Thanks for the stylist recommendations guys. I'll look at them to see which ones I want to set up an appointment with.

Why the long case?
I need to fucking move to New York. These races to get to my barber are ridiculous.

I'm trying to achieve this hairstyle with my wavy hair:
Last time I got my hair cut was a size 2 shaver on everything, about 3 weeks ago. I've decided to grow it out because I've had the same short hairstyle for a few years now and I think its time to change it up. Anyone know if the hairstyle in the pic has a certain name or is it just grown out and cut a certain way?

Aight men's hair gaf, I need some advice, I'm always shit at pickin out hairstyles. I've gone short most of my life, and last year I just decided to grow it out my hair for a solid 6-8 months, no trimming, no nothing. So now my hair is pretty long and I have three choices: go back to short, go for something in between, or leave it around here (or longer). What do you guys think? Recommend me some cuts!

Anbokr, I think your hair looks way better longer, dude. I'd keep growing it out or just keep it around that length.

I think you look better with short hair, but it also looks like you gained some weight between the two, or that's just how you look with longer hair.

Has anyone tried the Slick Pomade from Baxter?
I've had the Clay before and it's amazing but I don't think that'll work for my ever lengthening hair

You don't know how often I get that, Shia Lebeouf or Nick Jonas... And yeah the short hair pic is from over a year ago, I've gained some weight since then.
Man I always get the opposite feeling, I've always been goin after that wet look.
I'm startin to lean towards going back to short hair simply because long hair, as much as I like it, has been really tedious to maintain. This picture is also kind of deceiving since when my hair is dry it curls a lot more, and so you can imagine waking up in the morning I got this monstrous fro that takes some time to get down--I actually usually just wear a hat for 5-10 minutes making it a lot easier to shape, which is sort of a lazy/quick fix I guess.
Anyhow, thanks for the feedback thus far guys, really appreciate it

Need some good shampoo/conditioner recommendations. Been trying the baking soda vinegar for a month and has given me horrible dandruff and my current shampoo/conditioner seems to make it worse.

Do you need conditioner with these?

Why the bakingsoda? I just use water now and god damn if my hair isnt as good as it ever was with shampoo. Seemingly strong as hell as well.

If you want them yes. They make conditioners to pair with their shampoos.

I put product in my hair most days and just using water doesnt get it out.

I think the general consensus here is that American Crew is pretty mediocre. You can certainly get better stuff for around the same price range or a little bit more.
Have you looked into any of Baxter's products? Their Hard Water Pomade might be what you're after. I use the Clay right now and love it. Not a whole lot of shine but fantastic hold.

What do you guys think? I just got a haircut and this is the first time I did something like this so i need the advice of people who do not know me like my friends or family members. My hairstylist left it a little long on top imo, but I can work with it. He made me look like macklemore at first and when friends pointed it out I washed my hair out and redid it

No, I'd say it's perfectly fine, looks good.
Maybe a bit too much product in the second pic?
Thanks man, I'll look into it

Another vote for Baxter clay.
I like it because often I misjudge how much product I need, and with this I don't have to worry about using a tad too much, because it does not have a greasy effect.

Yeah, lol, I used a lot of hairspray that time and my hair just kept falling down, it was aggravating me. Thanks for the input though.

I've decided to stop fighting my thick wavy hair and just let it do its thing. Anyone have any suggestions for product that is good for throwing into wavy hair? I have pomade that I was using for my part but since I'm not longer doing that I'm not sure if pomade is the way to go.
I'm (re-)discovering mousse, and it's been pretty awesome so far. Apparently, if you let it naturally dry in your hair, it gives it even better texture and makes waves and curls softer but more defined. I've yet to try this, as I use it to tame my waves a little, not accentuate them, but it definitely helps control frizz and flyaways.

Mousse you say? Can't say I've ever tried that but it's probably worth a shot. Any brands in particular you recommend?

Color me interested. My thick wavy hair is about at that length where it's like NOPE whenever I try to tame it.

You can do anything to hair. If it's thick you can thin it, if it's curly you can straighten it, if it's straight you can make it wavy, if it's thin you can add some volume.
Just gotta put in the effort.

Speaking of thinning out hair, how often should I have it done? I did it in December for the first time and it worked wonders.
Bam Bam Baklava

However often you feel you need it I'd say.
Here's a video of a guy trying out 4 different kinds, at least two of them should be available anywhere.
I personally use Syoss Max Hold. It's pretty cheap, lasts months, makes styling much easier, and leaves the hair looking healthy.
So I had the buzzed sides and parted top for a while. Loved it. Now I am bored and going to grow some long Jesus hair. Any tips? (Other than don't cut your hair lol) I have noticed that I have to use conditioner consistently or it feels ratty as hell. I also am just straight growing it from the buzzed sides long top stage. It doesn't look awkward.

I think I'm at about month 4 going from a zero clip on the sides and and 8 on top. It's been a frustrating hat filled couple of months. Still awfully awkward but it's getting there.
It's so hard though Style.
I do it every time I get my hair done.
but my hair is also extremely thick. like pulling your hand through clay.

Applied the clay pomade while my hair was damp and blowdried it. Amazing hold today. Family and coworkers love calling me Clark Kent whenever I wear my Oakleys.
I just started trying Gatsby Spikey Edge and Air Rise. I don't use it like they do in the demos, but holy shit Japan's hair products are decades ahead of stuff like Crew Fiber. Permanently switched, and I'm 30. Marketers say I'm at the age where I'm not marketable. They're right, but not because I'm too old to change, but because I don't buy shit just because it's advertised a lot. This is good stuff.
Wish I knew about this stuff when I was 18. I probably have 5-10 years left where I can use this kind of stuff. I'm slowly balding. I can grow out my hair and use it just fine now, but underneath it's a changing.

I always thought this guy had the best ones.
I'm gonna think it over a bit and see if it's really worth it. I can't imagine it lasts more than a month or two.

The only problem with gatsby I found is that it is super hard to wash out. If you use it everyday that shit stays in your hair even after you wash it.
I agree, but only with Spikey Edge. I've decided Air Rise is my appropriate version because my hair is a bit too long for Spikey Edge. Air rise doesn't clump and leaves my hair soft to touch.
