Some setup, I've cut my own hair (by just buzzing it off when it gets too long) almost my entire life. The last year or so I've been going to an actual stylist and getting it cut, which is great but I have a problem.
I usually just give them free reign to "make it look nice" but this kind of ends up with me getting really bland cuts most of the time. I've pretty much just been given The Male Haircut (slightly longer on top and blended on the sides), which I feel like doesn't actually flatter my face that much.
The main ussue is, I don't actually know what I want. I've tried getting my partner to pick out a haircut for me but he didn't actually do it and just had the stylist do whatever they wanted (which made them think he was my dad).
I need an objective third party to come in and give me some advice about what kind of cut you think would look good on me and the best way to ask a stylist for it.
Here are some pics of my head fresh out of the shower. I haven't cut my hair in a little over a month, I plan on going in next week at the very least to clean it up:
Additional deets: My hair is usually a little on the dry side, and sits somewhere between poofy and wavey. I typically don't do anything with it since my job requires a hat, but I'm moving to a job that doesn't so I need to have better standards for my hair going forward.
I wash about 3 times a week and always use conditioner, but I feel like my hair is still too dry that 1-2 days after washing, so any recommendations for shampoo and conditioner are welcome.
I've also never owned any product in my life, so let me know what I should get. I don't really like the "crunchy" feeling my hair gets with the product I've had in it in the past, so if there's anything that can be used to style your hair that doesn't do that let me know.
Mock answers are also fine too. Thanks GAF
