Watching this video as someone who’s been growing out their hair for the first time is funny cause I see the negatives involved yet I can’t see myself giving up I just HAVE to try long hair at least once in my life
I feel this, it's like I have to try it at least once. The last time I tried (middle school) I didn't have the knowledge of hair that I do now so it dont even truly know what it will look like with proper care and intentional haircuts
Long hair is just so liberating. While it is time consuming and high maintenance it doesn't feel like your options are limited. There are many ways to modify it with styling or pinups and stuff.
As a woman who has gone from very short hair to lower back hair, it’s kind of insane to see how men realizing that there’s so much maintenance with long hair
SAME like men think it is just a piece of something that is there, and you don't need to to care of...? they really don't bother to care about anything related to a femenine perceive trait, thats why so many men makes jokes about woman being superficial but when they decide to experiment with stuff related to it as something OBVIOUS like long hair requiring treatment they are flabbergasted lmao
Well honestly, Since us men are expected to have short hair, it’s way more overwhelming learning tips and facts about hair than women who knew about hair care since they where a child since they where actually taught if that makes sense
yes, i feel you, same here, my hair is just about to reach my shoulder and it takes me ~ 5x amount of time in bath room compare to when i were a short hair boy -_-
I tried for a long while, but I ended up just starting dreads and haven't regretted it a year in at least. It suits my lifestyle and it feels like so much less maintenance.
For healthy hair growth that doesn't make you poor, consider the following: 1. Legal and illegal drugs are not only expensive, but also bad for scalp blood circulation and thus for hair growth. 2. Shampoo is used exclusively for direct cleansing of the scalp. When rinsing, enough shampoo runs over the lengths and tips to clean them. Shampoo on lengths and especially on tips promotes hair breakage due to dehydration. 3. Hair needs more hydration and/or protein. These ingredients should make up the highest percentage in any hair conditioner, mask, etc. you use (shampoo excluded). 4. Only alcohols with a prefix such as cethyl-, lauryl-, steatyl-, etc. are good for the hair. Products high in ethyl alcohol will destroy your hair and should be avoided. 5. In order to be able to apply styling products precisely, you should first divide your hair into several sections (4 or more) and separate with large hair clips. This way you can really reach all lengths and tip, don't distribute too much product over a few, easily accessible hairs and neglect others. 6. In order to prevent hair breakage and possibly acne, you should touch your hair as little as possible with your hands after styling (transfer of sebum, etc./ hair-hand-face) and use a silk pillow or bonnet to sleep.
my hair is kinda between 4a and 3c but ive noticed that the longer it gets the less time it takes. when it was short it was way harder to define curls for me
One small but huge tip to make long hair more easy to have(good for awkward phase too); In the morning, wet your hair slightly, use a wet brush to slick it back and then put on a headband(lightly, after pulling it back, pull the headband forward slightly) In about an 30-60 minutes when your hair is 100% dry, remove headband, it'll stay back(and look nice) pretty much the whole day. My workday is basically do this and remove headband when I park my car.
Two things that really help not having as much hair in the drain: -Brush out your hair before the shower to get out most of the lose hair already -use a drain sieve/hair drain catcher to catch the last lose hair before they clog up your drain pipe (literally do this, they are like 6$) There will still be hairs in your drain, but a lot less then if you don't do this and thus might not collect in the pipe as much. Sincerely someone who had to unclog a pipe for several hours before doing this
Sieves are horrible since they let hair go under them anyways. Go for a tubshroom instead. It's a metal pipe/mushroom with a lot of holes so water goes through. It inserts inside of the hole, and has a rubber gasket at the bottom to catch all the hairs falling in.
true, I've noticed average people are more accepting of bald men (this doesn't apply to bald women sadly) than guys with long hair; it's that peasant mindset, keep growing your hairs out kings
All of you are under 25. Long hair is for women and young people. As you mature into manhood you’ll just naturally gravitate to shorter hair. Some of them don’t have a choice. It’s more masculine and practical. You and your wife sharing products and taking the same amount of time at 35 years old don’t hit like you think it’s going to.
Do you rock a good face dont care if its feminine. If you dont or just look normal. Just rock it. Dont be affected by others or your own mindgames if you like the long hair..😮just an unsolicited advice here
The confidence to get a cut like that, realize it’s not what you even want, and then just be like “I look like a 60’s mom but it’ll be fine” is crazy. Respect for you my man, you’re braver than I am LOL
I've had long hair most of my life. For me it's like... it's as much of a hassle as I make it, tbh. If I want it easy, then all I need to do is wash, condition, brush and go. Hair bands are a blessing for easy long hair maintenance too. Products are very optional. Long hair can look great without any styling what so ever, which short hair rarely can (unless we're talking buzzcut or shorter.) I can also make it hard for myself, by adding tons of products, hair dryer, irons, braiding, etc, to create specific styles. I've wavy/curly hair too, maybe a 3B, so my "easy maintenance" days means just rocking a giant poof. Embracing all that frizz, basically. That takes no effort, really. While my "high maintenance" days means defining my curls plus trying to get some volume, which takes hours. Having long hair, in and of itself, is not any more difficult than having short hair. It really depends on how complex of a style you want to have. And sure, you have to use more shampoo and conditioner per wash, but you also don't have to wash long hair as often, generally. When I've had short hair, I needed to wash it basically every other day, but with long hair I can go a week between washes. So in total I don't actualy use more product. I hate to say it, but you kinda chose to make long hair a struggle. I've known lots of men and women who just wear their long hair as is, without a lengthy hair routine, or constantly needing to fix it throughout the day.
