I made the choice to start growing out in late July. Last time my hair was shoulder length was 2016 so I just passed awkward stage 1 of like 9. Trying not to stress about over washing or over conditioning. Patience sucks.
😆 I've been growing my hair out and it's been 6 months since March....Your videos really help me out from understanding our hairtype to hairstyles to try out like...Eren Yeager 😎...Keep us updated mr.trav and may you reached your next milestone...💪💪💪💪
This is helpful, thank you! I've always been a little confused about what all the terms mean and this helps me so much more. Would you consider doing a video on hair accessories? For example, I like tying my hair back, but I've heard that hair ties can cause damage and breakage.
When I shampoo every day I have the first image in the thumbnail. When I take my hair out of the hair tie because that’s uncomfortable down. It’s like Jason mamoa. But I can’t make it comfortable and bouncy unless it’s been in a hair tie
I've heard Minoxidil applied to the scalp if you have full hair makes it appear even fuller, almost as if hair density is increased. I wonder if there is anything to that.🤔
Very useful content.. As for the moisture absorption inducing a rough unhealthy surface.. I may add that my personal test or sign is when in need to a trim, it is when the ends start needing untangling.. I'm obsessed with the health of my hair😊BTW I like your hair do, is it a half ponytail from the back or small bun?
My family has really well hair genetics. It's always moisturised and silky. Which mine is the exact opposite, my hair is dry and flaky. I tried many different dieting and shampoos, even 3-4 days without showering and it still dries up instantly. I don't know what else to do-
Wassup Trav great vid, I seem to have the same hairtype as you 1and 2a, thin hair, medium porosity but my hair is shorter (middle part)so not sure what it would look like very long. What products do you recommend?
Btw trav why does my hair not fall down when I bring it up it like is in the middle and I have straight/wavy hair type. But my guess is that it’s bc of the humidity in the air.
Hi trav - what product can one use to keep hair mostierised throughout the day outside of oils - oil make my scalp flakey n itchy but genrally my hair is dry and stays dry
My hair takes forever to dry and I can feel little bumps or ridges when I go back and forth on my hair with my fingers but my hair doesn’t snap when I pull it so I don’t know what I have for porosity.
After watching 2 Times this video i still don't get it what is my hair type I got 2b and 2c curl pattern Low porosity hair 1 day after wash i get extremely greasy hair so o got oily scalp i think what should i do i live in a country where I don't get products easily
If you have an oily scalp after a day, try and only shampoo the scalp area when you shampoo. If you use conditioner, only condition the ends of your hair, never the scalp, or close to the scalp, since your natural oils will quickly take care of those. With your curl patters the oils probably dont travel down the shaft too quickly, but closer to the head its probably more noticeable. If you have long hair it may help sleeping with your hair in a bun or tied up in some way to prevent the shafts being pressed against your skin and the pillow, causing more oils to transfer on the shaft of your hairs. After that see how long you can go without shampoo.. maybe if its every other day instead of daily, these steps have at least helped a little bit. Don't worry about fancy products until you can try these things out and see what happens. Given you have oily scalp, some products like Head and Shoulders probably wont dry out your hair like it does for some people, but again, scalp and near scalp only for shampoo, ends conditioned and rinsed with cool water. As you rinse your scalp the shampoo should rinse off some of the oils from the rest of the shaft just not as concentrated.
@@An.Unsought.Thought hey thank you soo much mate I got your advice and i am looking for to implement on it Now one more concern should o apply serum after shower? Cuz i have been doing it since 6 months Leave in products cause buildup for me so leave in conditioner is a no go completely And i was thinking of applying rice protein should i start doing it? I have a goal of textured fringe but when ever i try it it gets so sticky and looks hideous
11:13 my hair i can see it with my naked eye it looks somewhat thick and i can fee it somewhat well when rubbed under my two fingers with little pressure if with no pressure then i feel it little bit... please reply what texture i have
Hi Trav. Yes I watched this again. My hair is 2a but I have lots of it. When my hair was short it was course, really thick and lots of it but now it is shoulder length it is deffo thinner. Is this normal. I am also having lots of breakage. Please help.
