    I made this video a few years ago while I was still pretty new to RUclips. It’s long winded. Sometimes I consider making a version half as long with the same main points. Here’s the condensed version in writing if you don’t want to sit for twenty minutes.
    1. A one length buzzed haircut is “round” meaning all one length. This only looks good for a short while but once the hair is long enough to stick out, bend, and move, it should be cut a little more square to avoid an awkward phase.
    2. Once you’ve got a square haircut if you continue growing the top and tapering the bottom you eventually end up with a bowl cut. Stop tapering the bottom and let it all lay back.
    3. If you have an undercut it might make your hair easier to live with in the short term but will cause problems in the long term as you grow it out. Once the sides are long enough to lay back it might be a better choice to lose length on top and get rid of the undercut so that the hair can all grow together in a more versatile shape- you’ll have less awkward hair this way.
    4. When everything is long enough to flow back it should be very easy to live with and should always look relatively styled as long as it has a good shape to it (don’t visit the cheapest barber you can find or a fade specialist who dreads doing scissor cuts, find someone who does these cuts). The most frequent thing you’ll likely need is trimming the back as it’ll feel like you have a mullet eventually. If you’re into the mullet then leave it alone.
    5. You’ve been sweeping your hair back for a year. Now your hair is long.

      Amazing, I already did this kind of process with my hair. That is my second time letting it grow and I have to say that any man who is letting it grow will watch the entire video, because that is that kind of subject people are interested in

    The easiest way to get past "awkward" is to stop deciding that every little thing is "awkward". It's just less artifical and overgroomed.

    I’m 33 and All my life I’ve been trying to grow long hair. I’ve always just buzzed it after a certain point because of the “awkward” stage, I just couldn’t handle that stage lol. I was always lost on what to do along the way I couldn’t just not cut it. Nice guide to hopefully finally achieve it. 💪🏽💪🏽

    My own hair growth success, I myself followed this daily regimen:
    Take morning sunshine every day for essential vitamin D. Consume veggies of various colors. Using paraben-free and fragrance free shampoo and massaging twice a week with hair oil from litttleextra's cooconion. Important to remember that hair growth is affected by overall health as well as circulation and diet.

    • @Raao1
      @Raao1 12 дней назад

      Vitamin D absorbed through the skin is very little, and you need hours of exposure for the whole body. Look up the studies.
      Better way to get it is to supplement Vit D3 in big dosages

    I’m a non-professional that is growing hair out and just wanted to express thanks. This video was super digestible between the presentation structure, the whiteboard, and the example photos. I feel like I learned a lot but was never overwhelmed, never was left with an identified problem and no solution, and now I have a great resource to come back to as I hit those little stumbling blocks you mentioned and remember this video. Thank you!

    I used to have long hairs and my awkward phase lasted for about 6 months (with various stages of awkwardness) but as soon as they reached around my shoulders, it looked glorious to be honest. Having long hairs is something that a lot of us men should try more often, it really makes you stand out tbh.
    I kinda want to let them grow again after this video haha.

    Not always the best advice though if you're wanting to tie it up like a bun as you'll have the length on top but the shorter hair at back if your neck won't reach to tie with the rest. So it's best letting it all grow out equally and just trim dead ends if needed

    • @casecold1864

    Do you recommend growing long hair during winter months?
    I like to grow long hair during summer too but I workout a lot so my hair gets sweaty. Short to bald hair makes my cold showering process easy. Less water waste.

    This is a fucking excellent video! I bet if I go to a barber they won't have a clue about this type of quality that you demonstrate. Add to that my hair is frizzy, wets easy but dries quickly too - they always cut it like everyone else's and I can see the look of horror when they try and style it cos they realise they've fucked it up. so for years I've had to do my own - but your shit is next level so I need to go this route!!

    The last tip is definitely the most important. Check if the barber actually knows how to do the hairstyle you want. I went to a barber for quite some time and I was very happy until I decided to grow my hair out. I said to him that I want to grow out my hair and that I just want the edges to get cleaned up. I ended up with an undercut and lost like 2 months of progress growing out the sides and even had to get another haircut to shorten my top hair because I looked like a clown a couple of weeks later. So not checking cost me like 3-4 months in total...

    I would like it with long hair, but how should I arrange it if I have hair loss in the front? Not very pronounced

    Very informative video, but I would like to clarify once again what should I do with the sides while transitioning between the stages. Obviously I can not leave them untouched while being "Tennis Ball" until I will reach "Undercut". So what are the best options for each stage in regards to the sides?

      I just let it grow out with a fade and once the top was a bit longer asked for a middle part with undercut
