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…

      I really love Shea Moisture products. About once a week, a very weak mix of bicarb and filtered water to break down left-over product, and a few tbsp of Bragg’s acv, a dollop of raw honey and filtered water, shaken well, as a rinse. Acv seals the cuticle and adds gloss, honey conditions. You can still condition after. I couldn’t see the pic, got an error message, but I’ve heard good things about https://lusterproducts.com/products/wave-jel-activator s curl activator, but not tried it, yet. Anything Shea Moisture has worked well for me. Right now, I need a cut and style, and haven’t been styling and it’s very humid, so my hair is very unruly!
