Help with Jonathan's Hair :p

I think it looks good like that personally

 

^ I agree.

..But if you are dead set on doing something new with it I def. think maybe adding some lighter shades of brown would work well on you...And if you want to cut it maybe just take a few inches off so it isn't in your face so much??
...Just spit ballin' ideas, don't know what you want...

 

You look better with long hair tbh. Then again, generally I think the majority of guys look better with longer hair.

 

I would just give it a little trim to get rid of any split ends or anything, and shape it a bit. Otherwise, it looks pretty good, although I do think you'd look nice as a dirty blond or with dirty blond highlights if you really would like a change.

 

Well, goodness. Looks like I'm posting a thread here next time I need hair advice!

 

I pretty much agree with the other posts, "long" hair suits you! I like this better than the super short haircut

 

I also think the longer hair suits you. But one option, is you could just go and let the stylists do whatever they want, and if you hate it, then you can get it buzzed, since you are thinking of that as an option anyway.

One thing to remember about color, is that for it to look natural, you have to maintain it. That can be kind of a pain. (If you aren't trying for "natural" this is less of a problem.)

 

If you are going to keep it that length I'd suggest having it thinned out a bit. Since it has grown from a buzzcut, that means every hair will be exactly the same length, which leaves your hair pretty thick and heavy. The hairdresser would just go through with thinning scissors (which are kind of serrated, so they cut some hairs while leaving others).

Also if it was up to me I'd shorten up the sides, so they don't hang over your ears so much, and the back to prevent it getting into mullet territory . But that's just me.

 

What about this? I think this would go great on you! And maybe some lighter brown highlights. http://images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A2KJkevZ_ttPPUQAfxSJzbkF;_ylu=X3oDMTBlMTQ4cGxyBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1n?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fp%3Dhot%2Bchelle%2Brae%26fr%3Dyfp-t-701%26fr2%3Dpiv-web%26tab%3Dorganic%26ri%3D25&w=1280&h=1024&imgurl=www.entertainmentwallpaper.com%2Fimages%2Fdesktops%2Fcelebrity%2Fhot-chelle-rae02.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.entertainmentwallpaper.com%2Fdownload%2F40029729%2F&size=224+KB&name=Hot+Chelle+Rae+Wallpaper+-+%2340029729+%7C+Desktop+Download+page%2C+various+...&p=hot+chelle+rae&oid=b2675c0787926ff552d3ed9e956f39b4&fr2=piv-web&fr=yfp-t-701&tt=Hot%2BChelle%2BRae%2BWallpaper%2B-%2B%252340029729%2B%257C%2BDesktop%2BDownload%2Bpage%252C%2Bvarious%2B...&b=0&ni=21&no=25&ts=&tab=organic&sigr=11odcccu2&sigb=1382i4bqt&sigi=12dg7rvoo&.crumb=CBiY6fCE2dP I'm talking about a similar style to the guy in the right center. The totally cute singer

I do think that you could just keep it basically how it is and style it up with some wax or something. Just to get the hair out of your face and push it back a little. What you need is to teleport me there and I will hook. you. up.

 

Hey Jonathan
well I looked up a few of your pics, and while it's difficult to perceive over personality etc through pics, I have to agree that the longer hair looks pretty darn good so far, and bit of work with trim etc should bring it up to really really good . Do you know why your friends prefer the shorter hair? Maybe they're always used to seeing you like that? Do they think it suits a certain "version" of you better (i.e. are these all people who don't know you're gay)? The short hair pics do have a slightly "butcher" look whereas the longer hair softens up your features a bit, without looking feminine (in my opinion anyway). I find the whole thing interesting because I have a few friends who seem to always gravitate to short short hair, and while I respect their choice I always cringe a bit when they get it cut because they do look darn good with slightly longer hair. Still trying to figure out why they see it differently. If your sister is also your stylist she probably will keep you away from a mullet fiasco .

 

If it was up to me I'd go for happy medium between the two . Not as short as you had it before but not as long as it is now (the fringe isn't too bad, I'm mainly looking at the sides, back, and the weight on top).

 

I think photo number 2 for the sides/everywhere else. Your hair looks pretty good in those except I think it would be better if the fringe wasn't just cut straight across - that's why I'm suggesting leaving it longer. Doing that may require some styling product to make it look decent though.

 

As someone whose hair is almost two feet in length, take my word for it, they'll come around.

 

I dunno, I feel like I actually prefer you with shorter hair. Part of that is probably because I myself have longer hair (somewhere around pic #4 before a cut). Another personal preference thing: if you do keep it longer (like #4 or longer), I'd figure something out to avoid the curling on the sides. Again, my hair does that when it gets longer (usually when I'm overdue for a cut), and personally it bothers the hell out of me. It does nothing but remind me of back in early high school when EVERY guy that had long hair decided to do that because it was the "cool" thing to do or whatever. So basically, it reminds me of more immature days, though I guess other people like it.

I've never been a fan of buzzed hair though, personally.

I have no idea what actually looks -good- on people, by face type and stuff... so honestly I think your best bet is to just go to a proper stylist and ask them what would look good with your face. The only thing you'd really need to decide for yourself is a couple boundaries you want, like whether it's longer/shorter, high/low maintenance, etc. That's what I did; my mom made me go to her stylist but I got to call the shots. I basically just told her I like it around the length I had it then and that it had to be low maintenance (shampoo, towel off, let it dry), then closed my eyes and let her do whatever. I'm not fussy about my hair, but other people seem to like it, so I guess it was a successful visit.

Of course, it is your hair though, so just wear it however you want.

Oh, and the criticisms about the length (if I'd guess) are likely due to the fact that right now your hair's just been "grown out", so while not only does it look like you haven't done anything with it, it also looks like you're just really really overdue for a cut. I think if you intentionally decided on keeping it long and getting it cleaned up people would receive it better.

 

its great both ways i like long more !
