As a woman wearing my hair buzzed at 8mm, I experience exactly the same when it comes to people giving their opinion about it all the time. I´m either caring too much about being stylish and looking special or not caring at all because I don´t want to deal with long hair which is funny because I used to have very long hair down to my hips fore more than 10 years and just wanted to donate it. Why can´t everybody just wear their hair the way they want to? I don´t get it.
WORD! The people, who really are too busy caring about appearances are the ones, who constantly comment on the hair styles of other people. What's their problem? They just literaly have to turn themselves around about 90 degrees and their life is as beautiful as it was before they saw someones disruptive hair choice. Seems like, we both don't get it and probably never will.
I’m a guy with long hair I fully support women with short hair but I don’t really want to date a woman with short hair it’s just my preference but hey maybe someday a woman will change my preference
You can... but buzzed hair for women is just bad. Hell, not many men can pull it off either. There comes a point where you are just lying to yourself about whether it looks good or not. 99% of the time having some form of hair style of at least an inch will always look better. Even a pixie cut looks better on women than being almost or nearly bald. When the 90 percentile of humans share the subjective opinion that women look better with longer hair, there is some sort of objective reason for it somewhere. Whether a man looks good in long hair or not depends entirely on their appearance as a whole and mostly the quality of their hair. But with care can be pulled off. Being bald almost requires having a well groomed beard and fairly big muscles to pull off for men. Perhaps its because it tends to look sickly and so you need to exaggerate the health of your body in other places to balance it out. Women tend to not have that option unless they take hormone therapy / trt or roids.
That literally happened to my friend when his hair was only MEDIUM length until he spoke and revealed his guy voice. Maybe it’s because it was reaching his shirt in the back and about 5.25” and still about 8.25” in the front.
Used to happen to me all the time when I was younger (pre-puberty). It depends a lot on the body structure as well. If you have a wider back people seem to not make that mistake.
A lesbian came up behind me recently thinking I was a female. They got excited and told me after they found out I was guy. Btw, I’m 6’5. First time this has happen to me because time I’ve grown my hair out
Ya'll can take some tips from us women who have long experiences with the upkeep of long hair; 30 mins before shower, wet your hair a little bit and apply the conditioner like a hair mask ... Let it sit for 20-30- mins and then wash. In that way, you don't have to wait too long in the shower for the conditioner to work. Plus i find that the conditioner sits better on semi dry hair; in the shower, it tends to run on wet hair and half the amount of your product goes down the drain. Instead of water, you can also apply some oil and then the conditioner (The oil can be applied up to 2-3 hours before). AVOID conditioner on the roots because it will turn your hair greasy faster and pile lots of chemicals on your scalp, causing lots of hair fall down the road.
After 35 years with short hair (required in my profession)... now I’m retired I’m letting my beard and hair grow out for the first time in my life. I’m 6 months in and going NUTS... my wife loves it but DAMN!!
La Rochejaquelein it’s through mom’s side because only the X chromosome carries the genetic marker for hair loss. Dad gives you either x or y and in this case he gave you y. So look at your mom’s side.
I get a lot of comments of me wanting to re-live my hippie days. Or, "When are you going to grow up?" (answer : NEVER!) When I was a kid in the 50's and 60's my parents made me get a buzz cut. This was the trend for young boys at that time but I HATED it! When long hair became popular for guys starting in the late 60's, I felt liberated! Although employers rarely agreed. Now at 70, an important reason I grow my hair long is BECAUSE I CAN!!!. Many guys my age no longer have hair to grow.
My son is 18 and has grown his hair out for the past 2 years ( it’s to his shoulder blades) to donate to a wigs for kids charity- I love it on him and hope he always keeps it longer. Personally, I have long hair and agree with most of these reasons to hate long hair! But have to add- getting it caught in the seatbelt or trapped under my husbands arm when we’re sleeping and I roll over...ow! and with the wind- wearing lipgloss or even chapstick makes it even worse. And my personal hatred is the hair wookiees that get left in the shower! You both look great and you can still go to the barber shop for a shampoo, deep conditioning treatment, scalp massage, and trim to keep your locks lush!
Haha love it. I had long hair in my teens and I decided to cut it short because of the wind and I didn’t know what I was doing with it. I was very unaware of my identity when I was younger. But now at age 26 I’m looking to grow it all again and the wind you guys mentioned made me laugh hard as hell. Just brought me back to when I was younger haha. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
In today's society long hair on a guy is unique I'm in the process of growing mine long I've had it long before and women would compliment it so much when I have short hair that hardly notice me
You know MOST women prefer short hair (that's why it's so popular amongst men). Also no women is gonna randomly compliment you for having short hair the same way I wouldn't randomly go up to a woman and compliment her hair. Women may be complimenting you because they love that another man has better, longer and more lucious hair than her even if they may not find it attractive. They wanna know what products you use in your hair. That's like if I see a really muscular woman at the gym, I will compliment her for her hard work and ask her for her workout routine even though I really dont find muscles attractive on women. Even when I had long hair, i would have women come up to me and ask what products i use in my hair etc. However literally everyone finds me to be much better looking with short hair. Most men say they became more attractive after cutting there hair.
