So I’ve spent the last few decades with very short hair. It’s naturally quite wavy, and now I’ve started growing it out, it’s sticking out in all directions and looks a total mess, particularly around the ears. What do?
I know what shampoo and conditioner are, and I think I have a comb somewhere. Can anybody point to some good absolute-beginner tutorials, or give advice? I’m sure someone’s been through the same thing…
YES, I was hoping that link was the CG doc!! This is the way!
Also consider asking your barber what kind of hair you have (thick, fine, voluminous, etc.), bc it can make a huge difference on what it needs. For example using conditioner as shampoo (co-washing) does amazing things for some people, but it can cause scalp buildup in thicker hair.
SheaMoisture is my go-to brand. Their conditioner is so concentrated you almost have to water it down, I keep an empty bottle around and do 50/50.
