I think your hair looks lovely.
I can also understand about bad stages in hair length. Mine was at just above BSL. Limited in updos and yet looked terrible down. But since I have got past that my hair seems less frizzy and I can do a huge variety of updos. I am sure that you will like your hair better once your hair gets longer.
As far as frizz and humidity, I have found that doing an ACV every "wash" day really helps. Also, I have given up on using poo. I just CO now or use baking soda in my CO. Poo for me is so drying. A lot of curlies just CO because of the "stripping" poo's do to the hair. You may want to give this a try. You'll find the frizzies will be much calmer even in humid weather.
Hope things work out for you during this difficult hair phase.

"There are times when only a dog will do for a friend: when you're beaten, sick and blue, and the world's all wrong; for he won't care. If you break and cry, or grouch and swear; for he'll let you know as he licks your hands that he's downright sorry and understands." -Don Blanding (1894-1957)
