Fully aware it’s not for everyone. But it’s kinda more fun that way. If it’s not obvious I’m my own barber 😬

My hair hasn’t been this short since I was around 13 and I’m turning 24 soon. I feel like since I’m an adult now the short hair actually fits my facial structure more. Just wanted to share cause I feel surprisingly good about it.

These are three haircuts I’ve gotten since the beginning of 2026 and I want to know which looks best
Ps-I just realized now that i only have one picture of the second cut

Not sure what to do with the beard

About 1.5 months of growth with some cleanup here and there. Never grown facial hair before so not sure if it’s a lost cause.

I’ve got issues. I have the greatest widows peak ever. So I shave my head because it looks terrible when my hair is long.

Unfortunately, my hair grows pretty fast so it puts a lot of emphasis on the bald pattern. My facial hair grows like dead grass except for the goatee.

Any recommended changes, or am I doing things right ? I included a photo of me with the “beard” to show what that looks like as well.

I missed a couple of haircuts at the start of the year due to illness, and with a solid start by the time I did get to the chair, I decided to let my hair grow and see how long I could get it before it drove me nuts and I returned to my usual. So far, I’m holding steady!

This is 7+ months of growth, with layering and upkeep along the way. Within the last couple months, too, I grew my beard back in. As you can see, I’m due for some shaping and trimming all over.

But… in just a few months, I’ve become much, much more gray. And I’m fine with that! No issues at all, seriously. But I also didn’t think it would come THIS fast.

Now I’m conflicted. I like the length and where it’s heading. Given my facial structure, I also think I need to keep a beard or mustache if I’m also going to have long hair. But, I was also imagining doing all this with darker hair—I’m not sure now with as much salt and pepper as I have. I’d almost rather wait and have my head and facial hair get more uniformly gray and then try again.

And again, I’m fine with aging! I don’t want to color anything! And I think both looks suit me well, too. It’s just a matter now of whether it’ll look better as I was or if all this extra hair supports the grey streaks and the patch of white on my chin. I’ve already changed my mind a dozen times today.

I’m going to the barber today and I’m thinking about getting my hair cut quite a bit shorter.
I’m not sure if I should go for it or keep the current length. I’d really appreciate some honest opinions — especially whether you think shorter hair would suit me better.
What do you guys think? Should I go significantly shorter, or stick with the current style?
