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?

    Good luck!! Half of having wavy/curly/coily hair is just not knowing what to do with it so just have fun with it!!

    Long layers can kind of weigh down the hair and give it a more tamed look. Too erratic of layers has the opposite effect of just creating a like wild halo look. If you are in a in-between stage a lot of it is just waiting for the hair to grow out honestly and looking a bit awkward. I've had aunt hair cuts too for sure. The products you should use depend both on your curl pattern and the density and porosity of your hair.

    Air-drying is a great start!! It helped me a ton to cut down on frizz and let the natural pattern do it's thing. :)