The longer my hair gets, the easier it is to manage. I can get away with brushing it once a week and washing it once a month. The most effort I put into it is braiding it at night to keep it from getting really bad tangles.
@@JustCallMeEmily Yeah, I think there are lots of arguments for how long hair is (or can be) easier to manage than short hair. I don't even braid mine at night. I just tie it up into a loose bun, or just stuff it into a silk scarf I tie around my head. If I had a bonnet, that would be an even easier way to protect my hair at night.
Yea the layers he had in his wolf cut made it hard to put it up. I don't find it that much of a hassle because I know I can put it up in a bun or claw clip or braid it. I think there may be some mistakes he made with his hair routine, like the constant brushing and he seems to wash his hair a lot. If he has curly hair as he says brushing would be counterproductive.
@@ryptoll4801yeah you are right as a guy with long hair and bit wavy hair 〰, I can assure you that longhair is way more less maintenance than short hair, men need to go barber every 2 3 weeks if they have to maintain their specific style, I go to hair stylist once every 4 or 5 months 😁, that's a win win situation and yeah the more you get involve in hair product and hair style it's like a rabbit whole which will suck you deep inside, I think same happened with the bro he is so much obsessed with hair and haircut and his haircut is high maintenance hair cut, if gets long layered hair cut you can have multiple styles with it.
Fixing your hair constantly is so true especially for wavy hairs when not tied up. When i had long hair I just open my camera app every 5 minutes to fix it.
@@fashionelitistIn strict house holds looking feminine as a man is frowned on. So he basically implying that if it was replicated he would get his ass beat
I had a client who cut her long hair and saved it in a pony tail and had that attached to the back of a baseball cap so when she wore that cap it looked like she still had her long hair.
finally growing out my hair again (I'm a white woman with 1a or 1b hair, so essentially straight with minimal wave and natural blonde so it's kind of fine and easy to damage) and ive actually been genuinely enjoying my hair health journey and grow-out process so far. i had black box-dyed short hair for a while and the bleaching process to remove that and return to my natural blonde was brutal on my hair (i.e. fried off most of my ends, even with salon expertise) so i've been trying literally everything imaginable to help my hair return to a healthy state and to essentially be kind to my scalp and lengths. so far, treating my hair routine essentially like long, calming meditation sessions has helped my hair (and my mental health tbh) immensely. taking care of my hair is a mindful thing that i enjoy doing now, and i think a key part of haircare (if you enjoy doing so, of course) for me is to let it be a calming, unwinding start and end to my day. I only have wash day once per week, but every morning and night I oil my ends with a jasmine and flaxseed oil mix and comb it through (as I love the smell and have a pavlovian calm response to jasmine now). it's proved super peace-inducing for me and the moments of calm i get doing my hair are actually very important and beneficial to me now. long hair, while i want to get there eventually, has ceased being my sole purpose for haircare and now I just genuinely love being kind to my hair and taking the time to understand it/care for it. if anyone else is growing their hair or wants their hair to be healthy again, i hope this helps!! :) it's a journey fr but an enjoyable one (for me at least)
I was a dude who had long hair that fell around my back and my shoulders. Grew it from 2017 and cut it off in 2021 as I wanted to pursue doing shorter styles. You might experience withdrawals. Then in 2022 to the present I've been trying to grow back 4 years worth of her.
Started growing my hair in October 2022. I'm 50+ and still have thick hair. It must be the genes - I have the hair thickness of a 30 year old. Always had my hair short - feared I was going to go bald by 40 years old. Never happened and started to grow in 2022. No maintenance - no special products - no hot air dry - just wash and dry. I do use an oil product - but overall I get compliments for my natural healthy looking hair. My hair is really wavy and thick. And I only comb it once - in the morning only. Rest of the day I just use the finger comb. I have to post a video one of these days.
To me, going to the barber every 15 days is much higher maintenance than going once every few months. The most annoying part of long hair is drying ughhhh
this is so real, even worse having a fringe like it looks great when I'm done styling but then I leave the house and the wind absolutely ruins me. So so tempted to buzz it all.
watching this made me realize how little i actually care for my hair. my hair is about the same length as yours, just a lot of it, curly as hell, and very thick. i mostly only wash my hair with shampoo once a week, never brush it, and only use shampoo and conditioner. somehow it comes out looking nice anyways, but imagine how it would look if i took proper care of it. i probably wont because too lazy but imagine
I have locs and yeah I’ve trimmed them before, but there’s something about the journey with love that I can’t get over. It’s kinda hard to explain if you don’t have locs or don’t have black hair that you’ve grown out, but iykyk.
great vid! I also was getting tired of shoulder length hair. I found out I had enough length to donate it to a cause so I did that and have loved the freedom since then. Its been a few months but I am excited to see the growth cycle continue
I'm half asian and have straight dark hair. When the pandemic started I decided to grow my hair out after getting buzz cuts for a long time. 2 years of growing I hated it in the end. The hair falls out all over my desk and bed and getting out of the shower and being in a hurry is annoying. Luckily I'm almost 30 years old and not balding.
