Talking to a barber about a new hairstyle

So, I was thinking of getting a haircut inspired by JGL.

Other than showing a picture of what I want, is there anything I need to tell my barber? What are the differences in cutting with scissors vs. clippers?

Note: I'm asian and the hair on the sides of my head like to stick out if that would affect your tips at all.

Also, a related question. I've been in the habit (for a long, long time) of washing my hair every day. I know this is drying out my scalp and causing dandruff, but my hair gets real greasy even after a single day. What am I supposed to do?

Re your second question: I had the same problem. I started progressively reducing frequency of hair washing, as well as dramatically reducing amount of shampoo used. Sometimes I would also use shampoo substitutes: simple soap, showering gel, baking soda.

The problem went away very quickly.

They have something called dry shampoo which you spray into your hair to make it less greasy, you could try it between days, or even like baby powder would work, just a small poof of it.

Your head shape is really the thing here. Why this works on JGL because he has a narrow head. I have a bigger head, so I'd look like an orange on a toothpick.
