I cut it because I was told I looked more conventionally attractive with shorter hair + I could never get the volume I wanted and manage frizz (I still have people debate whether my hair is straight or wavy).

Ironically I hated the haircut I got in February and haven't had it cut since (going to soon though).

I said had in the post because I cut my mane off in February because I was told I look more conventionally attractive with shorter hair.

But, I am still curious about the question in my title... admittedly, the batches of these photos were all taken over the span of a few months, but my question still remains.

Like the last photo in this series was taken a week earlier than the second to last photo and yet looks to have more volume and looks shinier and softer. And in some of these, my hair looks straighter, and yet in some I could argue it looks to be on the wavy spectrum.

And then I would have random days like the third photo where the front of the hair/my bangs would wave/curl out a good bit, only to not be that way the next day upon repeating the process.

I never did anything special with my hair, I used shampoo and conditioner daily (UNITE Boosta) and then a leave-in conditioner... after that, I would take a wide tooth comb or a detangling brush and brush/comb my hair straight back (like a slickback) and blowdry it in that direction... my hair naturally finds a middle/slightly off-center part, so once it was completely blow-dried, I could just find the parting and still maintain some of the volume. I did use a diffuser attachment a lot of the days.

I am just curious and feel this could help me if I ever decide to grow my hair out long again (and might help me take better care of my hair now).

Would I have been better off treating my hair as if it is wavy like some people suggested?

I am struggling to figure out how to word this (struggled with the title too)... Brad Pitt has very fine hair strands but incredibly dense hair. What kind of products would someone use to create a style like that... it looks thicker and textured and has the look of a lot of product, it almost looks almost kind of wet? Again, struggling to find the words.

I have the exact same hair type and have no clue how to make the hair look like that + get that much volume at that length of hair.

And yes, I know Brad Pitt is incredibly handsome, I've read all the "it's not about the hair, it's about the face" comments any post about Brad Pitt's hair gets.

Is it literally pomade? Maybe gel?

A hair stylist I used to see said my hair has some wave to it, and I have been told that my hair once it gets longer (see the first photo) is 2a/2b, but I still get told I have straight hair when it's shorter.

Would I be able to manage my hair's frizziness better if I started treating it as wavy/curly hair?

I have fine BUT very dense dirty blonde hair that is straight when shorter but when it grows out, is a bit wavy (2a/2b perhaps?).

I have never figured out how to get the frizz under control. I have tried to cut down on shampooing everyday but it gets so oily, greasy, and flat just a day after washing it and I just can't stand it... I've tried just water washing on that second day, just using conditioner on that second day, etc. and no matter what, that happens. I will add, when it's like around 3ish inches and length and shorter, I can usually make it work better but once it starts to grow out is when I have this problem.

• I use this Volumizing Shampoo that is paraben and sulfate free, and this Volumizing Conditioner that is also paraben and sulfate free
• I use this leave-in conditioner or this leave-in conditioner depending on what I have at home
• I blow dry my hair everyday on medium heat

Are there other products I could use to try and reduce the frizz? If I am correct, isn't fine hair the one type that can usually handle being washed daily?

I have had a widows peak since high school (see last photo) but it's definitely crept back a bit more at the corners since then. I'd put myself at Norwood 2 rn (I thought maybe 1.5 but I feel like the temples are probably slightly too far back to be classified as 1.5). I also have unilateral acquired progressive kinking of the hair/whisker hairs on my left side (never was diagnosed with this, not even sure if my dermatologist knows what that condition is, she sees the thinner/darker spot but never put a label on it). Density is very good though always has been, when I go to the barber or salon they tell me my hair is fine but very thick and dense, "fine hair but you have a lot of it". Temporal peaks are admittedly on the verge.

I have been on finasteride since February with no sides (I have noticed some changes to erections the past few weeks however I have also not been getting enough sleep + struggling to sleep so I am not panicking right now and hoping it is stress and mental health related). Dermatologist said she can already see vellus hair growth along the temples and hairline.

