Perhaps you're washing your hair too often due to the oily roots, but the ends can't take it. Buy a can of the Club talc (used in barber shops) and sprinkle a little bit on your roots, rubbing it in really well (you don't want your hair to look white). It'll absorb the excess oil so you can go one more day without washing the ends. Dry hair? The experts (and I) recommend Kiehl's Silk Groom. For loads of shiny, I use BioSilk's hair silk therapy lotion, but be careful- any product that boosts shine has an oil base to it. You only need to use the size of a pea, rub it well between your hands (the heat from your hands will make it more spreadable) and finger comb the areas that need shine. If you use too much, you'll look like Elvis, so it make take some getting used to. The real question is how much do you process your hair? If you're lightening it a lot, you're going to do some major damage, considering you swim in chlorine. Can you give up lighter color, or the flat iron, or blow drying? If none of these apply to you, go to a stylist you admire and ask for their advice.

Your main problem is the chlorine which affects the PH balance of your hair and creates dryness and frizz. Your roots are oily because your hair is overcompensating for the dryness.
I've never found infusium to be the best option or any frizz serum.
You will need the following:
Aphogee Protein Treatment
Swimmers Shampoo
Aphogee Shampoo
Non-Alcohol Gel
Biolage Daily Spray Tonic
Before you swim put conditioner on your hair and cover it (optional). The conditioner will act a barrier to the effects of the chlorine. Hair Cholesterol works well.

Here's a site with lots of info/products for curly hair:

I have curly hair; my stylist recommends putting a styling cream on my hair before swimming--and wearing a cap. The cream seals the hair to reduce damage. I like creams by Bumble & Bumble.
Also, re oily roots/dry ends--you need to brush your hair with a natural bristle brush. I know, it's hard, and your hair will get frizzy afterwards. Comb it (with your fingers or a wide-toothed comb) first so it's manageable, then brush. This moves your natural oils all throughout the hair.
You can do this before going to bed; braid your now out-of-control hair so you don't smother yourself in your sleep!
