Do hairdressers show you how to manage your hair?

I am really struggling to manage my hair. It's fine, it's fluffy, it's soft and it's supposed to be curly but I just can't seem to get it right when even following the curly girl method. I don't know whether I should have a fringe or not, I can't scrunch my hair without causing it to get frizzy at the top, I'm using products but I just don't know if I'm using them right. I scrunch my hair upside down, and flip it so it lands where its supposed to but it always seems to land in weird places I guess because of my path??? How do I get rid of my path? I'm just so frustrated at having nice curls at the end of my hair but the top looking so weird.... Like a bad perm job and it's like half straight but frizzy and it just frustrates me so I typically comb it out while my hair is still damp.
