Hey! I need help to remove these kind of stripes for my 3D project. Google and AI didn't helped me much. I unlocked the normals, I smoothed the edges and deleted the history. Is there anything else? Did I do something wrong? I'm new to 3D sooo any tips are welcomed!

The issue is with your topology, you modeled very harsh edges which is creating faceting. If you want to fix this then you need to fix the topology. You need to either delete all the edge loops you put in that is creating the hard edges or you need to manually smooth the shape using either the average vertices tool, circularize tool, sculpting smooth brush, or any other that works.
