Hi guys! Thanks so much for checking out my channel. I hope this video will be motivational for anybody wondering what it's like having long hair or whether to grow it.

1. Challenge conventional beauty standards. 2. Getting confidence from negativity. 3. People are drawn to what's different. 4. I just like having long hair!
My long hair represents nonconformity and individuality ! It’s always good to stand out ! Going on 2 years here and my hair is touches the top of back 🙌🏽
I used to have long black hair . One day the humidity was strong , thick and heavy . It made me take electric shears to it . I sported the bald look for quite some time . Then cancer got me . I was already bald , so I didn't know if my hair fell out . After the major shut down , I stopped going to get my hair cut . So all my long hair is new stuff .
Having long hair, for me, is about being authentic. It's who I am. I reject the sanitised, prepackaged, male societal "uniform." I find it amusing the stereotypes people associate w/ a man having long hair. At the very best, they assume an unmotivated, hippy bum, that just can't make it in society. Having a fit body, in a nicely tailored suit, and having CLEAN, well-groomed long hair flowing, breaks their molds. They don't know how to respond. When the women find out you own three businesses, it shatters their "hippy bum" preconcoction. It forces them to reevaluate. NOW real conversations can start. Alex, I LOVE what you do, mate! Don't you ever stop!
When i started growing my hair years back it was because of my music but mostly i have a huge interest in history and always thought these kings with hair/beards looked badass. And the conan movies lol. I was a kid but it always stuck with me.
Well said thanks for being honest and sincere good for you. Just happened to me on the weekend left a coffee shop people at this table on the patio looked at me going in and did a second look while I was leaving as well. Not used to the attention 🤙
I've had a long hair for many years now. My experience is basically this: not all girls will like it, but those who do... OMG they go crazy about it. 😅
Growing up parents made me have short hair. Then the army required me to have short hair for many years. I decided to grow it out because I wanted to know what it looked like. I feel like I get noticed a lot more and I think I look good.
I agree, what's more is it isn't about the long hair it's the mentality, I loved the stage when it gets messy, and it just tells you stop caring about your looks so much all the time, invest in other things to better yourself. I personally didn't even think of it as being special, it's more personal than that, it's the easiest way to see yourself putting in effort for something. For growing the hair, it made me more proactive to take care of my body in others ways too, skin care , physique, the way I expressed myself and so on. This whole process made me treat both compliments and critics equally, end of day they are just other's opinion.
I had long hair from the age of 14 up until I was about 26, but it was always so thick that I didn't know what to do with it, now I'm 54 and Im growing it out again, Im not balding and its not coarse, but my hair has thinned out, and its much more manageable than when I was younger🤘
Well, I'm a girl, I've been growing my hair lately, I have knee length hair but I would love to grow ankle length... I totally loved your video I was drawn by the title, personally, I think men with long hair are simply marvelous, it looks amazing. You are looking great! 💖💖💖 Keep doing what makes you happy, there's nothing more attractive than confidence!
I have collar bone length naturally straight hair, thanks to my daddy. And a well maintenance short beard and have been told many times I have a rugged exterior which is what women find attractive about me first.
I really don't get why some people think guys having long hair is strange. Historically, men have always had long hair from cavemen to ancient Greeks to vikings even in the 60s 70s 80s 90s loads of men had long hair
I grew my hair for a year now and I am proud of it. Even though some times people calls me a girl by mistake specially a little further away from me. But when they get close they shut their mouth and just smile at me😁
I've had long hair my whole life. [ IT WORKED] Then I cut it all off 😥🤮. Now a haven't cut it 3 years & the experience between having long hair & short is completely different. My personal intuitions are you don't have to approach women they will break the awkward first communication barrier when I have long hair just my personal self esteem. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
Nice job, thank you! Agreed! Mid thirties, all over nyc area... steep uptick in meets recently, street, bar, train, work. Have had somewhat long hair before but been just over a year now. Somewhat curly, pretty crazy looking when not styled, or hat, but I been digging it and rocking this sht confidently. Fck what other people think, do you! Women so use to men running the same old game. Confident Individuality, good for all peoples and self at minimum anyways.