I love and enjoy this whole video really! I am in 12,5 month mark of growing my wavy/curyl hair, so I think I am relate to! Greg and Trav has nice look and appearance, thank you for sharing us this.
Okay, no. Wind is fun, and is much more fun when I have long hair. You seem to be under the impression you have control over your hair - for me that has always only been an illusion. My hair does its own thing. And if its will and my wishes collide, it'll get braided. Which happens often, I admit. But still, wind is one of the fun perks of long hair.
There is still a lot of discrimination towards long haired men. The trends defined by the fashion industry can become a dictatorship and I think it's important to bring this subject up more often to educate people and help shape the trades and the industry into being more accepting and socially sustainable. I had long hair for about 10 years from the early 90's - to early 2000's and the amount of discrimination and preconceived ideas I had to deal with where unbelievable. I am a portrait and fashion photographer and decided to start a photography project dedicated to long haired men called #LongIsBeautifulProject precisely to fight negative stigma against long haired guys and to help bring back long hair into the fashion trends. I think it's important that photographers, magazine editors, TV and Cinema directors, modeling / talent agencies, etc - are aware of this issue and try to shape these industries into being more sensitive and acknowledge the fact that their decisions can affect a lot of people's lives. Long haired guys should appear more in the media and I think that what you guys are doing is awesome and very positive.
I just wanted to say too any guys considering growing out their hair, i’ve had long hair for nearly three years, and in that time i’ve only had five unpleasant comments about it. Outside of my pals taking the piss. So don’t be worried about others opinions
Lol I live in a small town people make fun of me constantly but they are never my age always way older I seriously don’t understand it why is my generation so much more accepting than the older ones( also it’s never people I know it’s always just random people)
The wind is so much worse with long and curly hair, the frizz is unreal. I used to have longer than shoulder length hair and I definitely agree with these haha.
I see some guys with long hair that’s thinning and it just doesn’t look good. However, if you can grow a nice head of hair and keep it well groomed like these two men then great.
Thomas Reed Agreed. If you don’t have a full head of hair it’s no go. It looks like absolute shit, will make the loss more apparent, and can easily speed up the process.
As I’m growing my hair back out the #1 reason for me is getting it caught in my glasses. There are probably a few shorter hairs in the front from being broken by my glasses. So frustrating.
Had long hair for years. When I grew the huge beard I went short with my hair and EVERYONE loved it. I got so many compliments and I absolutely dont miss the hair but still rockin' the beard.
I agree. I have long hair and a full beard and from my experience women hate it. I got way more attention from women when I I shorter hair and a full beard. I will be cutting my hair soon.
Problem I'm having is that I have very fine hair and a crazy calic in the front that makes my hair do crazy stuff. I'm probably only around 7 to 8 inches of length right now and I can't really do much with my hair. Have to let it fall where it wants to.
These are all true! I have been growing my hair over the past year and a half. Its shocking how people will just walk up and tell me to cut my hair! I'm not one that likes attention or standing out. That is one reason I let my hair go. I always wore my hair very short. I have psoriatic arthritis and the psoriasis in my head is bad in spots and was visible for a week or two after a haircut. So I decided to grow it out longer and people started with sometimes rude comments and the usual when are you going to cut your hair. One guy who happens to be my homosexual brother in law who I have been very supporting of in a culture that sometimes doesn't had the nerve to ask me why I decided to change my look to dirty hippie! (My wife who is the only one that I care what thinks assures me I don't look like a dirty hippie.) I've also been hit with the line MEN should have short hair!
I had long hair for 4 years. I gave up on long hair about 4 months ago. Too much time in the shower due to the process of maintaining my hair. Even after all the maintenance, my hair hair wasn’t looking as good as I wanted it to. So I went for a buzz... and now I’m growing it out into something new. Yes, long hair may take a lot of work to keep healthy, but I did like my long hair. Every long-haired man, however, has a breaking point.
I used 2 have long hair and I hated having 2 tie my hair up in pony tail when going 2 formal events n during winter months cause I liked letting my hair down combed n styled back
I’m about 2 months overdue for a haircut and now all salons and barbershops are closed in my area.... I may be seeing what long hair is all about before things go back to some normalcy...probably will just let the beard grow out longer as well 😁
I must be one of those i dont care guys. Actualy in my line of work long hair actualy gives me an edge. Most of my colleagues look straight up military which automaticly makes the look inaccessable and pompas and agressive where as im accepted by locals and look more accesable. I actualy find i dont realy care being called a hippy and shit i do have an issue being looked at with fear. Im a medic.
