Help me ATOT: hair style

[archetypaul]

I've had the same hair style for the last 12 years and i'm finally looking to change it up. Below is a picture from a few years ago that shows how i normally wear my hair. I haven't cut it since november so that i have a little more length to yield more options.

please help me with some suggestions, hopefully with pics of examples.

what i'm looking for:
- professional, yet casual (or a changeable style like "hair up or hair down" like my hair is currently)
- low maintainence. i'm kinda done with spiking the front of my hair up, would prefer something that will fluff/stay/hold by itself without the need of products. something i can wake up, maybe fix with my fingers, and then go with.
- nothing too short. i want my style to be thick and adjustable, nothing like a buzz cut.

decent picture of what my hair usually looks like (several inches longer atm)

help me ATOT, you're my only hope.

I could see Tracy Morgan pulling that off.

I would say go to a new, well recommended hairdresser first, and then ask him/her for advice.

he was asking about a haicut, not how to get all gayed up.

1) Don't get so much trimmed on the sides/bangs... makes you look like either a child or someone who has a receding hairline. Let the sides grow out a bit more

2) Don't use shitty gel (assumption based on the 'oops, came in my hair' look in your pic).

3) Ask your barber/stylist to texturize your hair next time. Basically depending on the person doing it there are two different ways. Some people use a sort of special razor/scissor to make your hair uneven lengths..feels like a slight tug when they do it. Others just manually cut some pieces more than others when it's being cut. This will give the appearance that it's slightly fluffed up/messy(in a stylish way) just by running your fingers through it and look like you have product in it when you really dont. It also makes you look like less of an 8 year old boy.

4) Do something with those sideburns.. they look like they were hacked off at a weird angle. Let that part of your hair grow out a bit more along with the bangs in step 1.
