Hello, so I'm currently growing my hair but still got at least 3 or 4 months to get to the proper length. The advice i seek is the following, my biggest issues right now are: volume, hair gets too puffy and I look like some emo beatle. Should I get some of it cut or just bare with it until I get to a shoulder length and the see? Second issue is the fringe/bangs/whatever they're called, Hair in the front part of my head is pretty long but not long enough to stay put behind my ears. The thing is, Im not sure I should bother growing it to such length, styling it like that usually looks goofy