I need to find a good hairstyle that works with where my hairline is at though. Does anyone at a similar norwood level have any recommendations? I kinda wanna try a warrior cut like Brad Pitt had in fight club, I know his hairline is pretty perfect but I saw this guy on TikTok style a warrior cut in a way where the front is pushed forward a bit and it covers up the hairline pretty much. I would need to keep the sides shortish though due to the kinkiness on the left side.

I always get told I look like someone famous in this photo

Almost everytime I post my face anywhere, some comments telling me I look like him

I know men and women are both allowed to post in here, I just do not see a lot from men with fine hair, pretty much, well, anywhere. I find it hard finding men with a similiar hair type to me, I have good density but my strands are very fine, color-wise my hair is a dirty blonde/light brown/golden brown color, and my hair type is interesting, it's straighter when it's short but once I get length it starts to form some waves, perhaps 2a/2b? I also do have a mature hairline/widows peak (I am on 1mg oral finasteride daily and tolerating it well). Once my hair reaches like 3 inches of hair, it starts to part down the middle by itself.

I have like 5 inches of hair on the top and around 3 on the back and sides (last time I got a haircut was in February and I had 3 inches on top and 1 on the back and sides). I hated the cut, I kinda showed him something I had before and kinda just mentioned like wanting a pompadour/quiff kinda thing and it didn't look like what I wanted at all and I'm kinda scared to get a haircut again.

In terms of hairstyles I like, I like pompadours/quiffs, I also like kind of that warrior cut style that Brad Pitt had in Fight Club... Chad Michael Murray had some similiar hairstyles as Tristin Dugray in Gilmore Girls that I liked (my friend said I kinda looked like him a bit in high school), and I also don't mind what Harvey Specter had from season 2 onwards in Suits + he has a pretty identical hairline to me. I know pompadours/quiffs and Harvey Specter's hair work with my hairline, not sure about how the others do. I could just rock a proper middle part but someone said since I have a very wide jaw and chin, hiding my forehead is just going to put even more emphasis on that (although it is nice to hide the triangles in the corners of my hairline) + I have fuller cheeks (working on this) so not sure how flattering it would be. I'm open to other hairstyle suggestions that would work for me as well. Side parts are ok but I would prefer to find a way that doesn't leave ther non-parted temple completely exposed.

I did shave my beard recently. Also I really just want the absolute best hairstyle I can get that would look the most attractive on me. I can pay for a super good hairstylist/barber/salon.

I do use UNITE BOOSTA shampoo and conditioner daily (I have tried not shampooing daily and once my hair gets to the length it's at right now, I can't get away with not shampooing daily as my hair gets super greasy).

Please ignore my messy apartment I just moved in 2 weeks ago and am still working on it, I need to get a couch ordered!

This couch will fit physically in my apartment, my question is, will the color of the couch work ok with my walls and floors? I did go and sit on the couch in-person and it was very comfortable. I am planning to get it in the light gray, although the one I sat on of the same model was a darker gray (I did see the fabric in-person on a chair that goes with it, circled in red).

My plan is going to be to put the couch right in from of that little gap in front of the wall that sticks out where my TV is currently sitting, and then mount my TV on the wall (my apartment has a fireplace which is random and they do allow us to mount TVs). In the little nook/crannie to the right of the TV there is a desk sitting right there but that is just temporary, I am going to get rid of that desk soon (I just brought it to put my stuff on until I can order a standing desk, which I am going to probably put either to the right of where the TV will be mounted, or in my bedroom, wherever it fits... currently I am using my movable island as a desk which you can see in the photo to the left of the TV). I know TVs mounted above fireplaces aren't great but there isn't really anywhere else to put my TV, and I don't want it in front of the fireplace blocking it.

I circled in red on the last photo where I am going to put the couch.

I am very anxious about this, this is my first time having an apartment that I am actually going to try and put work into furnishing well, and I am unsure of what colors will work well. Should I just get the couch and build from there?

For what it's worth, one of the model floorplans at my apartment complex with the same color floors and walls also has a gray couch.

Not sure if it would look weird or not, I feel like maybe if you pushed the front forward a bit you could cover the widows peak and slight temporal recession like in the last photo but I am unsure.

I am also aware that the hairstyles past the photos of Brad Pitt may not even be Warrior Cuts.
