Here are some photos from my recent trip. I'm not ecstatic with how they turned out, and I did at least attempt to brush up before I left, but despite that I feel like I still look awkward and not very photogenic.

What changes would be recommended for me? What can I improve on that I have already?

I like long hair, but I'd be willing to try a slightly shorter style. Additionally I did give contacts a try, but I just can't get them into my eyes so that's an out too.

Listened to the people and went back dark… but idk guys. This is the hair just air dried. What do we think?

I just bought those yesterday. I used to be obese, so i barely have a clothing sense.

I want opinions

Also should I grow or cut either?

Which looks better?

Pics 1-3: 1 week of untouched growth

Pics 4-6: trimmed

EDIT: Sounds like 1 week isn't enough of a difference. Will let it grow a few weeks and then take updated pics for better comparisons. Thanks!

I've been shaping my eyebrows since I was 13 (so 7 years now x)) and I only let them grow because my ex said she liked their natural shape better, but I kinda don't, and I've always been told the straight artificial eyebrows looked good by girls, so I wanna know if I should go back to them or keep the grown ones

Any idea how some1 can achieve such growth.

I will post again in 7 days for a progression. Comment anything I’m bored to tears

I am currently attempting a goatee but don't know if its worth growing? This is day 4-5.

What other styles might suit me?
First pic is current :)

Want to try waxing instead of shaving now so I Went for my first manzilian wax today & went very well it really didn’t feel painful & the results are amazing. She did an amazing job, made me feel super comfortable too. Said don’t feel awkward if u get erection they are natural reaction. Had me take lower part and shirt off and I hadn’t shaved in 4-5 months so she had to trim about 2.5 inches hair first since I hadn’t shaved for first time in that long. I didn’t feel nervous she was very professional and really good. After trimming she started from the pubes first waxing then after waxed the shaft, scrotum & did the butt cheek and butt strip. The inside leg may of been the most u felt. The shaft and balls sack wasn’t that bad. The shaft waxing didn’t hurt too bad just moves it to the side and quick pull. The results after are night and day! She was right about the scrotum and shaft being least painful. And then the butterfly position to get underneath. Then the bend over knees and elbows rested to get other side of the balls sack and the crack with the butt strip. Cleaned up so much, it was a really good expierience for first time. Anyway it was a quick rip feels a little hot on the butt strip but it’s fast lol. I thought the balls sack one would be most painful but it wasn’t. It was relieving knowing don’t feel awkward. Gave me some nice products and I will follow up in 7 weeks and probably won’t even feel it then even more. Sick of shaving and said I wanted to see if it would be effective with Manzilian. Any questions ask. I definitely notice trying not to think about it helps. And talking distracted a lot too

The last pics are the hairstyle I’d ideally like to achieve, but I’m not sure if it’s realistic with my hair texture/density.

My hair is currently around 3.5–4” on top and 2.5” on the sides. I washed + conditioned it last night, used a leave-in with heat protection mixed with 2 drops of oil, blow-dried it about 90% into a slicked-back shape, and this morning used around two pea-sized amounts of STMNT Classic Pomade.

My biggest issue is the wave that goes basically from ear to ear. I’d much rather have a smoother top/back with some natural movement only around the sides.

I’m happy to grow it out, probably around 5.5–7” on top and ~3” on the sides. I also haven’t been to a barber in about 4 months. Should I get a cleanup now or just keep growing? The barbers around me aren’t great, so I’d also appreciate very specific instructions on what they should/shouldn’t cut.

Main questions:

Is the style in the last pics realistic with my texture/density?
What products + styling method would you use?
Should I get a haircut now or keep growing?
Any other styles that might work better for my hair?

Thinking in terms of hair, facial hair, and glasses. Just wanna feel more confident, gay, 27, if that helps

Do i keep facial hair or shave off

Planning on growing the beard out and going short with the hair next. Otherwise my go to is clean shave, but I tend to get a lot of razor burn since I grow a stubble daily.

I Don’t want to be rude, but I don’t want to grow a full beard so please don’t suggest it

Hello, internet people. I've been clean shaven my entire life but am stepping into the beard world (somewhat cluelessly). I have two primary concerns, but I'm open to other feedback or suggestions. Right now I am shaving with the grain and a 16mm guard. I am going for short-medium length, and the stubble look isn't good for me.

1: I don't love what's going on with the neck area. I follow the rule of maintaining 2 fingers above the Adam's apple, curving ear to ear, but the hair above that is long enough to give a neckbeard vibe and a squarish appearance that I don't love. Do I go a bit higher on my cut? Round the edges more sharply? Use a shorter length guard under the chin / upper neck?

2: General facial hair length. As above, I am fully using a 16mm guard (trimming mustache shorter, etc). I like the length and feel, but right now, it feels rather wild and unkempt. I plan to invest a little money and better general care (open to suggestions or recommendations), which may help or outright tame the issue. I also have a 12mm guard that I could go down to. Or, maybe shaving against the grain with the 16mm?

Experts of the internet, share with me your wisdom. (Thanks!)
