It’s been about 11 months since my last haircut (usually have the generic white guy undercut fade with longish hair on top).

I have thick, wavy hair that grows heavy and outward, instead of long and downward. I also get these random kinks and curls throughout, and it just doesn’t look good in my opinion. Some days I think it looks cute, but most days I’m starting to feel like Ted Kacynzski.

I wash it 2-3 times a week and condition 1-2 times a week, then just towel dry it and throw a beanie on.

Do you have any advice?

    don't break covid protocol to get your hair cut; at that point just get someone in your pandemicule to cut your hair.

    there are a bunch of products you can try to tame it. pomade comes to mind. waxes, mooses, oils... stuff to style and keep it in place. most of all though, i recommend getting either a wide-tooth wooden or boar bristle brush. really helps distribute the oils in your hair and tame those curls

      I do need to look into getting a brush. I use a wide toothed comb like this after I get out of the shower and dry it, but that's about the extent of work I put into it.

      I'll do some more reading about products I can put into it to make it less flat.

        yea that wet brush is great, but on days when you're not washing your hair a dry brush can do wonders. it also helps you go for longer between washes
