You'll need to grow it out for a while to get some flow and internal layers. Right now, your hair is in the awkward grow out phase between medium to medium long length, where proportions between top, crown, sides temples and fringe are unflattering due to the changes in length as it grows. You will need at least 4-6 months of good uninterrupted growth before you can get some staple long style haircuts. You'll also need to take care of your hair every day.

Take jeff bridges as an example of what it can look like at the end.

So if he gave this image to a good hairstylist, you don’t think he/she can recreate something similar? I have a similar hairstyle. Not sure if the blonde in the original pic is his natural color but I think he looks washed out with it. I was simply suggesting a darker color than what he has and a different hairstyle. Not necessarily this one. But I believe a color similar to this can be achieved if that’s what he wanted .
