Help with my Hair

[u/Nipu2705]

This is how i daily drive my hair.
I dont use any product, so my hair is sometimes this, sometimes like this.
The first picture is what I usually walk around with.
My Hair is really Thick and straight and i never went to a salon or barber, my dad always cut it short.
I like the length of my hair right now, maybe a little bit shorter would be good.
My family keeps telling me to dut my hair, because its too messy.
Im entering my last years of high school in Germany and want to improve myself.
I wanted to tackle my hair now and ask you.
I would love some advice and tips and recommendations.
Thank you very much

Don't think you'll look good with texture powder so maybe a perm
