refreshing waves after using a boar brush?

i recently got a boar bristle brush and love how glossy and healthy my hair looks after using it! i'd love to find out how to refresh my waves/curls after using the brush so i have some more definition.

would spritzing with water suffice? i was never taught how to take care of my hair texture so i'm learning now at the ripe age of 28 lol. i had grown my (very unhealthy) hair down to my tailbone, chopped to just above my shoulders last year and am now finally feeling like it's getting long again! getting a small trim in a few weeks to add some layers and take some weight off the bottom.

current routine:

- wash 2-3x weekly with shea moisture coconut hibiscus shampoo. occasionally i'll use a scalp exfoliating treatment (Dr.FORHAIR sea salt scrub) as i'm an athlete and get a lot of buildup from sweat.

- follow with softening conditioner i got from a japanese store by my house, the brand is kracie. sometimes instead of using that i'll do a conditioning mask (UNOVE damage repair mask from Dr.FORHAIR) and leave that in for about an hour before rinsing.

- oil ends after washing with jojoba/vitamin e blend and let it air dry

- boar brush a few times per week, i've been doing it pre-washing since i don't like how puffy my hair gets

Korean > English, this print that I was recently gifted

it was given to me by my MIL! my husband's family immigrated a few generations back and there are no living korean-speaking family members, so we would love to know what this says! TIA!

CHL license approved, anxious about purchasing my first firearm.

28f for reference, but I don't think it really matters in this situation! I'm interested in CC for self defense purposes after having a few scary situations walking around the city I live in. Yesterday I got a call from the sherriff's office that my CHL application was approved and my card will be mailed presently.

I've been taking small-group target practice lessons for a few months and feel comfortable shooting, and have been graduated up to practicing doubles and TCA's with the instructor while my peers are still working on getting good groups on their own time.

I still feel so incredibly anxious about purchasing and carrying a firearm. Mentally I'm very stable, I know all the safety rules/laws, I have a plan of where to keep the safe, all of that, but I can't shake my nerves on actially owning one and having it on my person.

Any advice on getting over that initial fear? TIA!!

Also, if anyone has reccs for CC models, it would be much appreciated. I'm most comfortable with Glocks (both 47 and 19 gen 5) but they seem a bit bulky for concealed carry.

EDIT: apologies for the redundant wording in the title πŸ˜” I promise I don't also say ATM machine lol
