Do you want to keep the curls? You could try a relaxing treatment and open up a few more options.

Well, I'm not attached to the super tight curls, but I wouldn't want super-straight hair. I'd be more than happy to open up options.

I'll tell you the truth. It looks bad. You don't look even close to JFK, I don't think you could, get that out of your head. I think your best bet is with a short hair cut. You kind of looks like a young Edward Norton to me. You have a similar face/head. I'd look at photos of him to see what might look good on you.

I had a friend who looked liked you, he just did a buzz cut all the time because when he grew his hair out it looked so bad. Cut it all off!

I agree. Your current look is not bad at all. If you like it, keep it.

Have you ever shaved your head? It might look good. Although, I think your current cut looks fine

Here's my advice WMMK: do something simple that you can replicate often. Stop looking at pictures of models. Those pictures all show hair that was styled 30 minutes before the picture was taken. Unless you're getting a haircut every 10 days, you won't be able to replicate those pictures. Trust me, I've tried. I settle for very simple haircuts and try to get them often.

^Funny you should mention that. I was actually just looking at the Acne site to look for some new chinos when I came across this model. I was going to ask how hard it'd be to get my hair to look like that, but I guess you sort of answered my question.

Anyway, I also saw this:

elsewhere. The guy (Andrew Bird) has a somewhat high hairline and it doesn't look like anyone put to much time or effort into making his hair looking that way. Could I pull off that look well/easily, and would it flatter my face reasonably well?

I think I've said this before, but I like your hair. It's badass, in an endearingly nerdy sort of way. I have a high forehead, and I keep my hair fairly short, but I have straight hair.

If you want something different, find a good stylist, like others have said. It's worth the extra money, especially when you're trying a new style.

I agree. What you have now is not bad at all, but a stylist could enhance it if you want a change.
