I decided to grow out my hair back in June and this is where I’m at. Every time I feel like I’m in the “awkward phase” it gets more and more awkward lol. I don’t think I’m cut out for the flow.

Or should I get it cut to a middle length, like in the rest of the photos of myself I included?

The photo at the end is one I found online which I'd like to use for inspiration and show the barber, but I'm 26 now and I feel really fat and gross and uglier and I'm not sure if a "pretty" hairstyle really could suit me anymore, and maybe I should just embrace a more simple and masculine hairstyle and look? Like a super short haircut, like in the second photo.

That first picture is probably the best picture taken of me ever, I wish we had more time that day. As a fellow photographer it was also a great learning opportunity to see another photographer touch up the lighting, skin blemishes/texture, etc.

Anyways, incredible hair day. Manifesting another one sometime soon.
