I have had short hair my whole life. I want a new hairstyle.

Something longer than a buzz, but not too darn short. I know that many people here have experience with hairstyling. I am getting a haircut tomorrow, and would like any advice possible. Here are the images!!

Any advice? I think my face is diamond shaped. Am I right?

Any advice would be most appreciated. I want to change up my hair, and the generally awesome and goodlookinghairpeople at tl.net might be of huge help.

I shalt post when I get the haircut.

Use a "one" on the sides and back, and tell them to leave about a finger width on top. Since it seems like you've always slicked your hair back, once they are done, just leave the top flat.

Omg this.

Anyway, I shall let guys give advice on guy haircuts because I don't pay that much attention, BUT what I do notice (and most women will notice) is that hair product. Find something less... noticeable. Shiny plastic heads are not attractive to any woman I know. It's sort of the equivalent of caked on makeup.

And yeah, diamond shaped it is. A hair style that covers part of your forehead and compresses your face a bit may be flattering.

There are three acceptable haircuts: High and tight, crew cut, buzz cut.

Wasn't their a hairstylist on TL sometime back. Hopefully he can give you some awesome advice.

My only advice would be. Don't get a bowlcut. Those things never leave you.

Shorten it a bit then ask them to style it by texturing and thinning it so you can style it how you want with product.

loooool, this reminds me of when i was young(er)... terrible hairstyles with too much gel. honestly if you're looking for change then like most people you'll want something more modest before you grow the confidence to go something like all the koreans (yes i know some of you guys out there will think those haircuts are tame, but for a kid that age, having short hair all his life..). anyway it really depends on the style you are trying to fit e.g hipster, wannabegangsta, redneck hillbilly... you get the drift... really you should just lose the gel and go for something less slick? just google a bunch of images and pick one that suits you, then take it to your hairdresser. dont get it done by some old dude though, he'll screw it up. actually thinking about it, thats the best bit of advice i can give you... if you want something trendy dont go to a "barber shop" where theres only a 70 year old guy who has for his whole career only cut a short font, sides, back style.

the girls love trendy haircuts (or at least where im from :D)