Might be an early sign of androgenic alopecia. Does anyone in your family have thinning hair? When I started to grow out my hair from a military regulation haircut towards longer length I noticed similar change on thickness of hair in regards to were it is on my head. Probably want to get checked out by a dermatologist to be sure cause it could be a lot of things like stress and a tense scalp or issues with diet or sleep. If you catch it early enough you can kinda course correct it from going to a worse condition that is much harder to change.
Hello Trav I’m coming to you for some advice I’m a 15 year old with 2c dry hair I started growing out my hair about 14 months ago, but I didn’t get a fade or undercut like everyone else I had a different haircut. It wasn’t until 2 months ago that I realized my hair was completely uneven and now I don’t know what to do the front of my hair is way shorter than the back and sides of my hair plz help
My advice to u 1 ) about the front is shorter than back i think it's just an illusion cuz the back hair is always a pain in the ass so u always feel it's longer 2) if ur hair is not even go get a trim but not much trim OK.. Just the right amount to even out ur hair .... Keep it up bro Im still beginning the journey 😂😅
My guess is you didn't get an "establishing cut" when you started growing and just kinda started growing it from whatever style you used to have, yeah? You probably just need to get it cut. Go to a stylist and show them a picture of what you want.
Yes. But generally its the extremes that make a difference. Dry air like that experience in colder climates, like during winter in the northern hemisphere, can evaporate the moisture in your hair which dry it out. Can make it brittle, causing more breakage while brushing. May need product to combat this but depending on your hair type and how fast your scalp produces oils, maybe not. And too humid can swell your hair and cause frizz. All you can do is monitor your hair during these environmental conditions and compare them to other environmental conditions and how your hair looks and feels during those.
Hi Trav, i really need your help with finding the right products for my hair. So i've been growing out my hair for about 2-3 months now(always kept it shorts since my parents didnt want me to have hair longer than 4 inches), and i have found out that my hair is actually curly but there's a problem. My hair only stays curly when i wash it with cold water and wet, and then later brushes out and becomes frizzy. I'm not sure what my hair type is but according to the images of hair types, i seem to have 2c or 3b type hair(when washed with cold water and is still wet). But when it brushes out, i think it becomes 2a/2b type hair, and i was wondering how to keep my hair 2c/3b because i love how it looks. Any recommendations of product that might help me out?
@@scooternsc2356 yep only brush your curly hair when it’s wet, preferably when your in the shower. the guy in this video has another video out where he shows his hair routine and he only really brushed it to detangle it and he only did that when he was in the shower w/ conditioner sitting in his hair
Hello trav white I am a 13 y.o who wants to keep long hair. I have 1-2a type hair, I am too young to have a beard so I look like a girl my parents always tell me I look like a girl and I should cut it they dont support me with my journey I dont have a good shampoo and other products bc of that I tell my parents abt you but they dont listen what do you think I should do I like my long hair
You have a whole life ahead of you. At 13 you will likely be subject to your parents rules and choices for a few years. Look forward to getting a job and making your own money so that you can buy the products you want. Probably going to be around 16 to 18. If your parents let you keep your long hair, figure out ways to make it look as good as possible. May take trial and error but you can always brush it in different ways, introduce hair ties for different styles, wear a beanie/slouchy. Being compared to a girl is common by people who grew up used to guys having short hair. If you look like a girl its more likely because you are 13 and not yet a grown adult... your time will come. Be patient. Try not to resent your parents, products cost money. And if you end up going through a trial/error process with pricy products that they can't be sure will react well with your hair, I'm sure they don't want that money to be wasted. Especially in this economy. Ultimately when you do get older your hair will probably look and grow better than it does now and your future self probably won't think much about the hair you have now. So perhaps making due with the products you have available to you is good enough for now.
