I'll be 53 within days, I've had long hair on and off since I was 16. The very last time I had very long hair was 2012, at 42... back then I cut the whole thing because I noticed some hair loss had started. Now, 10 years later, I can tell the loss is still going on, you can bet on it, but very slowly: I have no bald patches yet and no receding hairline, I can only see a little bit more of "naked" skin, but just a tiny little bit and using two mirrors, on my crown, so I decided to give my dear long hair one last shot untill it's too late. Just entered the fifth month of growth. Keep on growing!!!!
Your hair loss / thinning sounds pretty similar to mine. I'm definitely thinner in my crown than when I was younger; but as I've aged I've just become a little better at accepting it. If it ever goes completely thin than I think I'll get a transplant.
@@EricBandholz Honestly I don't see my hair going "completely thin" too soon being at this point at nearly 53 (same as for you IMO, if you are in your early 40, right when I first noticed some loss had started on me). Anyway, sure like hell crown (and even some more) will show, sooner or later. No transplant for me. I think I'll go a very decent Clint Eastwood instead, as I have comparatively more hair than he did at my actual age (for reference 1982-1983). But hey, to each his own ;-)
@@mellilore great approach, having your own hair is much more satisfying. Look at Lex Barker in the Old Shatterhand movie - he had receding hairline but still looked amazing
Been growing out my hair for 3+ years. Biggest thing I've learned is that my hair is wavey, not straight. Trying to blow dry and make wavey hair straight makes mine frizzy. I finger comb my hair and use leave in conditioner and curl cream, no frizz and I get compliments every day from random people about my hair. Also, careful with hair ties. Get nylon for putting your hair in a bun for bed and nylon hair ties for every day use. I had a big problem with breakage from cotton hair ties. I've never used styling paste or sea salt spray. For most people seasalt spray makes grease and oils stay off their hair, mine for whatever reason gets greasy from sea salt spray and I'd rather not have to wash my hair every day. I wash mine every 3 days and use dry shampoo every 2 days.
I’ve been growing my hair for about 8 and a bit months now and I have discovered I have wavy hair too but mine always goes frizzy when I try to dry it so I’m going to try what you said about just finger combing it and not trying to make it straight
@@frivolouspanda if you're drying it by rubbing a towel on your head it's going to be frizzy regardless. I let mine air dry after wrapping it in a microfiber towel. If I'm in a hurry I use a diffuser attachment on my hair dryer. Then once it's damp I put in some leave in conditioner and curl cream. Theres a leave in conditioner on Amazon that you can find by just searching "mens leave in conditioner" that has a bourbon and cedar scent that's pretty good.
Ahh thanks man I’ll have to keep an eye out for them nylon hair bands I been losing hair around my hairline last year and I am really trying to keep my hair healthy now and hopefully regrow my lost hair
Bro same here... My hair is also wavy, dry and frizzy.. when my hair is of eyebrow length,they are manageable... People call out me for my dry hair... I also have a big forehead and not good hairline.. but I have seen people looking good with bad hairline and big forehead... Whatever I do my hair gets dry and frizzy and impossible to manage . I will try your tips.. people always tell me to use conditioner or apply oil,why I have already applied it 🙂🤣
Been growing my hair out since 2020 and made the bad mistake of not getting it trimmed for over a year. My ends were very damaged and I was also getting bad knots whenever I put it in a bun. But even after just one trim last month, my hair feels and looks way better! Good tips. Also I like the light set up. It is a little "distracting" and the cuts when you punch in on your face look more abrupt because there is a color switch. But I still think it is unique and cool so if you like it, I think it works!
I didn't trim my hair for about 2 and half years and never had a problem Of course, I have a dryer scalp that let me get away with washing only once a week. I started this particular journey, as with you, in 2020, and can't wait to see my third years progress. Best of luck, man 🤘
Damn you explained exactly what’s happening with my hair right now, haven’t had a trim in a year now, will go get a haircut next month , thanks for the comment I have been losing a ton of hair around my temples this last year hopefully this slows it down a bit
@@pipespeeps5349 I don’t know lol I cut my long hair super short about 4 months ago because my hair was falling out because I kept tying it, but I get hair transplant next year
Hey Eric you guys got me started on the beard journey a few years ago and now im tryna grow my hair long for 2nd time. 8 months in and this video is a great motivator to keep it growing! And the lights look wicked. Thanks for all your awesome videos fuelling the stoke for beards and hair man!!
