First thing first no I won't grow it out long again. People keep telling me this and I have to clarify I don't want long hair. (Sorry if it feels a bit blunt)

Now that's out of the way, yeah how do I give my hair shape? If I don't adjust my hair every few seconds it turns into a flat mop with no shape and doesn't compliment my head. I just got a layered cut and it looks nice styled but I have very thin straight Asian hair. so after styling it doesn't even last a few hours let alone overnight. I have tried everything through the course of three years.

I have tried sea salt spray, hair texturing putty, clay, flat iron, curling iron, hair dryer with comb, volumizing spray, any other spray product for holding my hair. Even if it does style nicely it just goes flat again after a few hours. I don't apply a large amount of product as to make my hair oily and heavy/weighed down.

I live in California so the climate is dry most of the time. I have tried a lot of different layered haircuts which look nice after styling which again, doesn't last. Do I just have to accept I have flat hair and just realize that a short hair cut isn't for me?

The iPhone works normally. I plugged it in for a second and it does still charge, immediately unplugged it after a second. It's an iPhone 17 pro max, owned for around 5 months. But obviously it's not safe to continue charging / using like this.

The issue is as you can see the charging port is burnt after using the charger. I don't know what brand or cable the classmate used, it just burned the port. It smells burnt definitely but everything else works properly. I didn't realize until I got home and looked closely at the charred port. what do I do? The phone is still under warranty.
