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.

      Brushing is good advice, if you have straight hair. If it's more wavy or curly, just detangle them with your fingers in the shower. Also, get hair clips, you won't be able to tie your hair for a while and it will get on your face.

        I have slightly curly hair and brush them, but only when they're wet just after washing them

          I used to do that, too, but I noticed that when I just let them dry without brushing, they curl a lot more. Before with brushing it would curl only on the ends (obviously this depends if you want the curls .

      more frequently because it will cause split ends to attach 2 each other

      just learned this the hard way lol

      Is there hair dye that doesn’t damage the hair or is that just a thing I’ll have to accept? I’ve always been tempted but got scared off a bit.