Yes! Long hair on men IS polarizing! Lol I am a male with very long hair...and you best believe that random strangers will give you their opinion on your hair! Lol I find that people either really, really love long hair...or really, really hate long hair. There is no in-between. People are never indifferent to my long hair. They either tell me: "Wow, you look so cool. Don't ever cut your hair" or "Dude, gross. You look like a girl. Cut your hair" lol You definitely need to be a self-assured male with long hair and not give a crap about anyone else's opinion!
I know yall complain about the wind but, when the wind catches your hair just right and it's clean and super glossy that day and flowing like waves of silk behind you you get noticed.
Yeah, wind is a pain. The top on my Jeep is down so I have to do something about the hair before I get in the Jeep. Otherwise I can't see the road for the hair.
Bucket list, crossed it off at 40, day after cut it all off, donating to Locks of Love. Expected one of the 5 things was knots or getting caught in your short to medium beard.
The hardest thing for me when I had long hair was those times when I actually did consider getting it cut short. I'd have a back and forth battle in my head as to whether I should get it cut or not for about a week, then keep my hair for a few months before considering it again.
Interesting thoughts. Never had those problems myself. I guess after having long hair for 15 years or so, I don't notice any "problems." Plus, Mykonos can be a humid, windy place. Growing up there teaches you a thing or two about handling long hair, haha.
I've had long hair for 15 plus years, never spent a fortune on products use an anti dandruff shampoo and a coconut conditioner. To be honest though I wear it up a lot!
Sir, my name is ashutosh im from India an im 17 years old I've watched your videos it motivated me to grow out my hair .when that awakard stage comes I've always watch your video your video really helps me a lot.
I have long hair and my number one reason to hate it is how it gets in my mouth whenever I eat because I forgot to put it up on a bun or ponytail. It's genuinely the reason that makes me think I should just cut it already
I'm starting to grow long hair and people aren't liking it because it's looking too scruffy and messy, because I can't to anything with it. People are calling me homeless too because i also have a full beard. And people saying stop trying to look like a rock star....because I also listen to music that i don't like which is heavy rock and metal.
I'm just starting to experience some of these issues. Had a short cut (#2 around sides/back, ~1" on top) and just let it grow. Currently 14 months in and sort of wish I could hit the barber now with all this downtime to even it out. The hair on back of head is sitting about 3-4" further than the front so while it makes my hair look longer in general, it also looks a bit unkept. The worst part is the front/front-sides are just shy of good length to all be in a ponytail or bun so I have these goofy bangs that dangle when trying. Mostly means hair is worn down, wind messes with it big time. Happy overall though, hair's about 8" and starting to garner comments (mostly good, a few "hippie" comments starting to come out).
Exactly the point I'm at now. I had a short hair cut, though a bit longer than yours, and it's been about 12 months since my last cut, save for a couple of weeks ago when I got the wispy bits around my ears and base of the head where the hair doesn't grow any longer. I need about another inch or so of growth on the front before it'll stay when pulled back into a ponytail. I'm enjoying it though. It's the longest my hair's been all over ever - I used to have long hair 6 years ago but it was an undercut. Think I'll re-evaluate once I get to another couple of inches of growth and see how I feel! Keep going mate!
After shampooing skip the conditioner in the shower and go for a small amount of hair masque instead. Then when you get out of the shower use a leave-in conditioner and comb it through. Either blow dry it or let it self dry. That I only do if I don’t have to go out for a couple of hours. That’s the only three hair products I use, shampoo, hair masque and leave-in conditioner. Sometimes I might use a an oil on the ends or a leave-in spray for further conditioning. No hairspray or other crap doing damage on my hair. To be honest I have way more beard products than stuff for my hair.
I'm trying to grow hair long. And yes I'm noticing it's taking alot of longer to wash and dry my hair. So my shower time does take longer and then I having to brush the odd knot out
Always when people ask me about why do i have long hair or why i shouldn't cut my hair i simply answer : why you do have short hair or why you don't grow your hair lol , and they never ask about my hair again xD i just don't know why people consider short hair as reference
One of the reasons I hate long hair is when you decide to grow your hair long, the transition phase from short to long hair takes soooooo long. For a beard, no big deal, but the head hair is a real struggle getting through that phase.
LOL. WIND !!! I have considered MOVING to a less windy city because of this! .. Once i was jumping rocks at the beach.. the wind came along, I couldn't see, missed the next rock, and crash landed, hurt my leg and hip, but bruised my ego even more! Now there's a hairtie on my wrist at all times.
Talk about a preconceived notion-- do you think people from Appalachia aren’t cool enough for long hair? I’m disappointed you said that because I love watching you.