One thing I’ve learned growing hair.. the less you wash with shampoo and harmful chemicals, the better. Sometimes I’ll go a few weeks not using shampoo. Your hair will get used to it. Stripping your hair of natural oils everyday will make your skin work overtime for creating more oils. Everything will balance itself out.
@@Landstalker1999 nooo. Do not use soap. If you are going to wash hair. Make sure you get a good quality shampoo with no Parabens and sulphates! Washing your hair with straight soap will clog follicles and leave your hair extremely dry.
Sitting at the 2.5 year mark of growing and I absolutely love having long hair. Looking a lot like Greg just before he cut his. Got a few trims but mainly it was just time, but I won't be giving it up anytime soon.
My hair is 21in. Regular trims was essential as I wanted all one length. Im 61 and not a strand of gray. I have men and women approach me all the time. They ask what I do to keep it looking so good. First off, it took me 6 years to get it looking so good. Also, I use Sesame Oil twice each week. Believe me, I took a lot of flack, during the growing phase. Some days, I wanted to give up. But, I noticed that every three days,, it looked better. I wash my hair daily. The Sesame Oil protects it against dryers. I use Lemon Oil Head and Shoulders Shampoo and Elive Shampoo and Elise Conditioner. Now, my hair is straight. Always, always rinse out the product. My hair is now two inches shy of my belt line. I rarely do a ponytail as it stretches the hair. Good Luck!
What I want and what I have is in constant conflict with one another. I'm a 26 year old male and have longish hair (used to have it extremely long and tied into a ponytail, now it's more like medium length) but I also don't have the most optimal in terms of beard growth and wear glasses. I desperately want the grown out look and have been doing so albeit not the way I want it to, and I feel like my genes don't really comply. My hair is wavy and thus my 'curls' only become visible when my hair has grown out some. I hate it and wish I could have had either fully straight hair or fully curly hair. My beard is still kind of patchy although I keep it neatly trimmed, and I'm on minoxidil to increase my hairs there. My beard must be what frustrates me the most because I've wanted to have a full beard ever since I was fourteen, and now I'm twelve years down the line and still not happy about it. I won't give it up though. I'd rather be bald on my scalp than on my cheeks so if the minoxidil won't give me anything then I'd even be willing to sacrifice every single hair on the top of my head for a beard transplant, although I don't imagine that that's what it would take. I don't like looking like a boy so I'm working what I have currently in regards to the beard. My most dense areas are the sideburns, under the chin and in the neck, though I regularly shave a large portion of the neck away. I hate that my beard is not fuller around my mouth because I sometimes get so insecure when I look into the mirror. To me, it feels as though a trans woman is looking back at me, not a man. People don't seem to agree with the way I look at myself but still, I wish I could look a bit more like you, Eric. My hair has kind of the same texture and pattern but mine is a little darker. My beard looks sort of full when allowed to grow longer but then it also tends to look unkempt because my beard is curly and thin.
Got to tell you, that BA videos encouraged me to grow a beard when I thought I couldn't. And now hair content? Please and thank you! Starting from short sides has a drawback - waiting for said sides to match the rest. I am now over a year growing just sides, regularly trimming back and top. I am not giving up as I too enjoy this effort. Didn't notice the lights :)
Great video, thanks for the avice. Almost 3 months into growing out my first beard, thinking about growing out my hair too. Didn't notice the lighting until you mentioned it, looks good...
Great video man. I'm actually letting my hair grow long,and I definitely get a little frustrated sometimes, because of bad hair days. But your video encourages me to keep on going. By the way I loved the new lights setup. I think multiple colors is really cool.
Started not cutting my hair in November 2019 it's to the middle of my back now. I like the look of having it long but it is annoying to deal with. Showers take hours it feels like dealing with my mane. And I could easily weave someone a nice toupee once a month with the amount of hair that comes out on a daily basis from either breakage, male pattern hair loss, or just terminal hairs deciding to stop clinging on. But somehow its all still there no matter how much shedding occurs. Anyway I have been thinking of getting like 6 inches cut off to maybe feel better and have less knots and issues. But still I wouldnt get rid of my long hair even with all that crap I just said.
