you could either cut it a little bit shorter and pull off number two, its a lot more neat. But thats only in love with your hair.



Let me tell you straight up though, you shouldn't have long hair, its a bad idea. Its not clean, and about 90% of girls won't find it attractive. Not saying they won't like it, but they aren't going to find it attractive, I guarantee it.

Cut it short and have your hairdresser style it however he/she likes, and take it from there, you won't be used to the change but you can get honest feedback from your friends. Trust me here, I used to have hair like you (not quite as long though).

cool but is this possible when my hair borders upon black (african american)

well i know my hair was like that when i had it grown out, it may change up once you cut it. If it doesn't I would go for cornrows or nearly buzzcut for a neat style.

Try getting it straightened. That might make it look better.

it would, youre right, but the cost of it getting straightened over and over would get kinda rediculous.

Actually, idk if you do this but i know some black people do when their hair is long, do you wash it everyday? Cause if you don't you could just take Corey's route or straighten it yourself and it wouldn't be that rough, since you could get it chemically straightened like once every two weeks or just straighten yours yourself every time you take a shower (guessing 2x a week)

Invest in some hair straightners, I have longish hair myself and straighten with a cheap straightening iron. You can leave some of it curly for a semi natural look, then use wax/hairspray to secure it... the ladies love it! well apart from my mum she thinks it looks gay but her opinion isn't valid..
