I’m a dude and just starting to realize how much hair care stuff my parents never taught me because I’m a dude and they assumed I’d least have short hair. I’ve been told I have unusually thick hair if that’s relevant. Like what’s the sorta stuff I should learn to do or switch hair products from/to?

Thanks a ton for any advice.

    • Experiment to find a conditioner that works with your hair. Personally I use an extra moisturizing one because my hair dries out easily.
    • Probably cut back on the amount of shampoo you use, it's basically hair soap so if you use too much or too often it dries out your hair.
    • If you get frizz try using hair oil, you ain't gotta be greasy but a little helps keep your hair tame.
    • Don't panic if you feel like you're losing a lot of hair, when you have longer hair you start to notice how much hair you actually shed.
    • The middle stage sucks, figure out how to style your hair until you can rock a bun or whatever.

      Thank you for the hair oil recommendation. I was wondering how I could stop the center frizzing when I tie it back

        Np! Alongside that if you need a stronger hold when tying your hair back try pomade or hair wax, pomade in particular holds shape pretty well, but the downside to those is you gotta wash 'em out.
