Hi there, I'm a guy and I've had medium to long hair all my life, but I'm really tired of it. I really like this hairstyle, but I was wondering if anyone could tell me what number I should ask for at the barbers? Thanks Here's the style:  |

Looks like a #3 to me but I would start with a #4 and work your way down to whatever length you're comfortable with. ------------- HAWG |

Remember that hair texture and thickness will have a major affect on the outcome. If you have fine hair, don't start at a number 3, start at a 4 or 5. That guy looks like he has very thick hair. If your hair is thick and dark like the photo, the a #3 should be good, but if you have lighter, finer hair, you could look bald with a #3 cut. |