Long hair is amazing I’ve had my manbun for 3 years but in the next month or so I’ll end up cutting because I am losing my hair to traction alopecia or just genetics but I feel my temples hurting when I tie my hair up, but I’ll miss the bun when I cut it :( i am so scared but I got to do it even tho this is my identity
I feel like I look better with long hair. If you like it then you’re in a better mood and put off positive vibes. Most others reaction is positive. Women pay attention to hair.
nice to hear your speech... on a day when my wife cancels a invitation to a friend's wedding she does not want to go to with me otherwise I got a hair cut. I am growing out for about 1 year now and it's really not looking as great yet as it will when it's really long. But cutting it now? Only to please my wife's shyness to be authentic? NEVER 😂
I'm 63 and my hair is 21in long. No gray. Women really love it. But, guys will walk up, thinking I'm a woman. Then, I turn around and they smile and try to play it off. So funny. I never do a dork-knob [bun]. I only wear it down or in a ponytail. No more short hair for me. Took me 6 years to get it this long.
hunny but me the longer the hair is the biger the care of is & I just prefer long hair coz it will reflect how the clean is a person & how much care he gives 2 him self so it depends & short hair is everywhere so something rare always looks attractive( we love diamant & gold coz of being rare ) coz not all man have the brave 2 grow there hair & challenge the judgement which they face on societies & challenge the smells & the care product being selective 2 what they should put on it all of this challenges 2gother make it so attractive unlike short hair wich doesn't coast a lot of money , time , care , product...insults sexism hate statement all of that which long hair will coast u
If it's good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me. I love my long hair and I'm not cutting it for anyone...no woman, no person. I don't care if people like my hair or don't. I LIKE IT, and that's all that matters. Jesus Merlin Thor Samson We are in the minority and that's off the hook....Rebels without a cause...
two drunk idiots called me Tarzan in a mocking way (I know being called Tarzan is not a bad thing, he was muscular and good looking no homo) but they were telling me that in a mocking way
My story about growing my hair long is kind of special or unique because I just started growing my hair last year after I couldnt get a cut without wearing a mask. I am totally against the mask and COVID agenda, which I believe is a worldwide plan to control us all. Considering growing har has also been a sign of rebellion since the 60s , it ccouldnt have been a more appropriate thing to do I thought ! Maybe even a gift from God ! I have always wanted to grow my hair long since my teens since I was very much into rock music and idolized people like the guys in groups like Pink Floyd, Zeppelin, Sabbath and the rest, but espcially Jim Morrison, who I idolized and people told me I look ike when I did let my hair get a bit long. When I was 16 and 17 I grew it just below shoulder length but like you have said it would grow out instead of down, and I just couldnt deal with it anymore so cut it short for years. So its never been nearly as long as it is now at 56 years old, and I love it. I use a coconut oil based shampoo which I also think helps keep it from drying out. I get lots of compliments from people who say I look better with long hair, and I am sure it does fit my face better as many people seem to have pointed out , that people with different faces will look better with long hair . Thaks for the videos of support , great job on them !

I'm always into men with long hair. They gives off a different kind of vibes. Very balance in their feminine and masculine nature❤

Man this video is filled with jewels, a lot of the quotes here are amazing. Now I’m even more excited on my hair journey
I’m so proud you got that from this. Thanks for sharing 🙏
Thank you for the video, liked it so much, I have grown my hair for over 10 months now!
I've had a long hair for many years now. My experience is basically this: not all girls will like it, but those who do... OMG they go crazy about it. 😅
I love the Trav shoutout! I've been following his tips these past several months since starting my hair growth journey
Thanks man🙏

You’ll definitely get noticed a lot more. I know I certainly did. I’m sure you look awesome

I agree completely. It definitely makes you realise that it is just other people’s opinions and nothing else

U should start live and stop talking about Ur hair😄
narsism is heavy sickness.
bruh 😂 he is not being narcissistic
The fact you took your time to leave a hate comment says a lot about you. :P don't be mean for no reason!😶
@@gizsama U should start think positive about comments. Dont spread or use ur negative thougts on me. Its true narsism is heavy sickness.
@@tarquinball no its not😄 not at all.
Love my long hair, just hate how long it takes to grow
