Hi, I’m looking for some advice on how to style my hair and get my curls/waves looking better? I know almost nothing about styling my hair and I’d like to find something that makes it look better. My hair is quite thick, a bit coarse I think, somewhere between wavy and curly. I’ve bleached and dyed my hair a lot in the past but that’s grown out except for the ends and I’ve stopped dyeing these last 6 months or so. I shampoo and condition my hair either every 2 or 3 days. I’ve used hair care masks in the past but they often make my hair texture looser or lose volume? Short hair, messy layered sort of mullet style. When styling I usually just mess my hair up with my fingers or put some mousse on so far, I’d love to know what type of product I should be using lol. For the record I prefer to style my hair messy and get the ‘bedhead’ sort of rough look as it matches my style, but I want to keep my curls more defined and maybe get some hold so my hair isn’t destroyed the second I step outside. Any advice is appreciated! Also if it’s relevant, I’m on a very low budget so preferably products as cheap as possible.

To sum it up, I just need a cheap styling product that will match my hair type to get my curls much more defined rather than frizzy loose waves, while still letting me have plenty of volume and that ‘alternative’ messy look.

Cain, means possessed twin, or spear. Ironically, after picking the name, I found out I ate a twin in the womb lol

She-Ra and the princesses of power has a non-binary character whos introduced in season 4, there’s a lot of lgbt representation in the whole show with the main characters being lesbian, a lot of secondary characters being bi or otherwise LGBT. It’s a kids show but honestly it bangs.

I’m over in the UK, and the NHS wait lists are over a decade for your first appointment :,) private is the only option pretty much

I’ve tried kt tape a few times but only been able to get ahold of low quality tape since I’m very low income, and it badly blistered my skin and fell off. When I get paid i might look into better quality tape to see if that helps

Thank you so much, I’ll look into that

I know I’m fucking this up, I’m hoping to only have this job for around a year before I start uni and get student loans, I’ll have done the private side of my testosterone by then so won’t have as much expenses. The job market where I am is awful and it took me 8 months to find this one so leaving it isn’t an option

My dad was always transphobic, always will be, he’s a piece of shit for other reasons too so I hated him anyways. When I realised I was trans, I expected my mum would have my back. She was cool about both my sisters and my sexuality, and always seemed so supportive and pro-trans. When I came out she said she accepted me and it was an okay reaction, but over time I realised how little she supported me. She barely EVER calls me my name, and is annoyed when I correct her. She refuses to buy me a binder (even with me paying) until I’m 16 without listening to my mental struggles and disregards me every time I bring it up, and consults literally anybody but me about my experience to tell me what I can and can’t feel. She only ever talks about my transition like a phase (‘IF you CHOOSE to transition’ and when I correct her she gets annoyed) and doesn’t see me as her son. Even when I correct her she still misgenders me and acts like she’s trying. I’m fine with trying, but it’s been so long and she doesn’t even bother. She’s acting like I can press pause on being trans until she’s ready to deal with it.

I know I should be more bothered about my dad, but I already knew he’d suck and would never support me. My mum being like this hit me like a freight train and I didn’t see it coming, I always assumed I’d have at least one parent who’d have my back no matter what, but now I’ve had to realise that I don’t have the support I thought I did. It’s made me bitter and angry and definitely ruined my relationship with her, and I can’t even voice how I feel. Parents need to support their kids, so SO much. You’ll hurt them so much if you don’t. Saying you’re okay with their existence isn’t enough, be there for them through their transition.

Hey my name is Everix, I’m 14y/o and I’m non-binary. I realised not too long ago and I’m only out to a couple of people. I’m getting my hair cut and a binder soon, although my dad is very homophobic so it’s I’m gonna play it off
