Odd one... but I've always always *always* gone for a short clippered cut all over. Problem: I now want to do something more than just have it clippered all over. I still want it short.. but not to look a mess.. Only, once I leave it past 5-6 weeks, it starts to curl at the ends and generally looks a mess. I'm an amateur when it comes to both hair cuts and hair products.... so I could do with some advice! I obviously need to find someone else to do it too, since a clipper cut all over from a friend doesnt fit if I want it slightly longer now.
Okay. So are great current trend is getting an undercut. You can keep most of it long but its a very forward style. I would recommend looking up a lot of pictures and picking one you like. They work great with most facial structure and can be really easy to style. For styling products i would go with a wax or a cream. Gels can be nice too i guess but I prefer to avoid them at all cost. Also if you want a shiny look go with petroleum based but realize that it will take dish soap to get it out
Thanks for the advice there... half of the problem is I've always had my friend do it! So I'm also apprehensive about going someplace new. I went into one place, had a discussion about where it was going and came out looking ridiculous and taking it back completely short again.
