So I'm kinda wanting to try a new haircut that's longer then what I have.

Problem. I don't like sideburns or hair over my ears. I also feel like my hair in general looks pretty bad (too "poofy" I guess). So uh, what should I tell the hairstylist? Can I just like say that and they'll understand or am I being conflicting in what I want? Is there some kind of haircut (that won't look weird for a guy to wear as I don't really want anyone asking questions) that I should look at/ask for?

I have basically always hated/neglected my hair and just gotten it cut short every now and again so it wouldn't bug me :ohnoes:

Yes I'm being picky, I just hope not too picky that it's impossible.

Hey I also hated my hair forever until I let it grow out and actually started taking care of it. Turns out I have curly hair that's gorgeous. Just gotta figure out a routine (I assume this is the case for you because I described my hair as poofy before I figured it out)

Pretty sure mine is just straight and thick :sicko-wistful: curly hair looks so nice.

Straight and thick is good though you'll just have to figure out a hair routine. Some are more and less involved than others though

Thick is good, just try out different kinds of conditioner(possibly a moisturizing one, but I don't actually know your hair), and if hair oil helps(I know a person with thick hair, who puts straight olive oil in her wet hair, and the hair is not oily to the touch).

What was useful for me(also thick hair, though curly) was using a very broad toothed comb, to apply and wash out shampoo and conditioner. Easier to get a good result than with fingers.

Also I learned that while I still thought that I was a guy, maybe I was lucky, but the hairdressers I went to were always happy to help(though not alladvice was the same quality). No one cared that much about it(apart from some compliments from nice ladies). Hair is a more androgyn trait than people realize.
