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?
Oh lucky!! That's a pretty manageable type tbh- it's perfectly wavy. Sometimes people have more then one type on their hair- I'm a 3B/3C. You might just have random 2B curls in a 2A pattern and that could be the reason for the random kinks/curls. It's mostly guessing tho less of a science more of a art.
Looking at the picture again, it reminds me a lot of how my hair looked when I was an emo teenager and just let it grow out for two years. Now that I'm 30 and my hairline isn't as strong as it used to be, my hair's been causing me a lot of stress and anxiety lol. But your comment made me feel really good about myself and like I can make this happen, haha. Thanks for all your input!
Of course! You can do it and anyways even disheveled curly hair has a very artist-y vibe. I wrestle with my hair like weekly honestly so I can relate. Self image is weird like that but this is the perfect time to experiment with your hair.
