Anyone who tells me i would look better with short hair is trying to sabotage me and praying on my downfall

consequence is insane drip, never cut your hair

I been growing out my hair (Im a 4C man) and it’s actually so EXPENSIVE and the longer it gets it’s more TIME CONSUMING. makes me wanna SCREAMMMM

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

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

My hair is down to my ass and I love having long hair. Makes me feel like a fancy cave woman.

I think the biggest issue is that long hair is just too cool some people just can’t handle the swag of king hair

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

I've had long hair my whole life pretty much and the worst thing about long hair to me by far is a gust of wind destroying the style.

"gimme that 14th century peasant fade" is crazy

I feel you. I shaved off my wolf cut completely bald in 2020 and it was so liberating. Change is necessary sometimes

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.

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 🤧

Long hair on men (if it’s taken care of) looks gorgeous and majestic on men and I love it

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

It truly does suck, grew my hair trough covid and had them for 2 years without any maintenance cuts, damn how good i looked after i cut em.

I JUST BOUGHT CONDITIONER BECAUSE OF YOUR HAIR TUTORIAL GAH

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'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.

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)

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.

This video making me giggle so bad this is the most optimistic sounding ive ever seen you

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.

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.

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'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.

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 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

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 knew that was a fake hair reveal! Really like the cut btw, so glad your channel is reaching more and more people everyday.

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.

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 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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

Your hair looks good behind your ears. Btw, I took a lot of tips from your first hair video that were excellent. Thank you!

long hair is dope af. I love it and probably won’t cut it until I feel like I belong with the other short haired NPCs

Having longer hair made me get used to taking care of myself and be more hygienic. Its a win win

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

the mullet look when tucked behind your ears looks really good

I currently have long hair that was actually similar to yours but just a little shorter, but I've been thinking about getting it even shorter recently. This video just made me want to get it shorter even more cause I definitely relate to how it can be annoying. Love the vids

Saw you with the black cape cutting your hair and immediately thought it looked like something you would wear (compliment)

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!

Love the video! Hope we can see some styling ideas next 🙏 I have a similar length/cut but I’m able to have bangs luckily

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

masculine urge to never cut your hair (im getting bald lol)

I started growing my hair out during the pandie and getting to WFH. My friend is 6’2 and his hair is down to his bum. I enjoy being able to whip it around and use it for drag, but 99% of the time it’s in a bun for me lol I need to rethink my life choices 🤣 Your hair is lovely btw! 🖤🙌🏼

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.

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

Looks cool! I used to have hair down past my chest and it got split ends, knotted all the time, and was just a pain to deal with. Short hair is nice, but long hair looks dope.

my hair sheds the most after shampoo days which scares me a fuckton, listening to you talking about shedding was helpful

I got a cut some months ago, and this was pretty much my thought proccess for getting one already lmao. Cool stuff

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.

Congrats on 100k! 🎉🥳

Yooo I’ve always loved my long hair. This video is great for beginners. Thanks for posting this!

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 get the constant touching of fixing hair which i try not to bother with too much coz i live in one of the windiest cities in the world so the moment you step outside its over. ive been growing my hair out for 6 yrs and its been a fun learning curve esp. with getting hair stuck in EVERYTHING - car windows, door handles, around my neck, once even the microwave door..

this gave me another reason to keep growing my hair

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.

totally relatable but it a joy..thank you for sharing a guy with long hair too!

I got the same haircut you did and at first I really struggled styling it but if possible try and brush your bangs all the way down so they’re in your face as much as possible when they’re wet, that’s what works for me, my hair still wants to part usually but if I dry it like that it works much better

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

Dude, I'm keeping my long, dark brown curly locks. But then I'm 56, and such a rarity haha!

I also had a wolf cut but I cut my hair shorter, now it only reaches my eyebrows and I have a different hair style a little bit. It feels much better and I feel a lot more free. I have a similar haircut to you now!