Love this, I get harped on by most men I see around me, called hippy and such. My mom almost every time I see her it's the first thing she says, "cut your hair" lol. Good stuff!! New to your channel and loving it
Yo it’s Greg and Trav!!! Greg introduces me to Trav in one of his videos where he explains where he gets style tips. Been following Trav ever since. Great collab! I’m 10 months in of my hair growth. Hopefully my hair will look as good as both of theirs.🤩🤩 And I do agree Long hair sucks at times but it’s totally worth it.
I'm at the 5.5 year mark presently, the things I haven't liked about having long hair is the maintenance, the migraines, and how it winds up getting in the way when I go to work on pretty much anything. Not to mention the knots when I would ride my motorcycle(even when it was tied up with half a dozen hair ties or braided)... those knots were MURDER! At this point, I figure I'm gonna settle on a longer viking style undercut that I can maintain at home. That way I'll still have some length to be able to style(and for the wife to play with), but have a more put-together appearance, as well as be more practical in my day to day life.
I have had long hair for 38 years, I do not even notice most of the things you guys are hating. Granted I tie mine back in bed or on windy days, I also occasionally use a gaiter as a "dew rag". But everything else is insignificant annoyance to me. I however never wear a "man bun". I sink time into bear care why not my hair as well.
The only thing I hate about my long hair is I have to put it up every time I ride my motorcycles (No Helmet laws here), otherwise I have to spend 15-20 mins after the ride just brushing out all the knots
I strongly disagree with reason number 5 because I think with short hair you have far fewer options. It is cut into a style and that's how you wear it, day in and day out. Very few barbers/stylists are talented enough to cut hair that can be worn in different ways. With long hair I feel I have a lot more choice beyond wear down or wear up. For example, I can bring out the natural wave for that wild, rock star look or I can blow dry/flat-iron for a smoother more professional look. Best of all, my hair looks as good in the morning as it did when I went to bed. My short back and sides used to stick up all over the place and the best part of my morning ritual was getting it to look presentable. I agree about wind though!
Back during my long-haired days, I actually found the wind in my hair to be one of the coolest and most pleasant aspects. To each their own, I suppose :). Now, don't get me started on rain or humidity in general... That was a major annoyance.
None of these are modern looks so if you’re in a younger generation growing your hair out n you wear one of these n get flamed for it don’t be surprised. That also shouldn’t stop you from doing what you want with your hair tho cuz no one can tell you what to especially with something as intimate as your connection to your hair.
In answer to reason 1 : I have long hair and have done for a long time for maintenance on my hair all I use is anti-dandruff caffeine shampoo and conditioner, its a store brand in the UK. I've never had split from what I can remember. No product ever and I get complements on my hair, several women have said they like my hair.
My hair is super long (mid thigh), I just always have a couple clips with me. I like it down, but I need to tie it up in the wind, car, using the bathrooom, cooking....
I tend to use less products, in the past with an undercut each day I would use paste to style it. Now I just use more shampoo and conditioner. The wind is a big factor on the Sailboat, oh boy what a mess. The other issue is heat, much hotter with all that hair. When my hair was short (since apparently my facial looks hasn’t changed in many years) seeing people from high school they would recognize instantly, now with long hair 2 years later they walk right by me 😂. The transition from short to long was the hardest part, in a corporate environment you cant wear a cap during the awkward phase .
I have long hair and beard. I never wear it down. It’s almost pointless to have. I rather hide my hair in normal day to day activities. No one wants to see a dude fussing over his hair. One point of suggestion is quit messing with it like a girl. Let it do what it wants.
wulfgar3000 because no reason to go to barber or stylus except maybe every 3-4 months ,even then it’s not mandatory. Why have short hair ? I’ve had both. Why have a beard .. ? I think the main reason is... laziness! And hate the feel of razors I can say my reason
Both my grandmothers are part American Indian, and one is part south asian indian, long hair is apart of my Heritage and culture. 🌹 Just wear a man bun to sleep, and on Windy days . When you sleep use some type of satin covering so your hair doesn't dry out, and break off. Men out there,🤴 unless you're in the military, or have some type of job that requires your hair to be short, 💛 stay true to yourself and wear your hair the way you want.
Finally someone is tackling the stuff we need to sit down and exchange ideas. I first thought this was dad & son. Made me realize that my dad never talked to me about his hair on day one after a shampoo. What kind of man was he?! He wasted all of his time teaching me nonsense like priorities and virtue.
I guess I'm just lucky. I hardly if ever have a single person say something negative to me about my hair. Have had long hair for years and years. Now I will say that any time I've cut if all off I've had lots of comments about it both positive and negative, but never had someone have the gall to say to my face anything about my long hair. Showers do suck though because its inevitable that even if I'm not washing its gonna get wet and take forever to air dry. And I use cheap shampoo and conditioner. Making sure to use the best for my hair type still but I dont splurge. As for getting caught in stuff yeah it happens sometimes. But I wear a sloppy top bun for bedtime and its usually up or tied back when working. And wind loves my wavy/curly mane. Just pumps up the volume.
