Why you shouldn’t grow long hair. A guy’s perspective

So long and thanks for all the fish! This was meant to go on the second channel, but I liked it a lot and so it's here now. Brighton vlog will be on that channel next week tho

Thank you so much for watching! Hope you enjoyed it!

If you're new to my channel and videos, hi! I'm Evan Edinger, and I make weekly "comedy" videos every Sunday evening. As an American living in London I love noticing the funny differences between the cultures and one of my most popular video series is my British VS American one. I'm also known for making terrible puns so sorry in advance. Hope to see you around, and I'll see you next Sunday! :)

If you want to know HOW I make my videos including gear, lighting, all the tiddly bits that connect it all together, (with cheaper alternatives and kit I used to use), I've listed each item, what it's great at, and why I use it on the gear section of my website here:

Otherwise: here's a quick list of some of my kit without descriptions from the above link:

Camera: Sony A7siii

Main Lens: Sony 24mm f/1.4 G-Master

Secondary Lens: Sony 16-35mm f/2.8 G-Master

Main Light: Aputure 120d mkii

Shotgun Microphone: Sennheiser MKH-416

Really useful SSD: SanDisk Extreme Portable 2TB

As a hairdresser, it’s absolutely killing me how much your head is wobbling as you speak while he’s trying to chop at your hair 🤣

[Cris]

As a guy with long hair I can say that the fact that you donated your hair atoned for your sin of betrayal. You are forgiven.

[tesnirowlands]

Love the new hair Evan! As a wig maker who works for a charity that helps children with hair loss, I just wanted to thank you for donating your hair! Your donation really will change a child’s life 🥰

As a woman with short hair, I agree that long hair can be more of a hassle than it is worth. My husband and I gave each other buzz cuts during the lock downs and they were so freeing! I don't think I'll ever have long hair again.

PS- your blue eyes really POP with the shorter hair!

You know Heather's a keeper when she laughs at your puns.

This was a really good video. Good choice putting it on your main channel.

[kdholden]

I just wanted to tell you Evan that you look very smart with short hair. It looks grown up and attractive on you. Congrats on making that brave choice! It's hard to part with long hair

[sasto]

"Cycle paths!" lol! I thought you were talking about how safe the, "Psychopaths" in London were. loll! Hair looks great!

[mckennaaaaaaaaa]

I have hair that's grown past my hips and while I am used to it, I understand how you feel with it being a sensory nightmare. It's absolutely insane the amount of work it takes to manage it and I'm surprised you kept it as long as you did given your issues with it. I'm happy that you're taking this step to make this big decision for yourself 🙂

Congratulations on donating your har. It was a lovely that you did that. It put a smile on my face.

[montyollie]

I love it. I watched a lot of different YouTubers and you all grew your hair out past the point of shaggy around the same time. I shaved my head six years ago, and there is NO going back to long hair for me. I don't miss it at all. You look great, thanks for sharing the show with us.

It's important to feel comfortable in your own skin. I have the opposite experience to you with my long hair, I don't feel like I'm myself without it. I'm not me in the mirror if my hair is short. Unlike you, though, I have been turning white since my mid-20s, and I'm struggling to reconcile myself with the fact. I'm delighted that you're feeling better for the change of style 👍

[kerstinwallace]

Daily management - so much easier than long hair. But you will have to go to the barbers/hairdressers every 5-6 weeks to kerp it stylish when it's short.

[gemmascotland]

I think it's a beautiful thing you're doing, donating your hair to someone who needs it ❤❤

[LauraDora]

You seriously pull it off at all lengths; and I'd be lying if I said i wasn't a tad envious 😂
It was satisfying seeing all of the sections being chopped off though. There's someone out there who will love and appreciate your hair donation so much ❤

[traceyhill]

Well done on donating your hair. As someone who works in a hospice and chatting with people who benefit from wig wearing, natural wigs are fabulous. I too have long hair and as an older woman I am plucking up the courage to 'go short'

[sierralvx]

So good to see you're back!!! I didn't realize just how much your hair changed the silhouette of your face, but it really did and now you really look like you again!
Also that spray gun pun was the best you've ever pulled! 😂

[sonicsean]

The short hair looks so stylish on you.

The long hair just had so much weight it looked flat cos it all N dragged down. You look vibrant again

[Mewster]

I used to have long hair as a guy and got it chopped off in the last year, this could be a really interesting look at it from another perspective

[seijika]

When I had long hair (beyond shoulder length) I used to feel deeply unhappy when having to tie it back into a ponytail to get it out of the way, only for it to feel like my front hair was being torn out. After getting rid of it, it was so nice not to have the feeling of extra weight on my head (which I was unaware of until it was gone), not to mention no longer finding hair everywhere - like in food at home. I used to go to a great barber in Cheltenham who did a combined haircut, hot towel shave, ear/nose burning and scalp/shoulder massage with a choice of single malts - tragically did not survive the lockdown.

My hair was 3ft long in 2018 when I cut it all the way off and shaved my head to raise money for cancer research. Now I really can't imagine having it that long again 😅