I undestand you dont want to have long hair, but I am so in love with your long hair! if I had your hair I would stay with the longer one but you look happy with the shorter one so im happy for you :D
cutting my long hair is my biggest regret. short hair is way more high maintenance with my hair type because it looks goofy no matter how i get it cut. too much volume, i feel like a clown. even if i use thinning shears. i need the extra weight of long hair. i also hate layers in long hair, it takes too much styling and its too trendy and farrah fawcett looking. adds way too much volume too. i prefer the sleek long hair without layers short hair needs more maintenance cuts because it takes a shorter amount of time for your haircut to grow out too much, and short hair frizzes and gets damaged easier because you cant just braid it at night to protect it. long hair also has more styling options to pull it back whereas short hair always eventually gets in the way and you cant just tie it up. with long hair i can just wake up, undo the braid, run a comb through it and im set for the day. with short hair i need to style it every single day and it really sucks
Bro I cut my hair YESTERDAY (2 year of growing, shoulders --> ears) and TODAY you say that you're doing it TOO. Like wtffff, I did it first!! Btw love you and your channel, f u
As a long hair guy myself I find it easy to have a blunt straight across haircut for my ends and be at extreme ease taking care of it. It allows me to braid, bun and put it up effortlesly without going insane or putting products... Heck it I dont even use conditioner and hair its just ok. Of course this works for me, face shape and hair type, fine and straight for the most part. I think layers look amazing only if u commit to style it, which does make things a lot more complicated on regular basis. Otherwise long hair can be pretty minimal even frugal.
ive been trying in vain to grow out my hair since I was a kid but mine just aint made for that lol. Finally realized the short hair looks better anyways (and good hair products last way longer). Healthy and short > Long and a mess
BRO I WANT THAT HAIR SO BAD, I lose 35kg this year and wanting to change my look so bad, i started lifting and building 'some' muscles, enuff to burn dem face fat.. now all I want to complete my final form is your exact hair, please sensei teach us how you grow that glorious God's gift of a hair of yours.
Can’t wait to suffer, been growing out my hair from a short bob to maybe mid back just to see what it’s like after 12 years of short hair just to see what it’s like
@@AlexLawSG I mean after like 6ish months of growing it out its reaching my lower nape now. so its still just relatively the same treatment with just a bit more tangling. Its got a bit of a wolf cut because I look bad when its not layered and I just have a lot of hair. But so far so good
@@DelRae I'm at the 6 month mark too! Keep on going! I sometimes just put on a headband to hold my hair back so it's not in my face. My hair is straight/2a wavy. I wish it was a bit more wavy thoo...
The shed is the realest part, even growing from an always shorter hair style to a medium long one the amount of hair you shed becomes so much more noticable. I remember getting slightly paranoid but eventually I just realized it was completely normal and hey, I'm not bald yet
I had long hair, then cut it off any 90%of my friends said long har was better. The only downside is the maintenance and downright hastle it is sometimes.
I had really long thick hair and recently cut it for a longer shag w bangs and am v happy I was able to cut it myself to what I want. I knew a barber would mess me up
I had my hair grown out to almost my ass crack. Truly the worst. Once it gets past the shoulders, shit gets rough. Buzzed it all off last week and not only am I more comfortable, I actually look better
This is so weird, i literally went through this process last month and ended up with a similar haircut to what you got. I've gotten multiple mom comments about it too. Pretty happy with it now though, it just needed time to marinate!!!
I have decently long curly hair and one of the greatest pains in life is seeing all the shed hairs in the shower. it's thin and curly so instead of falling on the floor or staying on my pillow it's locked in there so every time I shower I feel like I'm balding. Still won't cut it I look fabulous.
We actually have very very similar hairtype, length, and hairstyle. I actually cut my own hair as well. Other than shampoo and conditioner about once a week, I also use argan oil and put that in my hair after washing it.
tbh all of the concerns u raised are really trivial i don't spend exorbitant amounts of money on conditioner and i switch my pillowcases + i have a skincare routine so this si meaningless coool vid tho
I think the worst thing about having medium-long hair is how much is moves in the wind (UK weather) and makes you look like an idiot esp with thinner flowier hair lol
I've been struggling with the journey of having long hair for some time. This video definitely covered aspects that are truly challenging when it comes to maintaining long hair. It's really a love-hate situation. I identified with so many things you mentioned in this video
I have a long hair, similar length as you had and i dont really agree with a lot of things you said. Sure long hair is annoying but you used no hair tie or clip or something else to hold them? No wonder you play with them so much, if they wont hold in wind its pointless. The acne problem seems to stem directly from your hairstyle, you literally have hairs in your face. I dont use any hair products to shape my hair, i dont like having greasy face and neck afterwards. Before mentioned clip is enough for me. Conditioner also feels optional. It can already be time consuming as it is, doing it your way would surely make me insane.
fascination with long hair is the same as fascination with gym, some hate gym but go because they have to maintain good look eventually gets tired and giveup stop gym. same with hair, maintaining long hair is hard waste money oily face yada yada end up just cut short and look exactly like 99%. I see things differently, I love the feeling of gym working hard, jogging and shagness the high i get the strength i get the pain i get while doing it is liberating for me. same with hair, i love taking care of my hair, shopping for different hair products, scalp care shampoo etc and enjoy the experience of these products. Also the ability to style these long hair... trust me if u put effort into styling it, any short hair nerd PALE S in comparision to us. the volume the curls the smoothness of the hair when light shines on it, the smell of the hair etc its just something else. Same with maintaining a facial regime, when majority of men reaches 30s and look like crap because they dont bother. anyway the weak just gives up its the most natural thing to do and i like the fact that i can stand out among them
Long hair is awesome. I'm a guy and don't mind the maintenance. I have 2b type hair and usually take about 10 minutes in the bathroom during styling and product application. It's definitely time and money consuming, but I like it!
