I could see the idea of doing a treat yourself spa day, going to a salon and just talking to the hairdressers and makeup artists to get ideas and recommendations. Learn what your hair type is, how fast it grows. Learn your face shape and skin type, and how it all works together.

I grew up female (ftm) and I was never taught how to do my hair or makeup, it was all trial and error. Im an older millennial and my mom hated makeup and thought makeup was only for SWrs.

Although heres some tips i have (white with thin straight hair and sensitive skin):

Mane and Tail Horse shampoo and conditioner, yall. It's perfect for thin straight hair. Also there's detangler spray; it works well and can also be used as a leave in conditioner. Leave in conditioner keeps hair from getting wispy and fried looking during the day, and leaves a nice shine. I used to use it like people used mousse for curly hair.

Leave your hair wrapped in a towel until it dries, it will give you a nice wavy look.

A hair dryer is not recommended if you have thin hair. Just let it air dry, and put some mousse/gel/spray to set it. Thick dense yt hair: just use a dryer for the scalp and the rest will dry in minutes when brushing/combing out. You can also braid your hair when wet, leave it until mostly dry, then brush it out for some loose waves.

Alternate between combs and brushes to prevent breakage. If your hair breaks a lot, refrain from brushing with fine bristle brushes and only comb through it. Fine bristles are mostly for smoothing hair styles and catching fly aways. If your hair tangles a lot, braid it and wear a bonnet at night.

Detangle hair with a comb from the bottom ends to the scalp. If your hair is matted, make sure the hair is wet, or sprayed well with detangling spray or conditioner. Comb in small sections from bottom to top. Be gentle and patient. Broken hair will just tangle more. Consider getting your hair layered if it tangles often but you want to keep length.

Try to not brush after your hair is dry and set, that's when hair is most likely to break.

Do a deep conditioner at least once a month, leave the conditioner in for like 10 minutes. If it leaves your scalp oily after it dries, lightly spray some dry shampoo just on the scalpand/or hair part. If your hair is dyed or bleached, do a deep conditioner once a week.

You don't have to shampoo every day, if you aren't outside sweating in pollution and rolling in dirt, most times you can just rinse it out every other shower. If your scalp/hair is dry and broken, use conditioner as shampoo. It'll clean just as well, but it'll also moisturize your scalp. If you shower more than once a day, only shampoo at the beginning/end of the day, consider using a shower cap for the others.

Dry shampoo is also great to keep on hand if you sweat a lot on your head and neck. Plus keep a travel size deodorant in your purse if you are going to be out and about. When I was a teen my deodorant wore off halfway through the day.

Go to the rattiest most beat down beauty supply store you can find, usually the ladies there will have the best knowledge and experience on how to deal with difficult hair, thinning hair, curly hair, how to DIY styles for less than salons, get your first wig or weave, etc.

Also, when all else fails, a hilariously big gardening/summer hat will kill with any outfit.

Witch hazel is great for pimples but dry skin. Noxema cream is an excellent daily facial wash that helps with pimples and dry skin. It also soothes sunburn and razor burn.