I can understand the problem with wind but it’s a whole nother level when you have receding hair. Because it’s necessary to style the hair in a way that covers the problem areas. You think you look good and then outside all your effort just goes away after a few seconds. It’s really frustrating !
Actually Point #5 for me is a advantage. Don't like sitting around in the hair salon, waiting until it's my turn, letting someone snip around on my head, making efforts to have some polite conversations with the hairdresser... meeh. But I have another point to replace it: Frizz in the neck during winter! Thick clothes or scarfs are sitting so tight, so that they rub on the bottom hair all day long. At the end of the day, there's just one big hair ball in my neck and the attempt to coam through that area is... pure HELL!
i love seeing jesus and zeus in the same video. ultimate crossover

I'm at that annoying stage where I can't tie my hair up yet, but it's long enough to get all over my face, especially at work

Okay, no. Wind is fun, and is much more fun when I have long hair. You seem to be under the impression you have control over your hair - for me that has always only been an illusion. My hair does its own thing. And if its will and my wishes collide, it'll get braided. Which happens often, I admit. But still, wind is one of the fun perks of long hair.
There is still a lot of discrimination towards long haired men. The trends defined by the fashion industry can become a dictatorship and I think it's important to bring this subject up more often to educate people and help shape the trades and the industry into being more accepting and socially sustainable. I had long hair for about 10 years from the early 90's - to early 2000's and the amount of discrimination and preconceived ideas I had to deal with where unbelievable. I am a portrait and fashion photographer and decided to start a photography project dedicated to long haired men called #LongIsBeautifulProject precisely to fight negative stigma against long haired guys and to help bring back long hair into the fashion trends. I think it's important that photographers, magazine editors, TV and Cinema directors, modeling / talent agencies, etc - are aware of this issue and try to shape these industries into being more sensitive and acknowledge the fact that their decisions can affect a lot of people's lives. Long haired guys should appear more in the media and I think that what you guys are doing is awesome and very positive.
I just wanted to say too any guys considering growing out their hair, i’ve had long hair for nearly three years, and in that time i’ve only had five unpleasant comments about it. Outside of my pals taking the piss. So don’t be worried about others opinions
*to
Lol I live in a small town people make fun of me constantly but they are never my age always way older I seriously don’t understand it why is my generation so much more accepting than the older ones( also it’s never people I know it’s always just random people)
The wind is so much worse with long and curly hair, the frizz is unreal. I used to have longer than shoulder length hair and I definitely agree with these haha.

I see some guys with long hair that’s thinning and it just doesn’t look good. However, if you can grow a nice head of hair and keep it well groomed like these two men then great.
Thomas Reed Agreed. If you don’t have a full head of hair it’s no go. It looks like absolute shit, will make the loss more apparent, and can easily speed up the process.
As I’m growing my hair back out the #1 reason for me is getting it caught in my glasses. There are probably a few shorter hairs in the front from being broken by my glasses. So frustrating.
Had long hair for years. When I grew the huge beard I went short with my hair and EVERYONE loved it. I got so many compliments and I absolutely dont miss the hair but still rockin' the beard.
Do both. Looked Badass on Jesus.
I agree. I have long hair and a full beard and from my experience women hate it. I got way more attention from women when I I shorter hair and a full beard. I will be cutting my hair soon.
@@LionHeart0808 maybe you look shit with the long hair
Problem I'm having is that I have very fine hair and a crazy calic in the front that makes my hair do crazy stuff. I'm probably only around 7 to 8 inches of length right now and I can't really do much with my hair. Have to let it fall where it wants to.
These are all true! I have been growing my hair over the past year and a half. Its shocking how people will just walk up and tell me to cut my hair! I'm not one that likes attention or standing out. That is one reason I let my hair go. I always wore my hair very short. I have psoriatic arthritis and the psoriasis in my head is bad in spots and was visible for a week or two after a haircut. So I decided to grow it out longer and people started with sometimes rude comments and the usual when are you going to cut your hair. One guy who happens to be my homosexual brother in law who I have been very supporting of in a culture that sometimes doesn't had the nerve to ask me why I decided to change my look to dirty hippie! (My wife who is the only one that I care what thinks assures me I don't look like a dirty hippie.) I've also been hit with the line MEN should have short hair!
I had long hair for 4 years. I gave up on long hair about 4 months ago. Too much time in the shower due to the process of maintaining my hair. Even after all the maintenance, my hair hair wasn’t looking as good as I wanted it to. So I went for a buzz... and now I’m growing it out into something new. Yes, long hair may take a lot of work to keep healthy, but I did like my long hair. Every long-haired man, however, has a breaking point.
So what have you been rocking lately ?