I actually just cut my waist length hair to your haircut in the first few seconds of the video, still past my shoulders but it feels sooo much better and lighter now, tho I'm still occasionally jealous when I see other people with hair that was almost as long as mine was
You look great with long hair and medium length hair jealous. Gotta try to do better with my own hair care also should replace my pillow slips more often too lol. An updated hair care video with advice for shampooing and conditioner and what to look for in conditioner and shampoo depending on your hair type would be super cool great video man.
I feel like dudes think if they cut their hair a bunch of bitches hiding behind the curtain are gonna pop out and start sucking you off cuz u got a cut and are now more “masculine “ but realistically all that’s gonna happen is you’re gonna wish u never cut it off
I'm a guy. A few years back, I grew my hair to shoulder length. I was well aware of the level of maintenance required and the potential discomfort. I work in an auto repair shop, which gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. In the winter it was okay. In the summer time, the discomfort became unbearable. As a result, I decided to switch to a flat top. A lot more comfortable.
man the acne part is so annoying, I have a middle part and my hair sort of goes over my eyebrows and the sides of my face and I have super bad acne there, so I want to have my hair covering that part of my face even more, its a never ending cycle
As a black man with dreads I don’t have much maintenance and I love how long my dreads have gotten, for reference I’ve had a buzz cut for about my whole life only growing out my hair for the first time last summer and now it’s almost down to my shoulders. My maintenance is a shampoo whenever my hair needs it and a retwist once every 2 to 3 months otherwise I just let it be and I look a lot better with long hair as well which is a big factor in me keeping it.
I hate how my hair is both very dry and very greasy. When I shampoo its really wispy and dry, but when i dont shampoo for literally 2 days it its really weighty and lifeless. It feels physically damp with grease after day 2.
Shampoo is supposed to hydrate your hair, get a different one and leave it in like 5 minutes. Then lock it in with conditioner, your hair will literally feel more alive
makes a point that long hair promotes acne development, proceeds to get a haircut with bangs against the forehead jokes aside great video i have long hair as well and am very tempted to cut it all off
this video is a gem, very relatable in regards to the difficulty of playing with it all the time and it being horrible with the wind in the outside environment. still gonna grow it out tho 😗
i've grown mine for the past year and a half it's about the same length as yours. i haven't even done any maintenance, i don't even brush my hair lol. i've still gotten a lot of compliments on it tho. didn't even plan on growing it out this long at first. it just kinda happened and i love it. your hair before and after the cut look pretty good too.
Your hair at 19:02 looks so clean you should definitely keep it like that, if the part annoys you use dry shampoo when its getting bad and keep hair oil away at all costs. Every few days wet them and then brush all the way to the left and blowdry for 1 minute then all the way to the right for a minute then down until mostly dry and it should start looking better in a couple weeks.
I have been growing my hair out for almost a 1.5 year and i did it to cover my mature hairlime i had since idk maybe 16-17. I have solid density but a huge forehead and short hair just makes me look older, but long curly hair is a bitch to maintain and washing it everyday is just impossible because it would take me 1-2 h daily, so i just do it 2 times a week and hope the styling products keep it looking nice.
Looking good, JQ. I would love a video with tips and tricks for short hair. As a fellow ex-long haired person, sometimes I find myself struggling to style it. Congratulations on the 100k
As someone with long 2c hair my experience has been very different haha. I brush once, maybe twice a day and don't use product. A big difference for me was switching to a wide tooth comb. I wash & condition twice a week, use water otherwise. I do live in the country side, so I wonder if not having all the stuff in the NYC air affects it.. I'm a big believer that the body can take care of itself, and even my skincare is drastically reduced nowadays to a single wash & SPF moisturiser with much better results. Obviously we're all different though, but just thought I'd weigh in. Ultimately you have to experiment and see if it works for you. The shed though... That I and those around me agree with.. It was a good video, informative and well made. Cool that you're into aquariums also! What's your favourite plant? Mine is Vallisneria Spiralis. I used to be into fashion also, nowadays I just wear my boots and jeans or cargos daily lol. Having looked at your brand, what difference do you think people like Jacob Hetzer or even the Rough Simmons guys have made to starting a small scale fashion house? As I'm not too aware of people doing it beforehand, at least not online, but nowadays there seem to be quite a few & I imagine competition is tough.
It looks great! I have been growing my hair out for almost two years, maintenance cuts and all. My hair looks (before the cut) like yours, but just shoulder length. I've been so torn. I've been wanting to get a hair cut as well, but I'm worried it will take away from the personality!
Anyone who tells me i would look better with short hair is trying to sabotage me and praying on my downfall

For healthy hair growth that doesn't make you poor, consider the following:
1. Legal and illegal drugs are not only expensive, but also bad for scalp blood circulation and thus for hair growth.
2. Shampoo is used exclusively for direct cleansing of the scalp. When rinsing, enough shampoo runs over the lengths and tips to clean them. Shampoo on lengths and especially on tips promotes hair breakage due to dehydration.
3. Hair needs more hydration and/or protein. These ingredients should make up the highest percentage in any hair conditioner, mask, etc. you use (shampoo excluded).
4. Only alcohols with a prefix such as cethyl-, lauryl-, steatyl-, etc. are good for the hair. Products high in ethyl alcohol will destroy your hair and should be avoided.
5. In order to be able to apply styling products precisely, you should first divide your hair into several sections (4 or more) and separate with large hair clips. This way you can really reach all lengths and tip, don't distribute too much product over a few, easily accessible hairs and neglect others.