I have decently long hair (goes down to my collarbone) and haven't experienced any of these negatives and still pull hella compliments

I think everyhing you said it's legit! I have kinda long hair since 2017 so I lived with these problems and consequences but I think half of it can be soved by putting it in a bun when you are at home like when you eating or in the day by day activities like cleaning. The acne problem you gotta change the pillowcase almost everyday and after walking up go clean the face. And for everyone that is letting the hair grow you got to transform the time with the hair maintenance into a habit. Like it's time consuming but if you face it like a burden it will feel even worst.

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

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 learned a lot from this video and I’m a hairstylist! Also that haircut looks amazing on you especially with it behind your ears. I love it I’m gonna try to learn how to do this haircut lol I’m inspired 😊

The shed is insane for me so annoying cleaning everything. I liked my buzzcut but I really love how my current cut with curtain bangs frames my face.

I've had long hair and kept it around shoulder length for around 7 years now. I've come really close to buzzing it recently but I'm still hesitant.

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

Crazy that u post this today I was looking into hair product n realizing I might not wanna grow my hair long 😭😭

Been growing out hair since about 2 months before the pandemic it’s so annoying I love it

I also have long hair as well. Been growing it out for a while. Key for me was figuring out a low maintenance routine for it.

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.

Great music taste at the start man. I can't agree more, I used to have super long hair. Wanted to grow it out to donate it for wigs for people with cancer. Probaby one of the worse choices I made, it was such a hassle to maintain. I have medium length hair now, and it's so much easier to deal with. Short hair is nice but it gets cold up north lol.

the built up to this video was crazy😭😭

thank you for this video. we love you!

I’ve been growing my hair out for 2 years & I can’t wait to cut it all off - just can’t yet bc I wanna grow it long enough to donate 🙃

IS THAT YOU IN THE THUMBNAIL!?

I have a flat hime haircut that I absolutely love. Barely maintain it. While I want to learn how to do better, I doubt I would have to put too much time into it really. I only shower once every 3 days, as that also affects the environment, along with not really needing it personally. Not sure what "Weighing down the hair" is about, although I do have straight light thin hair personally. I do have knots in straight hair, and I just brush once every other day really. Does curly hair knot in a way that's more intense or something than straight hair that you NEED to brush it asap? Regardless, just work out at the gym to handle heavier hair, right? I stopped noticing my hair, except rarely in my food. Doesn't bother me at all. Of course I do have to cut the long hair out of the vacuum cleaner, but don't forget the dust that is your dead skin cells. You are already cleaning "A part of yourself" off the floor. "Clog your drains" Have you ever heard of a tubshroom? Why use a drain snake when you can just place a metal tube with holes and a rubber gasket into the drain hole, so hair falls into it and catched onto the gasket, with all the holes allowing the water to drain through unimpeded? I mean, you just pull that tubshroom out when needed, get some toilet paper, and quickly yank and throw the hair into the trash. Easy peazy. And since you do it more often, it doesn't smell? (I never smelled it up close personally). I do reshape the front of my hair a bit when I notice it's off. That said, I'm not putting too much effort into it. I guess a benefit of flat hair is that wind isn't as BIG of an issue. There's not much of a shape to lose. My hair typically hides the acne anyways, so not a big problem. I do wear my outside clothes on my bed. That said, I am weird and sleep on the floor. I wonder if using differnet materials for your pillow case, such as an antibacterial/antimicrobial material like hemp or linen, might help out with hair and oils and acne and what not. Let me guess, is your pillow case polyester? Personally, I am a femboy, so maybe it's a different situation. It's required for me to feel like the person I believe I am to be.

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

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.

love the new haircut it looks nice !!!

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.

i have really frizzy dry thick dense asian hair and the only solution i've found is to japanese perm it straight. no other method i've gone for has made it look as nice as this even with dozens of oils, conditioners, mousses, curl creams etc. maybe one day i'll try again but the convenience is unmatched!

At first I was like "noooo" but hey it looks great honestly ! I might take your advices on how to take care of long hair since mine is long and has a tendency to curl so... ! :)

yo mr fashion man i would love a hair styling video tips much appreciated thank you my guy

Your new haircut look really good

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.

I just buzzed my head recently and i really love it like in not even balding but being bald is great