1-2a hair type, thick density, 27 yo male, about armpit hair length at my 4th long hair journey. Let's start with the "look like a girl" thing. You don't need a beard, you just need some patience. At my last awkward stage (1 year back) when i couldn't wear my hair in a bun yet, the first time that a friend of my parents met me he told me (before saying hello) that I look like my mother but taller and with a stubble 😂 (he didn't mean to offend me or make fun of me, he was just spontaneous). Don't worry, I have even more ridiculous stories from my 1st long hair journey (when I was 11 yo). If you want long hair just give it a try because if you keep it long you will have the most badass style after 2 years. Here is the order (from more feminine look to more masculine for our hair type as it grows longer naturally, without undercut): loose hair > half-up half-down (not a fan at this early stage, try it only if you have more of a thin hair density otherwise it's better to avoid it completely at this stage, or not, your choice) > man bun (not too high, not too low, the messier the more masculine) > ponytail (the higher the more feminine, the lower the more masculine). So with the right hairstyle the longer your hair, the more masculine it looks. You have to set your first goal. If I were at your age I would go for a "Low fade undercut with man bun" hairstyle (again, bun must not placed too high) at first and then I would experiment according to my taste. The undercut will make your style more masculine. If you can't have a good shampoo, conditioner and other products go for a not good shampoo (but use less amount) + a not good *conditioner + learn how to use argan oil (you can buy it from a pharmacy or a herbs & spices shop). * If you can't have a conditioner then make it by yourself. You need to mix coconut oil and honey and you are ready.
I’m sick of my hair type I actually have locs but if it’s not in dreadlocks it would be a coily hair type like 4b-4c, and I mostly wish I had hair that would hang down like a wavy/curly 2c hair type I would want or at least 3a hair but ofc genetics isn’t fair💀💀
Don´t understand why beautiful guy like you growing out your beard so long, way to thick and gritty but still not tight enough on the sides ... So beautiful hair and eyes and you hide your face way to much
It's more complex than high school math lol
Well, in that case, it's good to master the basics. Because once you do, everything else will be easier and built on them
Hv you gone to Highschool ?

Samee!
It's unbelievable how informative and value packed your videos are. They really act as a guide and help out a ton. Thank you so much! Keep rocking!
I watched the original video just the other day, this is perfect now!
This is helpful, thank you! I've always been a little confused about what all the terms mean and this helps me so much more.
Would you consider doing a video on hair accessories? For example, I like tying my hair back, but I've heard that hair ties can cause damage and breakage.
No doubt this is one of my favorites videos, very educative and useful, thanks for sharing👏👏👏👏👏👏
me just finding out that hair is supposed to be elastic and not just pulling on it and nothing happens to it...
Thank you for making this
im a 20 year old asian male, has a curly/wavy hair, and this video is lit, very helpful
Thank you Trav! I needed this video. 🙏
When I shampoo every day I have the first image in the thumbnail. When I take my hair out of the hair tie because that’s uncomfortable down. It’s like Jason mamoa. But I can’t make it comfortable and bouncy unless it’s been in a hair tie
I must have some vision issue because the grey area looks orange to me.
I've heard Minoxidil applied to the scalp if you have full hair makes it appear even fuller, almost as if hair density is increased. I wonder if there is anything to that.🤔

Great explanation again Trav. Is it true, if you get your hair trimmed (split ends taken off), this can stop hair breakage.
Any answer ?
My family has really well hair genetics. It's always moisturised and silky. Which mine is the exact opposite, my hair is dry and flaky. I tried many different dieting and shampoos, even 3-4 days without showering and it still dries up instantly. I don't know what else to do-
Get a shampoo that says moisture on it, like Maui, and don't use head and shoulders
When it gets longer it gets complex
extremely helpful even for short haired men like me
Hey trav, my hair type is 1. it almost at shoulder length and always come to my face what should I do, which product I need to use.
My hair is just always frizzy in the morning !!!! I got really thick hair
Try a sleep cap!
@@TravWhiteStyle okay Trav I never tried that stuff but I will actually look into it now 🙏
@@TravWhiteStyle and do you know how to prevent ddosses someone trying to ddos me I have no idea about this stuff it’s a toxic little kid :(

Does weather make a difference like I mean can different weathers like humid weather or dry weather make your hair better or worse?

Fine hair needs lightweight products or medium/thin density