6. In order to prevent hair breakage and possibly acne, you should touch your hair as little as possible with your hands after styling (transfer of sebum, etc./ hair-hand-face) and use a silk pillow or bonnet to sleep.
my hair is kinda between 4a and 3c but ive noticed that the longer it gets the less time it takes. when it was short it was way harder to define curls for me

One small but huge tip to make long hair more easy to have(good for awkward phase too);
In the morning, wet your hair slightly, use a wet brush to slick it back and then put on a headband(lightly, after pulling it back, pull the headband forward slightly)

A monthly trim would gave gotten rid of all those split ends ruining your head
What haircut did you end up getting?
I've had long hair most of my life. For me it's like... it's as much of a hassle as I make it, tbh. If I want it easy, then all I need to do is wash, condition, brush and go. Hair bands are a blessing for easy long hair maintenance too. Products are very optional. Long hair can look great without any styling what so ever, which short hair rarely can (unless we're talking buzzcut or shorter.) I can also make it hard for myself, by adding tons of products, hair dryer, irons, braiding, etc, to create specific styles. I've wavy/curly hair too, maybe a 3B, so my "easy maintenance" days means just rocking a giant poof. Embracing all that frizz, basically. That takes no effort, really. While my "high maintenance" days means defining my curls plus trying to get some volume, which takes hours.
Having long hair, in and of itself, is not any more difficult than having short hair. It really depends on how complex of a style you want to have. And sure, you have to use more shampoo and conditioner per wash, but you also don't have to wash long hair as often, generally. When I've had short hair, I needed to wash it basically every other day, but with long hair I can go a week between washes. So in total I don't actualy use more product.
I hate to say it, but you kinda chose to make long hair a struggle. I've known lots of men and women who just wear their long hair as is, without a lengthy hair routine, or constantly needing to fix it throughout the day.
The longer my hair gets, the easier it is to manage. I can get away with brushing it once a week and washing it once a month. The most effort I put into it is braiding it at night to keep it from getting really bad tangles.
@@JustCallMeEmily Yeah, I think there are lots of arguments for how long hair is (or can be) easier to manage than short hair. I don't even braid mine at night. I just tie it up into a loose bun, or just stuff it into a silk scarf I tie around my head. If I had a bonnet, that would be an even easier way to protect my hair at night.
Yea the layers he had in his wolf cut made it hard to put it up. I don't find it that much of a hassle because I know I can put it up in a bun or claw clip or braid it.
I think there may be some mistakes he made with his hair routine, like the constant brushing and he seems to wash his hair a lot. If he has curly hair as he says brushing would be counterproductive.
@@ryptoll4801yeah you are right as a guy with long hair and bit wavy hair 〰, I can assure you that longhair is way more less maintenance than short hair, men need to go barber every 2 3 weeks if they have to maintain their specific style, I go to hair stylist once every 4 or 5 months 😁, that's a win win situation and yeah the more you get involve in hair product and hair style it's like a rabbit whole which will suck you deep inside, I think same happened with the bro he is so much obsessed with hair and haircut and his haircut is high maintenance hair cut, if gets long layered hair cut you can have multiple styles with it.
I JUST BOUGHT CONDITIONER BECAUSE OF YOUR HAIR TUTORIAL GAH
Fixing your hair constantly is so true especially for wavy hairs when not tied up.
When i had long hair I just open my camera app every 5 minutes to fix it.
same here ever few minutes id open my camera to check it was a really bad habit
Long hair on men (if it’s taken care of) looks gorgeous and majestic on men and I love it
Yeah but still some dumbass people call you a woman 😐😕🙄
Which happens almost with all men with long hair 😕
ABSOLUTELY
Hmm
I agree as a man with no hair thanks to bad genetics I wish I could have long hair other than in my dreams.
As someone with thick, porous and with a lot of volume, I’m jealous of your and those who can pull a hairstyle like this 🤧

I had a client who cut her long hair and saved it in a pony tail and had that attached to the back of a baseball cap so when she wore that cap it looked like she still had her long hair.
worst part about having long hair for me is easily vacuuming up a small countries worth of hair from my floor every week. i shed like crazy.
Wear hair in ponytail at home and remove carpet and go for hardwood
finally growing out my hair again (I'm a white woman with 1a or 1b hair, so essentially straight with minimal wave and natural blonde so it's kind of fine and easy to damage) and ive actually been genuinely enjoying my hair health journey and grow-out process so far. i had black box-dyed short hair for a while and the bleaching process to remove that and return to my natural blonde was brutal on my hair (i.e. fried off most of my ends, even with salon expertise) so i've been trying literally everything imaginable to help my hair return to a healthy state and to essentially be kind to my scalp and lengths. so far, treating my hair routine essentially like long, calming meditation sessions has helped my hair (and my mental health tbh) immensely. taking care of my hair is a mindful thing that i enjoy doing now, and i think a key part of haircare (if you enjoy doing so, of course) for me is to let it be a calming, unwinding start and end to my day. I only have wash day once per week, but every morning and night I oil my ends with a jasmine and flaxseed oil mix and comb it through (as I love the smell and have a pavlovian calm response to jasmine now). it's proved super peace-inducing for me and the moments of calm i get doing my hair are actually very important and beneficial to me now. long hair, while i want to get there eventually, has ceased being my sole purpose for haircare and now I just genuinely love being kind to my hair and taking the time to understand it/care for it. if anyone else is growing their hair or wants their hair to be healthy again, i hope this helps!! :) it's a journey fr but an enjoyable one (for me at least)
i didn't know L was a lesbian. You learn something new every day i guess
I was a dude who had long hair that fell around my back and my shoulders. Grew it from 2017 and cut it off in 2021 as I wanted to pursue doing shorter styles. You might experience withdrawals. Then in 2022 to the present I've been trying to grow back 4 years worth of her.