Hey man I am 22 and I love my long hair I tie it up everyday but last year started to experience hair loss around my temples well on one side of my temples mainly and it’s it actually has a slight pain there I feel nearly everyday but I still will keep my long hair will just have to get a hair transplant down the line
I haven't cut my hair not even the split ends since 2011, and it got to terminal length about five years ago. I let it grow evenly from a completely shaved head when I noticed my top was thinning. Once I got past the awkward stage I started to get lots of compliments and girls talking to me and wanting to date me just because of my hair. And what's funny is that it's less maintenance the longer it is. I have curls so as long as I wash condition and comb it out and drip dry it once or twice a week it looks great all the time. If I sweated a lot and my scalp needs washed then I just put my hair in a bun and get the scalp without getting the bun wet. It combs right back into the dry part nicely. I do construction so keeping it in a pony tail does good to keep the curls locked and and avoid dirt and get frizzy. Another thing I can do for more volume is head bang the water out and then let it hang dry. If I want smoother shinier tight curls for a formal event I will dry my hair in a ponytail before bed. When it lays across a pillow the curls can really dry in tight. I don't need to use any hair spray or gel. To get the tangles out I will pull the thick locks apart from the bottom. My hair gets dreadlocked after just a few days so it has to be pulled out of tangles before combing. So if you're worried about all that then you should grow your hair as long as possible especially if you're buff or ripped. The long hair with the muscle drives women crazy. They call me Tarzan a lot. And they think I spend money to keep my hair prettier than their but I rarely have to mess with it. Once a week at most do I comb it brush it. So don't let it intimidate you. Become tarzan.
I’ve attempted to grow my hair out every year since 2019 but always felt like “it stopped growing” at some point and wound up cutting it. Now it’s shoulder length and the biggest game changer for me personally was brushing it! Idk why it’s just made a huge difference for me
I've never been a fan of long hair on men. Now bear in mind that I started going bald at 23 and I'm currently 47. And I've been shaving my head for 20 plus years. But I think that Eric wears it well.
Have had long hair for about 4 years now and am currently past shoulder length. Not sure how much longer I can keep it though, as I will have med school interviews this fall and don’t know if it would be seen as unprofessional.
I am on month 18 of growing my hair out. No trim, nothing. I saw the title and got a little frustrated. Turned out to be a great video because I have done exactly what you're talking about. Now, I'm here and have no idea what to do.
I love this channel, but I am bald (not by choice) so I probably didn't need to watch this lol. But hey, if you got tips for bald guys with beards, I'd like to see that.
Always on and off had long hair since I was like 12 (28 now) and the longest I've ever had it was mid way down my back but every 4 or 5 years I shave my head and donate the hair and start the process over for fun 😁
Leave the softener in??? I have always heard moms telling their daughters.. you didn't get the conditioner out and make them rinse it again. I just need some clarity and opinions on this. Thanks. I probably over rinse it out and that is because of the "experience" described above.
I've very long hair about 6 inches past my waist, I never cut it at all my hairs always looked after itself and no I don't have split ends but I only wash it once a week with a good 2 in 1 shampoo and let it dry naturally that's all it needs no fancy products needed.
I have hardly any hair on top but the sides and back are shoulder length. Not a great look until I put on my custom toupee ( baseball cap) then it looks better. I don't care what people think. Looks fade with age just do the best with what you got.
Well.. my hair is grown up to the middle of my chest, i lost a god 20 hairs every time i brush it in the morning for months and months, doas that mean my hair is all broken and i must cut it?, i thought the daily hair lost was normal..
for about eight years i have long hair now (and before when i was between 11 and 14). however i literally just let it grow until navel length and then cut it to shoulder length each time. idk, it just works this way. both things have their highlights. sure, the navel length looks nice, when you swing it around and stuff, but what good does it do with the split ends? shoulder length is less impressive, but it looks neat all straight cut. i just had a major cut 3 weeks ago. back to shoulder length for a while.
I'm growing my hair out for the first time in like 20 years. My hair is thick and dry. I just rinse with water and once maybe twice a week I just condition. If I use shampoo literally ever my dandruff is horrible. I actually my beard conditioner in my hair.
I tried to grow my hair long and just couldn't deal with the cowlics and mess so i went from one extreme to the other. I became part of the bald and the beardiful. Lol. Seemed strange at first but now I love it.
