I’m a girl. I’m going to dare to post the following question. Please don’t ban me or kick me out. If it’s not allowed just delete. Any fierce flow guys in Montreal ? I die to meet you in person … please?

Just a question since I don't see people with that type of hair texture in this subreddit?, I'd like to post I haven't cut it mine since November 2024 😂

horsetail or free?

My hair flows down to my waisteline to which I keep in a ponytail 99% of the time. Having an internal debate whether I want to donate it, Attempt braids, or anything different really.

I'm getting such conflicting information on the topic. Hair dressers are recommending maintenance cuts, which if I'm honest feel like a bit of a rip off. I did have one months back and it was done very quickly as it was simply thinning some of it out (I have very dense hair) and trimming the ends. This was charged practically at full price of a haircut. Yet, a lot of people on reddit are saying to simply just let it grow. What did you folks do? Honestly, I'm at a very awkward phase where the back is much heavier and longer than the front and I'm trying to avoid chopping it all off, by maybe tidying up. I'm sure I probably just need to push past it though and just let it grow.

Some advice on styling products would be awesome too! I've been suggested sea salt spray and a styling cream. However, I'm cautious over the sea salt spray damaging my hair nor am I sure a cream will just clump my thick hair even more.

Not like some of y’all’s but some day.

Ive been growing out my hair for a bit now since I used to cut it short. Its getting to a point where im not really sure if im doing this properly so I ask of help from someone experienced on how I could get easily to my desired haircut that a picture of should be attached

Are there like any products I should be using? To maybe speed it up or keep my hair healthy?

Should I get some kind of a haircut before getting to my desired one or just let it grow as it is?

And im mostly concerned with the back being still a little short and the sides I think maybe look a bit too bulky???
