/fa/ - Fashion

Hey. Never really gave my appearence much thought, but recently have decided to start caring. Anyway, my current hair is just the result of not getting it cut for a long time and kinda spending a few minutes hand-combing it the way I want after a shower. It's I know it looks pretty messy though, and want to get it cut to a neater style and get some tips on upkeep. Problem is I know nothing about styles, and my current plan is basically telling the stylist to do what she thinks will look good within a couple parameters.

Still want to keep it long, as is the preference of both me and my gf, but it could do with being a quite bit shorter comparatively if that's for the best. Tips?