Been growing out my buzz cut for almost a year. Still isn't anywhere close to long because its an undercut and just the top im growing, will prob be another year
3 years last month. Beat Carlos and gregg. You gotta go three years to get the sexy flow. Have had trims. But the girls love it. I’ve met the most wonderful girl, partly cos of my hair. It was an attraction point for her. Turns out she’s an incredible human. Hair defo helped. To think, three years ago I started growing it as a way of changing an moving past heartache and now it has helped me find love. Go figure. X
I've been growing my hair for 5 or 6 years and it's almost 2 feet long. Always wear a bandana or something under a hard hat. Found that out the hard way.
If you stop washing your hair everyday the oil will eventually slow down, by washing everyday your head makes more oil to replace what you just washed away🤷🏻♂️🤗
Hey man and I am 22 and I really hope this doesn’t happen to me , only one side of my temple has receded and it hurts I got a feeling it’s when I tie it up everyday and you can still have long hair tho bro even if you are receding
here's a tip. Just don't give &#$% about what people think and go on with your life. 3 years went by fast and my hair is long as hell and honestly the process went by quick.
It's not the type of hair what makes it oily, but the damage done from using those chemical based shampoos, like washing hair with shampoo every day, duuude, you are literally asking to be bald. Or is it that you thought that the chemicals in the products are just so safe and totally natural? I mean do whatever you want with your hair that's on you, but don't put it out. It's absolutely horrible like the society just accepts every fucking narrative as safe and healthy, just because a few bunch of so called professionals said so. Do you think that our ancestors were using some unpronounceable shit on their hair? I don't think so. All you need is warm water and finish with cold. If you want a fragrance put a drop of an essential oil diluted in water and massage into your hair. #nopoo
You almost had me with the title. But great content!
Yes, and for anyone reading this g watch Trav's channel as he goes into more details about which products work best for which hair types.
It can look good and bad on men its both, it depends on the dude, some can pull of the look and some can't

I am on month 18 of growing my hair out. No trim, nothing. I saw the title and got a little frustrated. Turned out to be a great video because I have done exactly what you're talking about. Now, I'm here and have no idea what to do.
I love this channel, but I am bald (not by choice) so I probably didn't need to watch this lol. But hey, if you got tips for bald guys with beards, I'd like to see that.
Always on and off had long hair since I was like 12 (28 now) and the longest I've ever had it was mid way down my back but every 4 or 5 years I shave my head and donate the hair and start the process over for fun 😁
You're a good man. Awesome to hear.
Leave the softener in??? I have always heard moms telling their daughters.. you didn't get the conditioner out and make them rinse it again. I just need some clarity and opinions on this. Thanks.
I probably over rinse it out and that is because of the "experience" described above.
lights were awesome 👍👍 like the new look too
I've very long hair about 6 inches past my waist, I never cut it at all my hairs always looked after itself and no I don't have split ends but I only wash it once a week with a good 2 in 1 shampoo and let it dry naturally that's all it needs no fancy products needed.
I have hardly any hair on top but the sides and back are shoulder length. Not a great look until I put on my custom toupee ( baseball cap) then it looks better.
I don't care what people think. Looks fade with age just do the best with what you got.
These were great tips
Are you in NYC? who cuts your hair?
I LOVE that jacket! Where is it from??
It's the Belstaff Drover leather jacket. Unfortunately, it's no longer available. I do love the jacket.
@@EricBandholz Ah, what a shame. Time to hunt for something similar. It’s dynamite!
Really enjoyed this vid! Question: why sea salt water, besides the minerals in the sea salt?
It gives texture and a light hold to help the hair look more interesting.
@@EricBandholz thanks!
Well.. my hair is grown up to the middle of my chest, i lost a god 20 hairs every time i brush it in the morning for months and months, doas that mean my hair is all broken and i must cut it?, i thought the daily hair lost was normal..
for about eight years i have long hair now (and before when i was between 11 and 14).
however i literally just let it grow until navel length and then cut it to shoulder length each time.
idk, it just works this way. both things have their highlights. sure, the navel length looks nice, when you swing it around and stuff, but what good does it do with the split ends? shoulder length is less impressive, but it looks neat all straight cut. i just had a major cut 3 weeks ago. back to shoulder length for a while.
You almost got me, because my long hair used to look hella cool on me 🤣
Why just "almost"?? If you know, it looks cool, then why you're not going for it once more? Waiting exactly for what??
I'm growing my hair out for the first time in like 20 years. My hair is thick and dry. I just rinse with water and once maybe twice a week I just condition. If I use shampoo literally ever my dandruff is horrible. I actually my beard conditioner in my hair.
