Person to tame my unruly hair required

[thalassa]

Seriously, I'm at my wits end. My hair is naturally curly and dry, in awful condition from processing, and needs help. I've had too many poor haircuts in my time, and I don't have massive amounts of money to throw around trying and failing to get it right.
Can anyone recommend a hairdresser in Oxfordshire or Cotswolds area (Cheltenham/Cirencester, etc) who understands how to cut tricky hair, and will not make me feel like an ugly sister. Hair has been neglected for over a year since last bad experience.

Thank you!!!

OK first of all focus on the condition, not the cut.

Google the Curly Girl method. You will do yourself a massive favour if you ditch shampoo altogether and just use confiditioner, or at the very least start using shampoos that have no silicone or sulphates in them.

That will make a massive improvement, I promise you.

As far as cutting goes, maybe you could consider finding a hairdresser who specialises in afro hair or is used to cutting mixed race hair? They might be better at coping with the curls!

conditioner obvs, not confiditioner!

thanks! I do actually already use the curly girl method and don't shampoo and avoid sulphites. it has helped a lot but the hair still needs a bit of emergency care.
Any salon recommendations hugely welcome! :)
