What do you call this Hairstyle? Could I do it with shorter hair?
I want to try a style like the first two pictures but I don’t know what I’d tell my barber. I know it’s not just a mid taper because the hair flares out more in these pics than the gradual angle i’ve had with just a mid taper. Pic of my current hair on the last slide, I want my hair to start a lot higher up in general too. Any thoughts/advice on if this would work or look right?

My hair needs help
Okay so, it's been a year and a half since I started making my hair grow, but since a couple of months I started to part them to avoid a lot of shrinkage and also at home it's easier. But since that, when I remove my hair tie, the middle part doesn’t want to go no matter how I comb my hair and the feeling of my hair feels too light like when we take off braids but mine feels also like they’re breaking. I don't do any hair treatment. The only products I use are a natural shampoo, and As I Am conditioner and double butter cream, water, and oil growth and for my twist I use twist king sponge and a racket comb. Before parting my hair, I use a spray bottle of water and put a kind of amount but not too much also to prevent breakage, but I don't know what to do now. Is there any way to solve this? Product, treatment?

[Serious] anyone live around UT/SLC? I need help getting some young black girls some support with their hair.
Hello, I work with foster kids in SLC. I have two black girls I work with that have major trauma about their hair. So their foster parents go above and beyond and get it very nicely. Problem is it’s $500+ for both girls. And foster care does not pay that well. I’ve exhausted every resource the state will give me. Does anyone know of any charities or salons that might give a free hair do now and then? Or give a discount like buy one get one free? These girls used to be tortured by having their head shaved. If their hair isn’t perfect they’ll wear a hoodie in 100 degree heat to cover their whole head. We’re running out the little funds we have and I can’t bear to see these girls thrown back into the trauma they lived through.
Or even a black woman that’s willing to mentor them about natural styles that cost less or any kind of big sister/volunteer program for black youth. There are so few black people in Utah. Their foster family isn’t black, I’m not black, their lawyer isn’t black, the judge isn’t black, non of the admin at DCFS is black. I want to help these girls so desperately but with federal cuts calling social work a tool of the evil left every penny we get is begged and pleaded for and when it comes down to it, it goes to housing and food and therapy. But I’ve gotta find a solution for the hair. Anyone have any ideas? Thank you!