How’s it now?
Started growing my hair in October 2022. I'm 50+ and still have thick hair. It must be the genes - I have the hair thickness of a 30 year old. Always had my hair short - feared I was going to go bald by 40 years old. Never happened and started to grow in 2022. No maintenance - no special products - no hot air dry - just wash and dry. I do use an oil product - but overall I get compliments for my natural healthy looking hair. My hair is really wavy and thick. And I only comb it once - in the morning only. Rest of the day I just use the finger comb. I have to post a video one of these days.
To me, going to the barber every 15 days is much higher maintenance than going once every few months. The most annoying part of long hair is drying ughhhh
real, if i airdry it i cant wear headphones and if i blowdry it, itll look like shit
this is so real, even worse having a fringe like it looks great when I'm done styling but then I leave the house and the wind absolutely ruins me. So so tempted to buzz it all.
This video making me giggle so bad this is the most optimistic sounding ive ever seen you
watching this made me realize how little i actually care for my hair. my hair is about the same length as yours, just a lot of it, curly as hell, and very thick. i mostly only wash my hair with shampoo once a week, never brush it, and only use shampoo and conditioner. somehow it comes out looking nice anyways, but imagine how it would look if i took proper care of it. i probably wont because too lazy but imagine
Seriously, I don't get it, how do some people end up thinking they need to do all of this nonsense? It's hair. It's fine.
I have locs and yeah I’ve trimmed them before, but there’s something about the journey with love that I can’t get over. It’s kinda hard to explain if you don’t have locs or don’t have black hair that you’ve grown out, but iykyk.
I feel you. Have locs now but I’m cutting the sides and maybe back because into active and the sweat buildup is gettin annoying
Also I find it is less maintenance then having long straight hair , that’s not locked
great vid! I also was getting tired of shoulder length hair. I found out I had enough length to donate it to a cause so I did that and have loved the freedom since then. Its been a few months but I am excited to see the growth cycle continue
Dude, I'm keeping my long, dark brown curly locks. But then I'm 56, and such a rarity haha!
Hell yeah keep your hair game up :D
I'm half asian and have straight dark hair. When the pandemic started I decided to grow my hair out after getting buzz cuts for a long time. 2 years of growing I hated it in the end. The hair falls out all over my desk and bed and getting out of the shower and being in a hurry is annoying. Luckily I'm almost 30 years old and not balding.
Having longer hair made me get used to taking care of myself and be more hygienic. Its a win win
I undestand you dont want to have long hair, but I am so in love with your long hair! if I had your hair I would stay with the longer one but you look happy with the shorter one so im happy for you :D
cutting my long hair is my biggest regret. short hair is way more high maintenance with my hair type because it looks goofy no matter how i get it cut. too much volume, i feel like a clown. even if i use thinning shears. i need the extra weight of long hair. i also hate layers in long hair, it takes too much styling and its too trendy and farrah fawcett looking. adds way too much volume too. i prefer the sleek long hair without layers
short hair needs more maintenance cuts because it takes a shorter amount of time for your haircut to grow out too much, and short hair frizzes and gets damaged easier because you cant just braid it at night to protect it. long hair also has more styling options to pull it back whereas short hair always eventually gets in the way and you cant just tie it up.
with long hair i can just wake up, undo the braid, run a comb through it and im set for the day. with short hair i need to style it every single day and it really sucks
Bro I cut my hair YESTERDAY (2 year of growing, shoulders --> ears) and TODAY you say that you're doing it TOO. Like wtffff, I did it first!! Btw love you and your channel, f u
As a long hair guy myself I find it easy to have a blunt straight across haircut for my ends and be at extreme ease taking care of it. It allows me to braid, bun and put it up effortlesly without going insane or putting products... Heck it I dont even use conditioner and hair its just ok. Of course this works for me, face shape and hair type, fine and straight for the most part. I think layers look amazing only if u commit to style it, which does make things a lot more complicated on regular basis. Otherwise long hair can be pretty minimal even frugal.
Seriously, I don't get what this dude is on about. Doesn't need to be hard at all.
ive been trying in vain to grow out my hair since I was a kid but mine just aint made for that lol. Finally realized the short hair looks better anyways (and good hair products last way longer). Healthy and short > Long and a mess
BRO I WANT THAT HAIR SO BAD, I lose 35kg this year and wanting to change my look so bad, i started lifting and building 'some' muscles, enuff to burn dem face fat.. now all I want to complete my final form is your exact hair, please sensei teach us how you grow that glorious God's gift of a hair of yours.
masculine urge to never cut your hair (im getting bald lol)
if brian eno could pull it off...
i've had long hair for the better part of a decade and i don't think ill cut it off any time soon but damn, the struggle is real
Can’t wait to suffer, been growing out my hair from a short bob to maybe mid back just to see what it’s like after 12 years of short hair just to see what it’s like
@@DelRae How's it going? I'm growing my hair out too after 3 years of short hair and plan to cut it again at the 2 year mark.
@@AlexLawSG I mean after like 6ish months of growing it out its reaching my lower nape now. so its still just relatively the same treatment with just a bit more tangling. Its got a bit of a wolf cut because I look bad when its not layered and I just have a lot of hair. But so far so good
@@DelRae I'm at the 6 month mark too! Keep on going! I sometimes just put on a headband to hold my hair back so it's not in my face. My hair is straight/2a wavy. I wish it was a bit more wavy thoo...
