Desperately need help

[guitargamer]

Hey guys, im hoping somebody could really help me here.

I'm 22 years old and i suffer from anxiety and very low self confidence, I've never really paid any attention / done anything to my hair because i'm scared of touching it BUT its the one thing that i don't like. My parents tell me my hair is un-stylable because of its texture etc so i basically just grew it out and have left it for around 6 years. I'm getting to the point now that i really need to sort out my confidence issues so the first thing i want to try tackle is sorting my hair out as i heard it helps with appearance quite a lot. My hair is really thick and curly

Wondering if there's any ideas you could give me and what do you reccomend? I wanted to upload pictures but it wont let me.

please help me
