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...

Thank you! I guess I can't avoid the hairdresser for ever - I've been dreading the "yes, I actually do want it to look girly" conversation.

Looks like the CG method and moving off my current "don't care" brand shampoo is a good place to start. Here's to some experimentation :3

tbh I don't think you should worry too much!

most if not all hairdressers I've met (in the conservative area I live in) are understanding and kind, so I personally think you'll be fineπŸ€—

Power to you!🌻

Nice! You'll definitely see improvement. Don't be afraid to invest some money in products that are nice for your body. Sure, some people overdo it, but it's totally healthy to love yourself!

When it comes to the social aspect of going to the hair dresser, well, that's something you could approach as a entirely seperate topic.
