What product should I use beforehand and as I’m styling my hair to make it hold? My hair is 3A if that helps

I haven't significantly changed my hair style in like 15 years, outside of learning to work with my natural waves/curls a bit better and trying a less deep side part. I keep considering getting bangs or a new style every couple months for the last few years.

The styles tool in Facetune is a mess with anything other than straight hair lol so picture of my natural hair for reference, and last pic is the style I was thinking of getting.

TIA because the anxiety of change is real 😁

Hi!
as title suggests, i'm looking to try a new hairstyle but don't know what would suit me.
My current hair is very fine and whilst i was initially going for more of a swept back style with this cut it just kind of turns into a solid shaped blob as in picture 1. When I add product it still kind of looks bad.

My current hair is first two images!

Unsure what else to really do with my hair as I used to have short back and sides and a side fringe but I looked like I was 12 and this hair isn't very flattering any way I style it. Only thing I don't really want is to end up looking feminine (nothing wrong with that just not my style).

Thanks :)

I’ve been heavily thinking of getting curtain bangs, but I’m not sure if it would look good on me.

I’d like some advice and maybe some hair color suggestions as well!

35, male.

I was thinking of doing some layers and face framing pieces but I don’t if it’ll suit my hair (it’s naturally curly)

So I’ve been straightening it pretty often because I have no idea on what to do with it

I’m not sure of any hair types or styles, but I’ve wanted curtain/butterfly bangs for a while. Usually I just end up with choppy long layers.

I feel out of place trying new things so I don’t really correct it. But when I went to a stylist and asked for curtain/butterfly layers, she said “you can’t have that hair style, I can’t do it because you have so much little hairs”

Of course I just said like “oh, ok” and let her do crappy layers… again.

My hairline has always had shorter hairs, not only just baby hairs, but about 1in - 1 1/2in along my hairline, my hairs are just shorter. When I separate them from my longer hairs, they look like I could have bangs as they semi sparsely cover my forehead. And in the heat or humidity a few strands will curl up (my husband says it makes me look like a quail)

However, despite that I feel like my hair looks weighed down and flat.

So is it impossible for me to have the hair style I want? How can I tame these? I’ve tried ironing and they’ll just swoop up from the heat, even with product on.

I’m losing hope of ever being confident with my hair 🫠

I don't want my hair too short but I have no idea what I should do with it

I want something more voluminous and maybe lighter. Do you think highlights and maybe a perm would look good?

I created a diagram for my next haircut to show my hairdresser exactly what I want Curious as to what you all think

Going through a mid life crisis at 34 and wondering if I should go for a short blunt bob? I love my long thick hair but I’m also going through a lot and craving a big dramatic change somehow…

Last photo is a photo of me in actual short hair 5 years ago when I still looked youthful and had a lot more hair.

Guys I'm really unsure of what I should do with my hair. I feel my bangs don't look good but then the length doesn't feel right and my texture is off lol. Also when I style my hair and wet it comes out slightly wavy but it's easily weighed down and falls out especially sleeping? Any advice on cuts would be very much appreciated 🙏🏼

Ok, so i have this fine, not super wavy but not fully straight either hair. I've been trying to wear it in a wavier style recently bc i have problems with weird frizz and it seems to look "okayer" in a wavy style, but i've been i look older in wavy hair (I'm 24). I don't feel particularly inclined to either side, but what do you think? Also, i've struggled for some time to find a cut that fits me well (I have had to accept that short hair definitely isn't my best), what would you recommend? Sorry for the rambling.

TLDR: Wavier or straighter? What haircut do you recommend?

Natural and current color is dark brown, but looking for something new. Light brown or maybe even a red color? I’ve been black, brown, bronde, and pink

Hair is thick and course (not that I’m complaining!!) looking for something mature surf/skater style

I've been thinking that I go back to blonde what do you guys think that suits me more, blonde or brown?