The shed is the realest part, even growing from an always shorter hair style to a medium long one the amount of hair you shed becomes so much more noticable. I remember getting slightly paranoid but eventually I just realized it was completely normal and hey, I'm not bald yet
I had long hair, then cut it off any 90%of my friends said long har was better. The only downside is the maintenance and downright hastle it is sometimes.
I had really long thick hair and recently cut it for a longer shag w bangs and am v happy I was able to cut it myself to what I want. I knew a barber would mess me up
I had my hair grown out to almost my ass crack. Truly the worst. Once it gets past the shoulders, shit gets rough. Buzzed it all off last week and not only am I more comfortable, I actually look better
thats for me to decide !
SEND BEFORE and AFTER pics right now !
lmfao what@@安心でチュウ
same here, but rocked a fade. cutting all of it off in the dead of june (last year) was so freeing
my hair somehow gets better after not doing everything you just told to do
IS THAT YOU IN THE THUMBNAIL!?
No way thats him
nah bro it’s his uncle
@@jorgeo1492they look alike tho 😥
Yes.
obviously it’s him
This is so weird, i literally went through this process last month and ended up with a similar haircut to what you got. I've gotten multiple mom comments about it too. Pretty happy with it now though, it just needed time to marinate!!!
I knew that was a fake hair reveal! Really like the cut btw, so glad your channel is reaching more and more people everyday.
I have decently long curly hair and one of the greatest pains in life is seeing all the shed hairs in the shower. it's thin and curly so instead of falling on the floor or staying on my pillow it's locked in there so every time I shower I feel like I'm balding. Still won't cut it I look fabulous.
I feel you so much. Having a long hair is not easy. You need to be very patient and you also need to put extra care to maintain it.
I have decently long hair (goes down to my collarbone) and haven't experienced any of these negatives and still pull hella compliments
❤
Well it depends upon hair cut you have and hair type
We actually have very very similar hairtype, length, and hairstyle. I actually cut my own hair as well. Other than shampoo and conditioner about once a week, I also use argan oil and put that in my hair after washing it.
tbh all of the concerns u raised are really trivial i don't spend exorbitant amounts of money on conditioner and i switch my pillowcases + i have a skincare routine so this si meaningless coool vid tho
I think the worst thing about having medium-long hair is how much is moves in the wind (UK weather) and makes you look like an idiot esp with thinner flowier hair lol
facts tho my hair wld sometimes tangle in the wind too. well i mean my hair was just long. its medium long now and i find it a lot easier to handle
@@MISBHV9 I mean yall can just wear hats if it's too windy, even as a guy with short hair I still wear a hat because is too cold for my head 😂
i was so relieved when you didn't actually end up like the picture in the thumbnail 💀
Same haha
You didn’t talk about the cold wet hair touching your neck after a shower. It becomes a big problem when you can’t tie it or blow dry it
I've been struggling with the journey of having long hair for some time. This video definitely covered aspects that are truly challenging when it comes to maintaining long hair. It's really a love-hate situation. I identified with so many things you mentioned in this video
I have a long hair, similar length as you had and i dont really agree with a lot of things you said.
Sure long hair is annoying but you used no hair tie or clip or something else to hold them? No wonder you play with them so much, if they wont hold in wind its pointless.
The acne problem seems to stem directly from your hairstyle, you literally have hairs in your face.
I dont use any hair products to shape my hair, i dont like having greasy face and neck afterwards. Before mentioned clip is enough for me.
Conditioner also feels optional.
It can already be time consuming as it is, doing it your way would surely make me insane.
the built up to this video was crazy😭😭
fascination with long hair is the same as fascination with gym, some hate gym but go because they have to maintain good look eventually gets tired and giveup stop gym. same with hair, maintaining long hair is hard waste money oily face yada yada end up just cut short and look exactly like 99%. I see things differently, I love the feeling of gym working hard, jogging and shagness the high i get the strength i get the pain i get while doing it is liberating for me. same with hair, i love taking care of my hair, shopping for different hair products, scalp care shampoo etc and enjoy the experience of these products. Also the ability to style these long hair... trust me if u put effort into styling it, any short hair nerd PALE S in comparision to us. the volume the curls the smoothness of the hair when light shines on it, the smell of the hair etc its just something else. Same with maintaining a facial regime, when majority of men reaches 30s and look like crap because they dont bother. anyway the weak just gives up its the most natural thing to do and i like the fact that i can stand out among them
I agree with everything you said 💯
Long hair is awesome. I'm a guy and don't mind the maintenance. I have 2b type hair and usually take about 10 minutes in the bathroom during styling and product application. It's definitely time and money consuming, but I like it!
i had long hair for 3 years, and I really agree with you, I couldn't stand them anymore, so yesterday I cut them off, and now I feel free
I actually just cut my waist length hair to your haircut in the first few seconds of the video, still past my shoulders but it feels sooo much better and lighter now, tho I'm still occasionally jealous when I see other people with hair that was almost as long as mine was
bro is georgeous
You look great with long hair and medium length hair jealous. Gotta try to do better with my own hair care also should replace my pillow slips more often too lol. An updated hair care video with advice for shampooing and conditioner and what to look for in conditioner and shampoo depending on your hair type would be super cool great video man.
1:55 "this is how my hair looks naturally" bro stop flexing you've already gotten all of your compliments we're getting self conscious
This dude is literally squidward irl
I shaved my head last year because I thought it sucked, but now i'm growing it back it's just a superior hairstyle in my opinion
I sometimes have moments of wanting to cut it but I know that if I do I'll insanely regret it and hate myself.
