Hey everyone!

I've been growing my hair out for quite a while now, and I'm at a point where I'm not really sure what to do with all the extra length. Btw i have pretty thin hair.

I'd rather keep the back of my neck relatively clean and keep some kind of man bun as my main hairstyle.

1. Firstly, i really like wearing my hair down, but especially now that it's gotten really long, I've found it much harder to style. I don't really like how it looks when it's just left completely down at this length, so I'd really appreciate any recommendations for ways to style it!

2. Then i'm really unsure about what to do with the contours. I feel like cleaning things up a bit around the ears and the neck could make the hairstyle look much better, but I'm not sure what would suit my hair best. What do you guys think I should do with the contours?

3. What do you guys think of the hairstyles in the photos? I'm especially curious about your thoughts on them because if I cut my hair into more of a lob shorter length, I probably wouldn't be able to do the hairstyle in photo #2 and #3 anymore. Do you think it's worth keeping the extra length just for that style, or would you go for the shorter cut ?

4. Honestly, I feel like one of the only hairstyles that really suits me is a slick back. I’m also considering cutting it shorter and just combing it back instead of keeping the man bun. The little hairs around the sides are annoying too, especially since it’s always windy where I live.

Looking for advice on what to do with my long hair / man bun