I used 2 have long hair and I hated having 2 tie my hair up in pony tail when going 2 formal events n during winter months cause I liked letting my hair down combed n styled back
I’m about 2 months overdue for a haircut and now all salons and barbershops are closed in my area.... I may be seeing what long hair is all about before things go back to some normalcy...probably will just let the beard grow out longer as well 😁
Do it lol. It'll be a good experience
Maybe it's a beginning of a trend. Long hair is the future! :D
I must be one of those i dont care guys. Actualy in my line of work long hair actualy gives me an edge. Most of my colleagues look straight up military which automaticly makes the look inaccessable and pompas and agressive where as im accepted by locals and look more accesable. I actualy find i dont realy care being called a hippy and shit i do have an issue being looked at with fear. Im a medic.
Yes! Long hair on men IS polarizing! Lol
I am a male with very long hair...and you best believe that random strangers will give you their opinion on your hair! Lol
I find that people either really, really love long hair...or really, really hate long hair. There is no in-between. People are never indifferent to my long hair. They either tell me: "Wow, you look so cool. Don't ever cut your hair" or "Dude, gross. You look like a girl. Cut your hair" lol
You definitely need to be a self-assured male with long hair and not give a crap about anyone else's opinion!
the last reason made me realize I haven't seen my barber in over a year...
I know yall complain about the wind but, when the wind catches your hair just right and it's clean and super glossy that day and flowing like waves of silk behind you you get noticed.
For anyone having issues with their hair at night or frizz, try sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase.
It needs just a ban
Zindo Riksan What needs a ban?
And also breakage
Yeah, wind is a pain. The top on my Jeep is down so I have to do something about the hair before I get in the Jeep. Otherwise I can't see the road for the hair.
as im watching this my headphones got caught in my hair smh
Have you guys tried to comb the conditioner through your hair?? That helps spread it evenly through your hair with less product. Give it a try
14 month with no cut all I use is zote to wash twice a week and Pantene conditioner it looks and feels good and strong.
As a guy with long hair I peacefully disagree. I recognize the issues with long hair, but for me it just works. To each their own I suppose
😂 they don't realky hate having that all that luxurious hair.
@@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power i know, but i personally love having the wind in my hair. Especially in a top down vehicle, it feels amazing
Dude most def isn't attracted to girls.
Vertical same except mine is only medium, so I’ll find out in the future
@@vertical3464 wind is an easy fix once it’s long enough but about 5-6 month range of growing it’s your worst nightmare
Bucket list, crossed it off at 40, day after cut it all off, donating to Locks of Love. Expected one of the 5 things was knots or getting caught in your short to medium beard.
The hardest thing for me when I had long hair was those times when I actually did consider getting it cut short. I'd have a back and forth battle in my head as to whether I should get it cut or not for about a week, then keep my hair for a few months before considering it again.
Just get a short hair wig and hide your long hair under it to see what it would look like when it’s short.
Interesting thoughts. Never had those problems myself. I guess after having long hair for 15 years or so, I don't notice any "problems." Plus, Mykonos can be a humid, windy place. Growing up there teaches you a thing or two about handling long hair, haha.
I've had long hair for 15 plus years, never spent a fortune on products use an anti dandruff shampoo and a coconut conditioner. To be honest though I wear it up a lot!
Hey guys no one behind the camera is telling you to cut your hair already because we all are just like you and we all love your hair
Sir, my name is ashutosh im from India an im 17 years old I've watched your videos it motivated me to grow out my hair .when that awakard stage comes I've always watch your video your video really helps me a lot.
I have long hair and my number one reason to hate it is how it gets in my mouth whenever I eat because I forgot to put it up on a bun or ponytail. It's genuinely the reason that makes me think I should just cut it already
Change style at front.
Hello this is Greg Berzinsky from Beardbrand Alliance.
I get the 'Jesus! You've returned!' comment on a weekly basis... 🙃
Wind… oh my lord. The longest my hair has been is only a few inches long but it was still enough for the wind to drive me INSANE
Maybe it's a good thing my hair fell out in my 20's I'll never have this issue
But the back and sides though. Also, you could just have short or medium hair without being bald on top.
I'm starting to grow long hair and people aren't liking it because it's looking too scruffy and messy, because I can't to anything with it. People are calling me homeless too because i also have a full beard. And people saying stop trying to look like a rock star....because I also listen to music that i don't like which is heavy rock and metal.
I'm just starting to experience some of these issues. Had a short cut (#2 around sides/back, ~1" on top) and just let it grow. Currently 14 months in and sort of wish I could hit the barber now with all this downtime to even it out. The hair on back of head is sitting about 3-4" further than the front so while it makes my hair look longer in general, it also looks a bit unkept. The worst part is the front/front-sides are just shy of good length to all be in a ponytail or bun so I have these goofy bangs that dangle when trying. Mostly means hair is worn down, wind messes with it big time. Happy overall though, hair's about 8" and starting to garner comments (mostly good, a few "hippie" comments starting to come out).
