It’s been about 11 months since my last haircut (usually have the generic white guy undercut fade with longish hair on top).

I have thick, wavy hair that grows heavy and outward, instead of long and downward. I also get these random kinks and curls throughout, and it just doesn’t look good in my opinion. Some days I think it looks cute, but most days I’m starting to feel like Ted Kacynzski.

I wash it 2-3 times a week and condition 1-2 times a week, then just towel dry it and throw a beanie on.

Do you have any advice?

    Don't throw a beanie on before it's properly dried, it will stay in the shape it dries to. Letting it air dry throughout makes it a lot more and more evenly curly/wavy, if I tie it up or put a beanie on before it dries properly, it will stay partly straight and curl only on some parts, making it all look like a mess. I started growing like 17 months ago from the same white guy undercut, and at this point it's starting to look consistently nice (although I still usually tie it up or keep a beanie on, otherwise it'll hang on my face, might have to try salt spray or something).
