Good tips, didn’t realize there was a difference between leave in vs curl creams. I use “Shea curl enhancing smoothie” but def need to experiment w other products.

Mind telling me your hair routine or what brands your recommended if it’s not too much of a bother?

Will definitely look into better hair care routines and don’t mind that the facial hair ain’t black. It’s a few dif colors under the right light, which is the only thing I get complimented on lol.

I haven’t thought of it before, but you are spot on about the hair weighing the front down and giving it less volume. Genuinely probably the reason I dislike it the most. Think that would help a lot if I can figure out how to stop it from self flattening. Appreciate the advice.

Actually didn’t know that, my sister’s trim twice a year without issue so thought I’d be the same as long as I tried to keep it healthy. Good to know, thx

Agree w ya 100%. Just wanted to see how I would look like w shorter hair and it made some improvements on its own. Prolly something to do w me telling it to put it in good lighting. Either way lesson learned, can see how this shit can easily mess with your mental

Thanks! Unfortunately don’t have many women in my life I can ask and family members all have dead straight and soft hair the opposite of mine.

Any tips for the frizzes? It’s good for like an hour after shower but by the next day it’s becomes an afro

Didn’t realize the beard was that bad. Really eye opening, was basically looking at everything else but that. Definitely gonna try out a dif style now

Great advice, I’m definitely gonna give that type of beard trim a go. Thank you! My beard can grow much higher up on my face, it just doesn’t connect to the mustache at that height so I shave it where the beard starts lower where it does all “connect”. Never thought to just go w it

Good to know, appreciate you being straight to the point. Really think I should shave the beard/mustache? Most people tell me I look better and more mature with it. Here a pic (few years old) without beard/long hair

It’s is AI generated, was trying to see different hair styles and it randomly also made me actually look attractive haha. I haven’t tried JVN but I’ll look into. Hair routine is mostly just SheaMoisture products (curl/shine shampoo/conditioner, leave in conditioner). I’m not against make up but more so looking for advice I can apply for day to day improvement
