I'm irritated. I'm dumb. I used to always get a classic short haircut. Last time I got the regular haircut was sometime in 2022 I think. Since then I've been growing it out and have had medium or long hair. A year ago I cut it to shoulder length. I let it grow since then. Got too long to be honest. Then I cut it recently. I thought I would try a little shorter this time, somewhere between the ears and the shoulders. I thought it would be similar to picrel but a little shorter. I should have listened to the hairdresser who said it's too short to make a ponytail. Even with thinning scissors it doesn't look like that at all because of my wavy hair. It fluffs up into a cone shape. I'm not happy with how it looks. Kind of Karl Marx or William Shakespeare. I should have cut it shoulder length. That way it both would look better hanging loose and there would be the option to make a ponytail. Now it will take months to get to that length. I don't know what to do now. Girls probably don't like this look, seems like it. I'm pretty tired of long hair after these 3 years and I've been considering getting a short haircut again. But it's kind of sad too to cut it off because it takes a year and a half or something to get it to shoulder length again if I would want that again. Also I'm a retard because I would want to try talking to girls with my hair loose the way it looked last summer, well it's going to take until next summer if I want to try that because that's a summer thing for me, and also why didn't I try last summer? I don't know. Stupid. I just had it in a ponytail all summer. I really don't know why. I don't know what to do now, cut it short, leave it and look like a retard etc.
>>18483868 (OP)Weigh it doen with argon oil or slick it back.
>>18483981I asked the hairdresser to put wax, didn't help. I later tried gel, didn't help. Too fluffy.
>>18483868 (OP)Shouldve had patience, you can always try again
>>18484267Patience with what?
>>18484270growing it and getting through the awkward phase. Even if you don't want very long hair, you still need to grow it out more than you think because
1) wavy/curly takes longer to grow, in a sense, because when it curls the effective dry length is shorter
2) you need to grow it longer and then get it cut with layers to prevent it from growing out rather than down and laying properly.
>>18484276I don't know if I was unclear or what. I cut it a year ago. It grew out really long after that. I then cut it again recently. This time I wanted to try cutting it a little shorter than last time. Now I see that it was not a good idea.
>>18484276The last time i grew out my hair everyone called me a faggot... :(
I probably have no other choice than to get a short haircut because:
a) This looks kind of dumb.
b) I can't make a ponytail, or at least not without using pins on the sides which looks stupid/girly, and you pretty much have to make a ponytail if you're for example eating at a restaurant on a date, too messy to have the hair out, especially when it's this length, if it were longer maybe you could just have it stay back, but this length it falls over into your face.
I didn't want to post a picture of myself but I tried to find one that looks similar, picrel is similar to how I look, my hair is maybe a little longer, and blond, and maybe a little more wavy/fluffy.
Also I'm stupid because I was thinking about how when I first grew my hair out I wanted to have the style of SteveMRE and Adam Green, and I thought last year I cut it longer than their style, and this year would be like their style, I think that's what I was thinking. But now I realize the way I cut it last year was like their style and the way I cut it this year is considerably shorter. I didn't even look at pictures of them before going to the hairdresser. I fucking hate myself right now.
Also I've had medium and long hair for about 3 years now, I think it's time for something new. I guess I just have to blame myself for not trying to talk to girls with my hair out last summer. That's the biggest annoyance. That I would like to try talking to girls both with my hair out and my hair in a ponytail and see which I get the most success with. But I should have done that last year anyway ideally. It's really strange that it didn't even occur to me last summer to do that experiment. So again, I guess I just have to blame myself for that, it's 3 years, it's time for a new style, and girls seem to hate this style I have now, and I mostly approach girls during the summer so it's now or never. I think most girls maybe prefer short hair anyway.
basically zero fucking advice in 25 hours, great fucking board
>>18484565you just fucked up and there is nothing you can do. we are not your personal attendants and no one is reading your blog. get a buzzcut of shame and fuck off
It think I was maybe inspired by Dan Cilley's style too kek, or maybe I saw him after I grew my hair out, don't remember. Fucking hate myself. This length is what I should have. But I can't grow sideburns anyway. And his hair is straight and dark, my hair is wavy and blond. I think I have to go get a short haircut but I feel fucking sad about it. Or should I keep it for next summer? Because if I cut it short now it's probably not going to be this length next summer, it might take a little over a year.

I wish it didn't take a year and a half for hair to grow from short to shoulder length. Basically when you cut short you're stuck with it.
Also something I hate about short hair is you have to go the the barber so fucking often.
This is my hair right now with some water in it. Advice? I feel like it would be a shame to cut it off.
What do i need to do with my hair guys, any tips? I kinda thought about growing it out, but maybe i shorten it.
>>18484628my advice is you should clean your mirror, holy shit
>>18484940kek I know, I don't even know a good way to clean a mirror though
Don't want to post a sideview picture but I think it actually looks pretty good now. Kind of changed my mind. But I think I'll go get a short haircut anyway because it's time after 3 years, I can't make a ponytail, I have to just blame myself for not trying to talk to girls with the hair loose last year, and also I think most girls probably prefer short hair.
My hair looks very similar to this, maybe a little shorter. If it had been a few centimeters longer it would have been long enough to make a ponytail. Never get your hair just a little too short to make a ponytail, it's fucking annoying when eating etc.

I wonder if when you have long hair you can just take scissors or a trimmer and cut off the ponytail when it gets too long? That must be the easiest way to cut your own hair if it works. Maybe some people have long hair for this?
>>18485262if you do this you end up with the karen haircut
cut my hair off today, sad day, R.I.P. good hair
>>18484944Dish soap and water
>>18485223>girlsgirlsgirlsJesus man the hair might not be the problem.
>>18487450Not an argument
>>18484628Get some layers, right now you're looking like you're on your way to becoming a 14th century French pageboy. Otherwise your hair is beautiful
>>18484267Curly hair either looks like a tumbleweed or the most luscious head of curls you've ever seen in your life
>>18488361Don't know what layers are. Anyway I got a short haircut. Kind of a shame. Maybe I'll grow it out again but it will take over a year.
>>18488369This nigga living in silent hill