I tried to grow my hair long and just couldn't deal with the cowlics and mess so i went from one extreme to the other. I became part of the bald and the beardiful. Lol. Seemed strange at first but now I love it.
Oil is great for keeping long hair in good condition especially if you have wavy /curly hair
Don Johnson's hairstyle in Miami Vice.
That was the look we 80s dudes wanted to have.
Hey, can you make tutorial on how to get a moustache like Raju from RRR film?
Your hair looks great, eric! You’re looking good my friend.
Long hair is for young guys. If you're older and your hair is thinning, cut it short. Long thinning hair is not attractive.
Been growing out my buzz cut for almost a year. Still isn't anywhere close to long because its an undercut and just the top im growing, will prob be another year
Are you still growing out your hair? How was the awkward phase, how did you pass that phase and what's your goal?
Have always loved long hair on guys
Im 62 and my hair is 25in long. I get a ton of compliments. Real straight and all one length. Im goung for 30in.
3 years last month. Beat Carlos and gregg. You gotta go three years to get the sexy flow. Have had trims. But the girls love it. I’ve met the most wonderful girl, partly cos of my hair. It was an attraction point for her. Turns out she’s an incredible human. Hair defo helped. To think, three years ago I started growing it as a way of changing an moving past heartache and now it has helped me find love. Go figure. X
I've been growing my hair for 5 or 6 years and it's almost 2 feet long. Always wear a bandana or something under a hard hat. Found that out the hard way.
Yep.
Thanks
Use jojoba oils...cotton seed oil...
First three minutes you almost sold me on growing out long hair😂 but i just cant
You like the 80’s look 😂
Bath spa university making eye contact
Long hair looks amazing on men 🥰
I love my long hair man
I love having long hair as A guy because I get a lot of attention when I'm not trying to and everyone wants to be very friendly 😉😁😂
@@user-nd6dh3oq3b Cool 💯 keep at it..
@@user-nd6dh3oq3b Same, I love how hair can be styled an infinite amount of ways. I love ponytails too and the half up - half down.
I like the grunge look
If you stop washing your hair everyday the oil will eventually slow down, by washing everyday your head makes more oil to replace what you just washed away🤷🏻♂️🤗
Male pattern baldness ended any hopes of ever having long hair again. The only thing I ever got from my grandfather.
Hey man and I am 22 and I really hope this doesn’t happen to me , only one side of my temple has receded and it hurts I got a feeling it’s when I tie it up everyday and you can still have long hair tho bro even if you are receding

Your hair loocks perfecttttt niceee ❤❤
Go to a hairdresser they seem to know what they’re doing as opposed to a barber unless you want it short barber is best
here's a tip. Just don't give &#$% about what people think and go on with your life. 3 years went by fast and my hair is long as hell and honestly the process went by quick.
You look perfect..
No it doesn't.
most men, i cant pull it off.
It’s Obi-Wan
i grew my hair so i didn't have to talk to my barber anymore
ya still need a trim sometimes. however you can do it on your own, no barber needed.
Barbers are a pain. Always ramble on about sports that I know nothing about 😂
It's not the type of hair what makes it oily, but the damage done from using those chemical based shampoos, like washing hair with shampoo every day, duuude, you are literally asking to be bald. Or is it that you thought that the chemicals in the products are just so safe and totally natural? I mean do whatever you want with your hair that's on you, but don't put it out. It's absolutely horrible like the society just accepts every fucking narrative as safe and healthy, just because a few bunch of so called professionals said so. Do you think that our ancestors were using some unpronounceable shit on their hair? I don't think so. All you need is warm water and finish with cold. If you want a fragrance put a drop of an essential oil diluted in water and massage into your hair. #nopoo

Eh! I love my long hair :)
Never go to a barber. Go to a salon
Speak for yourself, Bandholz. My long hair looks looks almost a little **too** good on me.
Well, you've been watching these videos for about a decade. So you clearly know a thing or two. :)
Lets all find a new word besides Rock..😖
Yeah, how about the word "ICONIC" Now that's a word you don't hear everyday. 😫😫
The reason you have oily hair is BECAUSE your washing it every day lol.
Isn’t conditioner for girls lol 😂💁🏻♀️
No
Bruh what
Wtf 😂 no lol, you are a joke to have that logic in mind.
Dud, you look tired.
Great great... everyone's growing out their hair now. And I'm shaving my 18 inch hair soon cuz I'm dealing with thinning
