Hair styling for maximum effect

[BluEyes]

Hey guys, just a quick question. Are there any basic 'rules' you should follow when getting a haircut? Like, I know what I want personally. Yet I also want my hair to look decent. Right now I have pretty long hair...as in bangs just below eyebrows, over ears, etc. I want to get it cut short, to give it abit of an edge rather than a shag.

What I'm saying is, I have a relatively big nose(no not THAT big), so is there some unspoken rule that I shouldn't get my hair cut short? I got a comment acouple weeks ago from a friend, while he was remarking how alot of girls seemed to like me. He said "It must be the hair, dude" or some bogus like that. Obviously he has no idea what's really happening, but it still shows that people like my hair long.

Is there some website that I can go to that basically lays out all the Do's and Don'ts of haircuts?

I shave it all off once a month. Minimal effort. And chicks love to rub it.

Depends on what's congruent with your style and personality. I've looked for websites, but they aren't helpful. They'll show haircuts your Mom might like...

Recommend you find a decent stylist in your area, and give her some freedom. I live on the left coast, and can find such for $25 a visit. Say to the stylist "I am not sure what to do with my hair. I want something that fits who I am, and would be attractive to women. You have freedom to recommend something quite different from what I have."

^^ Mine is #3 when I don't do anything to it. It's closer to #4 when I do.

Wondering if I should stay with what works, or trim the shag off and go clean cut. For who I am/what I do, clean cut would fit the stereotype.

I've been reading alot about facial shapes/features playing a big part in what hair style you should go for. Still torn between a basic flip cut(short, gelled, front spike) or a cut like Owen Wilson(long shag, bangs). According to the facial shape, I have the face of a model(in other words, should cut my hair and reveal face). Yet my nose is pretty prominent, so it also tells me I should keep the bangs.

Fvck.

I only have 2 rules with getting a haircut.

1. request the hottest chick to cut your hair
2. game her

I like to pull the line..."Just make me look good." I think its the man version of fishing for a compliment though. haha!

I'm trying to get something like #3. Not quite long enough yet but it's close. I used to have the clean cut gel look...but I'm not sure if it was best for me. My face is kind of the innocent pretty boy style, so I think longer hair gives me a little more rugged look. If your face is naturally masculine and/or rugged then maybe a shorter more 'neat' style might be the best choice for you.