I feel like dudes think if they cut their hair a bunch of bitches hiding behind the curtain are gonna pop out and start sucking you off cuz u got a cut and are now more “masculine “ but realistically all that’s gonna happen is you’re gonna wish u never cut it off
Was that a pic of Philip solo you used in the censored pic of flat hair examples @ 1:44 💀💀💀
god bless dreads, whenever my curly hair gets too long i just opt for dreads
I'm a guy. A few years back, I grew my hair to shoulder length. I was well aware of the level of maintenance required and the potential discomfort. I work in an auto repair shop, which gets very hot in the summer and very cold in the winter. In the winter it was okay. In the summer time, the discomfort became unbearable. As a result, I decided to switch to a flat top. A lot more comfortable.
this gave me another reason to keep growing my hair
man the acne part is so annoying, I have a middle part and my hair sort of goes over my eyebrows and the sides of my face and I have super bad acne there, so I want to have my hair covering that part of my face even more, its a never ending cycle
This video defines how much of a narcissistic society we live in.
Yes I’m in love with myself
?
As a black man with dreads I don’t have much maintenance and I love how long my dreads have gotten, for reference I’ve had a buzz cut for about my whole life only growing out my hair for the first time last summer and now it’s almost down to my shoulders.
My maintenance is a shampoo whenever my hair needs it and a retwist once every 2 to 3 months otherwise I just let it be and I look a lot better with long hair as well which is a big factor in me keeping it.
Truth . That’s why I love locs .. easier to maintain than other long hairstyles
bro you look like the one artistic tall kid in back of the class that literally never talks
jaw went slack mouth agape eyes like saucers the moment u said u were getting ur hair cut.... im grieving yall.......
I hate how my hair is both very dry and very greasy. When I shampoo its really wispy and dry, but when i dont shampoo for literally 2 days it its really weighty and lifeless. It feels physically damp with grease after day 2.
That might be because of the shampoo you use
Shampoo is supposed to hydrate your hair, get a different one and leave it in like 5 minutes. Then lock it in with conditioner, your hair will literally feel more alive
makes a point that long hair promotes acne development, proceeds to get a haircut with bangs against the forehead
jokes aside great video i have long hair as well and am very tempted to cut it all off
this video is a gem, very relatable in regards to the difficulty of playing with it all the time and it being horrible with the wind in the outside environment. still gonna grow it out tho 😗
i've grown mine for the past year and a half it's about the same length as yours. i haven't even done any maintenance, i don't even brush my hair lol. i've still gotten a lot of compliments on it tho. didn't even plan on growing it out this long at first. it just kinda happened and i love it. your hair before and after the cut look pretty good too.
Saw you with the black cape cutting your hair and immediately thought it looked like something you would wear (compliment)
"It still looks cool though" that's the best quote you said in that video lol
let my afro grow for 11 months during the pandemic and that made me realize that I don't want long hair...
Afro maintenance is something else. I also find I'm more susceptible to dandruff
the mullet look when tucked behind your ears looks really good
Your hair at 19:02 looks so clean you should definitely keep it like that, if the part annoys you use dry shampoo when its getting bad and keep hair oil away at all costs. Every few days wet them and then brush all the way to the left and blowdry for 1 minute then all the way to the right for a minute then down until mostly dry and it should start looking better in a couple weeks.
Me with long hair (reaching the end of my back) without using anything at all and having a normal hair: what are this guy is talking about?
I have been growing my hair out for almost a 1.5 year and i did it to cover my mature hairlime i had since idk maybe 16-17. I have solid density but a huge forehead and short hair just makes me look older, but long curly hair is a bitch to maintain and washing it everyday is just impossible because it would take me 1-2 h daily, so i just do it 2 times a week and hope the styling products keep it looking nice.
lol same my big ash forehead.
Yooo I’ve always loved my long hair. This video is great for beginners. Thanks for posting this!
my hair sheds the most after shampoo days which scares me a fuckton, listening to you talking about shedding was helpful
Looking better with long hair
Looking good, JQ. I would love a video with tips and tricks for short hair. As a fellow ex-long haired person, sometimes I find myself struggling to style it.
Congratulations on the 100k
As someone with long 2c hair my experience has been very different haha.
I brush once, maybe twice a day and don't use product. A big difference for me was switching to a wide tooth comb.
I wash & condition twice a week, use water otherwise. I do live in the country side, so I wonder if not having all the stuff in the NYC air affects it..
I'm a big believer that the body can take care of itself, and even my skincare is drastically reduced nowadays to a single wash & SPF moisturiser with much better results.
Obviously we're all different though, but just thought I'd weigh in. Ultimately you have to experiment and see if it works for you.
The shed though... That I and those around me agree with..
It was a good video, informative and well made. Cool that you're into aquariums also! What's your favourite plant? Mine is Vallisneria Spiralis.
I used to be into fashion also, nowadays I just wear my boots and jeans or cargos daily lol.
Having looked at your brand, what difference do you think people like Jacob Hetzer or even the Rough Simmons guys have made to starting a small scale fashion house? As I'm not too aware of people doing it beforehand, at least not online, but nowadays there seem to be quite a few & I imagine competition is tough.
This video has been so relatable!
Bro the gust of wind that always comes as soon as u step outside makes me wanna
btw this is why whenever i eat, i tie my hair up. been doing this for years, cant eat with hair on my face
It looks great!
I have been growing my hair out for almost two years, maintenance cuts and all. My hair looks (before the cut) like yours, but just shoulder length.
I've been so torn. I've been wanting to get a hair cut as well, but I'm worried it will take away from the personality!
Congrats on 100k! 🎉🥳
omfggg it looks so good jq, u look like u belong in a movie or something with that hair cut XP
