I grew my hair for 3 years and had it well below my shoulders. The last thing you said about long hair is somethign I really noticed - you stand out every where you go and it's "different". When I had long hair it seemed boring to be like everyone else with a short fade. I also donated my hair last year and went back to short hair for a while though I really miss the long hair. Currently a few months in to growing it out for a 2nd time.

I love having long hair! It's a little longer than shoulder length. I am definitely getting looks, both good and bad. But am learning to look confident with my long hair.

I was raised by a macho traditional father, long hair for men was a big no, so I got accustomed to the short hair life, but about 2 years ago, I felt called to let it grow. The first attempt, I gave up during an awkward stage. It's been a year and a half of letting mine grow from a comb over, and I love it, I didn't know I had wavy/curly hair, my only issue is that I am prone to scalp issues, so I need to wash it more, it can be uncomfortable to manage. It's been a very empowering journey though, and I plan to keep it long!

I love having long hair for a lot of the reasons you stated. But I do feel like it's a constant battle against my lifestyle. I'm typically in the gym 5 days a week strength training, and endurance cycling / mountain biking 3 days a week. Sprinkle in backpacking and camping around 30 nights per summer, and I sweat a LOT and end up needing to wash more frequently than I'd like. It feels like I get about one "good" day out of my hair between washes and just overall physical activity.

Short or long, you're still looking fresh 🔥

You can tell how healthy your hair actually is by seeing the way it stands and sits after the haircut. Brought you back 10 years. I just did the same, regret followed by grief lol I am hoping that the next 5 years will go slow but fast, having kids you want to freeze time but I hate the in between times during hair growth, it will be my 3rd run.

The only thing that's stopping me from cutting mine short is if I regret it, it'll take years to get back to where I'm at now after 5+ years of growing from a No2 guard 🤔 See what happens when the weather warms up. Pro for going short again for me will be to get my natural hair back as it's been bleached a few times and black dyed every 3 months for 18 months.

Crazy. I missed your cut video and just chopped off all mine the other day! Even got a very similar cut to yours as well lol. One things for sure, so far I do not miss the long locks AT. ALL.

I've grown my hair out 3 times in my life. I never regret going through the awkward phases. However, I ALWAYS regret cutting my hair. I shaved my head in October (to be Kratos for Halloween lol) and have been growing it back ever since.

Your videos have been a huge inspiration in my hair journey. The key reason I never liked short hair is I found my styles didn’t hold. But I never really had the medium style hair you mentioned in the video. My hair is now past the goal I originally set. And honestly, due to the pros you mentioned in this video, I’m probably going to keep it long for a good while. Thanks for making these videos Trav, they pushed me forward many times.

and still looking great with the new cut !

For me I wear my hair short mostly because of the maintenance it takes to have nice long hair

[CoolJZero]

I haven't been to the barber since the corona virus

to be fair... you could get an undercut with long hair (otherwise known as the skrillex cut) which eliminates not having to go to the salon very often because even if you don't have a complete "disconnected undercut" you still have to make it look neat since after some time it starts to look bad when not shaved off. But other than that, i have long hair and i love it and i also believe that it is better since there aren't that many men out there with long hair, than there are with short hair. Love your vids btw.

I remembered you way back 2019 when i first grow my hair out i always watching your vids and in the mid of 2023 i decided to cut it off and now im here again growing it for the 2nd time❤❤❤

My biggest pro for long hair is that it is teaching me how to care for long hair.
I was the brush cut guy most of my young life, so I didn't even know what different hair brushes were for as I didn't brush my hair.
Learning that people went multiple days without washing their hair was also a shocker.
I still haven't figured out hair additives between washes, but I will get there.

I have slight wavy hair and I can comb my hair when dry without it becoming frizzy. Also except for frequency I shower the same way and continue to only use shampoo

[jacobstewart]

I've definitely grown tired of how I look with long hair. But after getting out of the military, I don't want short hair again. At this point, I'm only keeping it till it gets long enough to donate. But my hair is very curly and wavy. So it looks like a fro, I'm white. I have to see a stylist and talk to her about this whole process.

Will you make a video about your first clean up cut?

Longer hair is heavy and the hair can shed more. Or it sheds but appears like more hair falls due to it being longer.