Exactly the point I'm at now. I had a short hair cut, though a bit longer than yours, and it's been about 12 months since my last cut, save for a couple of weeks ago when I got the wispy bits around my ears and base of the head where the hair doesn't grow any longer. I need about another inch or so of growth on the front before it'll stay when pulled back into a ponytail. I'm enjoying it though. It's the longest my hair's been all over ever - I used to have long hair 6 years ago but it was an undercut. Think I'll re-evaluate once I get to another couple of inches of growth and see how I feel!
Keep going mate!
After shampooing skip the conditioner in the shower and go for a small amount of hair masque instead. Then when you get out of the shower use a leave-in conditioner and comb it through. Either blow dry it or let it self dry. That I only do if I don’t have to go out for a couple of hours.
That’s the only three hair products I use, shampoo, hair masque and leave-in conditioner. Sometimes I might use a an oil on the ends or a leave-in spray for further conditioning. No hairspray or other crap doing damage on my hair. To be honest I have way more beard products than stuff for my hair.
I'm trying to grow my hair longer. Yeah I've just noticed this last month, but back of my hair getting caught on the odd things
I'm trying to grow hair long. And yes I'm noticing it's taking alot of longer to wash and dry my hair. So my shower time does take longer and then I having to brush the odd knot out
Always when people ask me about why do i have long hair or why i shouldn't cut my hair i simply answer : why you do have short hair or why you don't grow your hair lol , and they never ask about my hair again xD i just don't know why people consider short hair as reference
One of the reasons I hate long hair is when you decide to grow your hair long, the transition phase from short to long hair takes soooooo long. For a beard, no big deal, but the head hair is a real struggle getting through that phase.
LOL. WIND !!! I have considered MOVING to a less windy city because of this! .. Once i was jumping rocks at the beach.. the wind came along, I couldn't see, missed the next rock, and crash landed, hurt my leg and hip, but bruised my ego even more! Now there's a hairtie on my wrist at all times.
Talk about a preconceived notion-- do you think people from Appalachia aren’t cool enough for long hair? I’m disappointed you said that because I love watching you.
Love this, I get harped on by most men I see around me, called hippy and such. My mom almost every time I see her it's the first thing she says, "cut your hair" lol. Good stuff!! New to your channel and loving it
Yo it’s Greg and Trav!!! Greg introduces me to Trav in one of his videos where he explains where he gets style tips. Been following Trav ever since. Great collab! I’m 10 months in of my hair growth. Hopefully my hair will look as good as both of theirs.🤩🤩 And I do agree Long hair sucks at times but it’s totally worth it.
wind and humidity are the natural "enemies" of long hair :P
I love my long hair, it's awesome
ok pewdiepie
i thought i was the only one that didnt like the wind lmao
I'm at the 5.5 year mark presently, the things I haven't liked about having long hair is the maintenance, the migraines, and how it winds up getting in the way when I go to work on pretty much anything.
Not to mention the knots when I would ride my motorcycle(even when it was tied up with half a dozen hair ties or braided)... those knots were MURDER!
At this point, I figure I'm gonna settle on a longer viking style undercut that I can maintain at home. That way I'll still have some length to be able to style(and for the wife to play with), but have a more put-together appearance, as well as be more practical in my day to day life.
Currently rocking some long hair in windy Wyoming so I totally agree with the wind. It is the absolute worst thing to deal with
nothing beats a buzz or a clean shaved head with a beard - the best a man can get. Period !
I have had long hair for 38 years, I do not even notice most of the things you guys are hating. Granted I tie mine back in bed or on windy days, I also occasionally use a gaiter as a "dew rag". But everything else is insignificant annoyance to me. I however never wear a "man bun". I sink time into bear care why not my hair as well.
The only thing I hate about my long hair is I have to put it up every time I ride my motorcycles (No Helmet laws here), otherwise I have to spend 15-20 mins after the ride just brushing out all the knots
I strongly disagree with reason number 5 because I think with short hair you have far fewer options. It is cut into a style and that's how you wear it, day in and day out. Very few barbers/stylists are talented enough to cut hair that can be worn in different ways.
With long hair I feel I have a lot more choice beyond wear down or wear up. For example, I can bring out the natural wave for that wild, rock star look or I can blow dry/flat-iron for a smoother more professional look. Best of all, my hair looks as good in the morning as it did when I went to bed. My short back and sides used to stick up all over the place and the best part of my morning ritual was getting it to look presentable.
I agree about wind though!
I turn 55 at end of month. No haircut at all in 2020. So far a love/hate relationship.
