Hair care

So I've spent the last few decades with very short hair. It's naturally quite wavy, and now I've started growing it out, it's sticking out in all directions and looks a total mess, particularly around the ears. What do?

I know what shampoo and conditioner are, and I think I have a comb somewhere. Can anybody point to some good absolute-beginner tutorials, or give advice? I'm sure someone's been through the same thing...

Woah, that's a lot of info! Thank you!

I really love Shea Moisture products. About once a week, a very weak mix of bicarb and filtered water to break down left-over product, and a few tbsp of Bragg's acv, a dollop of raw honey and filtered water, shaken well, as a rinse. Acv seals the cuticle and adds gloss, honey conditions. You can still condition after. I couldn't see the pic, got an error message, but I've heard good things about https://lusterproducts.com/products/wave-jel-activator s curl activator, but not tried it, yet. Anything Shea Moisture has worked well for me. Right now, I need a cut and style, and haven't been styling and it's very humid, so my hair is very unruly!
