natural (with leave-in conditioner and anti frizz cream) but I absolutely hate how it looks like this. It looks so *blah* to me. I love how it looks when I straighten it, but it takes more time and I'm in a different country right now where I can't use my straightener.

Can anyone recommend some hair styles or products I can use to make it look more neat? I don't know much about hair so I'd appreciate the advice!! Thx :)

(The last slide is me with straight hair)
