how do i style my hair??

i have straight-ish hair that like has 0.1% wave, but its suuper fine. i get oily very quickly and i really wish i could build up volume. idk what to do!!!

i teasing my hair is a hassle and also not THAT volume but more subtle and generally lifting my roots and having it look “fuller”?

also, where do alt people get haircuts??? everytime i fucking ask for a specific cut and i show photos and everything i still somehow end up with a fucking bowl cut its miserable.

i dont trust myself enough to cut my own hair. i suppose i could let a friend go ham on it but idk!!

The bowl thing is really a universal experience tbh, this would be the advice I'd give. Go to the salon to at least get your hair trimmed and layered (Choppy, V shape, etc.) and then when you go home cut your bangs how ever you want, or modify the parts you don't like about the cut. THEN you'll have to use the trusty heat tool (curler, blowdryer, straightener, ETC.) BECAUSE as much as I hate it, you have to style your hair every single time to get the desired looks you may be looking for. Even if you don't like it at first you'll find what works for you! Hope this helps <3

i appreciate the response :) i think after i had made the og post I had gotten a haircut at a normal cheap salon. although, i overexplained my point on how i wanted my hair to the hairdresser and she just went

"so... a shag?"

i wanted to cry

but it came out great!

i do have a curling iron but it has a huge barrel, so the curles are not as fine as i'd wish them to be :(
