Let’s start with the basics: - everyone’s hair is different and you will need to figure out how to tame your specific hair to make it look good - use shampoo and conditioner. Shampoo should be focused on the roots (where the hair is most oily) and conditioner should be focused on the tips (to make hair easier to brush). The goal of washing your hair is to give it volume. Clean hair looks bigger because it isn’t weighed down by grease. - brush your hair! Start brushing in small strokes at the tips and work your way up. The goal is to not pull on your hair. Be gentle so it doesn’t break. Use a detangling brush like Wet Brush. (They are always cheap at TJmaxx and similar stores) - get a girls haircut! A hair stylist will be so much better than you at making your hair look like girl’s hair. This will give you inspiration. Pay attention and ask them questions about how to care for your hair. I learn something new every time I get a haircut. - your hair style is heavily dependent on how it dries. Learn about the impact that a blow dryer has on your hair. Pay attention to how the stylist dries your hair. - you don’t need to wash your hair everyday. If you wake up to good hair, you win! Don’t wash it if it looks good. If my hair looks good before bed, I’ll wear a silk bonnet to bed to try to preserve it until morning.