Back during my long-haired days, I actually found the wind in my hair to be one of the coolest and most pleasant aspects. To each their own, I suppose :). Now, don't get me started on rain or humidity in general... That was a major annoyance.
hahaha 6:18 he didnt take that too well
Rosicky lol
You also have Viking braids dragon braids wolftail ponytail just a few hair styles that look good on men with long hair
None of these are modern looks so if you’re in a younger generation growing your hair out n you wear one of these n get flamed for it don’t be surprised. That also shouldn’t stop you from doing what you want with your hair tho cuz no one can tell you what to especially with something as intimate as your connection to your hair.
In answer to reason 1 : I have long hair and have done for a long time for maintenance on my hair all I use is anti-dandruff caffeine shampoo and conditioner, its a store brand in the UK. I've never had split from what I can remember. No product ever and I get complements on my hair, several women have said they like my hair.
My hair is super long (mid thigh), I just always have a couple clips with me. I like it down, but I need to tie it up in the wind, car, using the bathrooom, cooking....
The shedding drives my family crazy!
On the left: a bearded woman.
On the right: a bearded woman.
I wash once maybe twice a week, only use shampoo, my hairs gorgeous!!!
Make the wind work with you make it blow your hair the right way and just rock it like in the movies
the shedding all over that's what I hate the most
I tend to use less products, in the past with an undercut each day I would use paste to style it. Now I just use more shampoo and conditioner. The wind is a big factor on the Sailboat, oh boy what a mess. The other issue is heat, much hotter with all that hair. When my hair was short (since apparently my facial looks hasn’t changed in many years) seeing people from high school they would recognize instantly, now with long hair 2 years later they walk right by me 😂. The transition from short to long was the hardest part, in a corporate environment you cant wear a cap during the awkward phase .
Number one for me is i forget to trim and keep sitting on it.
I love your long hair...it's awesome!
why grow it at his age though?
@@zechariahcameron3645 Why not?
I have long hair and beard. I never wear it down. It’s almost pointless to have. I rather hide my hair in normal day to day activities. No one wants to see a dude fussing over his hair. One point of suggestion is quit messing with it like a girl. Let it do what it wants.
Vinyl in the van !! You look like a psychotic Santa Clause, but if I’m being honest, I’m into it.
wulfgar3000 because no reason to go to barber or stylus except maybe every 3-4 months ,even then it’s not mandatory. Why have short hair ? I’ve had both. Why have a beard .. ? I think the main reason is... laziness! And hate the feel of razors I can say my reason
Both my grandmothers are part American Indian, and one is part south asian indian, long hair is apart of my Heritage and culture. 🌹
Just wear a man bun to sleep, and on Windy days .
When you sleep use some type of satin covering so your hair doesn't dry out, and break off.
Men out there,🤴 unless you're in the military, or have some type of job that requires your hair to be short, 💛 stay true to yourself and wear your hair the way you want.
Finally someone is tackling the stuff we need to sit down and exchange ideas. I first thought this was dad & son. Made me realize that my dad never talked to me about his hair on day one after a shampoo. What kind of man was he?! He wasted all of his time teaching me nonsense like priorities and virtue.
I guess I'm just lucky. I hardly if ever have a single person say something negative to me about my hair. Have had long hair for years and years. Now I will say that any time I've cut if all off I've had lots of comments about it both positive and negative, but never had someone have the gall to say to my face anything about my long hair.
Showers do suck though because its inevitable that even if I'm not washing its gonna get wet and take forever to air dry. And I use cheap shampoo and conditioner. Making sure to use the best for my hair type still but I dont splurge. As for getting caught in stuff yeah it happens sometimes. But I wear a sloppy top bun for bedtime and its usually up or tied back when working. And wind loves my wavy/curly mane. Just pumps up the volume.
I'm trying to grow my hair long and yes Wind is a pain when I have a window down I the car 🚗 because it's hot
I loved his Analogue Bubblebath
I got my hair caught in the beater bar of a vacuum before. Probably the most shameful moment of having long hair...
Aquaman and Odin!?
I actually like the wind messing up my curls
How often do you wash your hair with the Beardbrand Utility Bar?
12:02 Then go to the barber shop to see him. It doesn’t mean you have to go in the chair and get length taken off.
Trav half your mustache is pointing down and half is pointing to the side is that intentional haha
I can understand the problem with wind but it’s a whole nother level when you have receding hair. Because it’s necessary to style the hair in a way that covers the problem areas. You think you look good and then outside all your effort just goes away after a few seconds. It’s really frustrating !
Those "stylists" are not real stylists if they think guys should have limited amount of options when it comes to hairstyle.
Actually Point #5 for me is a advantage. Don't like sitting around in the hair salon, waiting until it's my turn, letting someone snip around on my head, making efforts to have some polite conversations with the hairdresser... meeh.
But I have another point to replace it:
Frizz in the neck during winter! Thick clothes or scarfs are sitting so tight, so that they rub on the bottom hair all day long. At the end of the day, there's just one big hair ball in my neck and the attempt to coam through that area is... pure HELL!
