I have a friend of mine that has longer hair than me in the front and sides on behalf of my trim and he also needs a trim, BAD!! But I don't know how to tell him without making it look like I'm jealous, cause I'm not. It may not be any of my buisness, it's just a tiny opinion of mine, and I just may not tell him at all for the best. Plus, my aunt gave me my trim (which I'm very proud of) and she just doesn't like the state his hair is in right now either. So what should I do about it?
Since your aunt thinks his hair is in bad shape, and she is good at giving trims, get her to ask him if he would like to get a trim. Since you don't want to make it seem like you are jealous, this sounds like a good idea. It is up to your "friend" if he wants a trim or not. If it truly if bad, get your aunt to convince him that it is. I see that you can trust your aunt, so it should be no problem :)

Tonez, your friend does not need a trim any more than you "need" a buzz cut because someone else thinks that is the "right" way you "should" have your hair. Nobody responds well to being told, "You have chosen to look bad and I (along with my aunt) know what is best for you." Even worse to do that to a friend. :-(
On a productive note you can tell him, "My aunt trimmed my hair for me. She is great because she listened to my needs and helped me with my long hair goals." Helpfully add that she could do the same for him if he wants. That lets him gracefully say no, he wants his hair as is or appreciatively concede he has been wanting a trim. That is of course if he likes your haircut. You never know, he might have the same poor opinion of your hair that you have of his. "No way would I let her touch my hair, then I'd look as bad as you do!" Isn't that sort of thing nicer left unsaid?

I think you should say nothing to your frined. Few people respond well to unsolicited advice. And he may think his hair, right now, is the most beautiful thing in the world. And he may be right. Because it's all a matter of taste and there's no accounting for THAT, as the saying goes.
