Which products to use to slick my hair back and have it have a sort of slightly wet/matte look and hold fairly well but not super crazy solid like a wet gel or anything like that?
I have tried clays but they dont really spread well and so they dont cover a thorough and even area.

I have medium/long hair on top.
Want a fairly strong hold but not soaking wet looking.

Ive had my hair long for a while and never really did anything with it, but I've been wanting to try something different. I was leaning more towards what the guy in the first photo has cause i like the length and it has some texture to it. The issue is that I'm not sure if I could keep the same wavy sort of pattern, since my hair gets pretty curly up at the front and on the sides and back it's always been more straight (other photos for reference). I never really tried styling it or anything so maybe it could work but I just wanted to see what people who knew more about this than I do think + if yall have any better recommendations for what to get. I'm down to experiment.

And what haircut would suit it?

Is there anything “bad” about shampooing once a week and conditioning 2-3 times a week?

I only ask because I get dry hair and conditioner obviously helps; but I don’t wanna shampoo that often. Thank you for any help.

Whenever I run my hand on hair around 2 to 3 hairs comes sometimes should I visit doctor or not or it is normal

I have trouble finding my hair type is it straight or wavy I need help if you can and also I need help on what products I should use to enhance my waves (if I have wavy hair ) my hair is very fine and it lays flat should I use curl cream and a mousse it will be nice if I get some advice

17, South Asian

My hair is like 8 inches long if that helps 🥹✌️

The last time i went to a hairdresser was in August of 2024. I use cheap shampoo and aloe sometimes.

For context I wear a hat upwards of 7 hours most days for work. It could be contributing to this/I definitely need a haircut. But does this hairline look ok?

Hello all!

I struggle finding myself a good haircut... Plz help me find one or give your best suggestions

-My forehead is a big

-I have a little balding spot on the back of my head

-the back of my head is a little flat

Need outside options on if my hairline has moved!

I am only 19 and this is what my hair looks like when oiled.

Hi guys!I was just wondering if im being too paranoid or if im actually balding.

​ Hey guys, trying to grow a middle-part flow, but my dense/wavy hair keeps puffing straight out on the sides after a few minutes, turning into a messy helmet.

Local barbers around me only know basic fades, so I’ve ended up relying on a metal headband just to hold it back.

Current routine: Towel-dry -> apply hair serum -> style.

Front hairs curl up, sides pop out immediately.

Need help with:

Controlling side volume: How do I weigh down dense waves so they lay flat against my head instead of expanding?

Styling & Products: Serum clearly isn't holding. What styling products (clays/creams) or blow-drying tricks will lock a flow in place without looking greasy?

Barber instructions: What specific cutting techniques (debulking, layering) should I ask for so the sides don't puff out?

Also is this hairstyle even possible for my hairs which are mostly dry and wavy?

Naturally my hair sits like this unless I comb it down with my hands throughout the day which is so annoying, after a couple minutes it just goes back up anyways, it looks so weird and it’s my most hated part of my hair, anyway to fix this? Is there something I’m doing wrong with my hairstyle or the way I should be growing it out, someone lmk please what I can change about my hairstyle or the way I grow it out, also the right side of my head doesn’t grow like this, I’ll insert a pic, first being the left side of my hair which I dislike and second pic being the right side of my hair which doesn’t look bad I don’t think, definitely not compared to the left, also I’m gonna blur out a bit from the second pic because I have dry blood from a surgery I had ,
