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…
The lil wavies that are already visible are SUPER promising. You’ve got a beautiful natural curl! As it gets longer it’ll start to drape more regularly under it’s own weight, and it’ll be easier to style once there’s more of it to work with.
The washing/conditioning methods in the CG doc will help bring out/emphasize your natural curl pattern. I went from kinda wavy hair to actual ringlets, and your hair looks wavier than mine was when I started!
And the great part about CG is you can tweak your results, there’s no one singular “ideal” end goal! It’s like a community of curl-scientists constantly running experiments and sharing their findings.
e: i think my instance is fucking up, sorry for the spam!
Woo, that’s encouraging :) I really like the photo in the CG doc; hopefully I can get something similar.
The hairdresser tidied it up for me (I think they got the idea that I really do want to grow it all out), but it’s looking pretty masculine still. I guess I’ll wait a few months and bring a picture next time!
