i prefer the short hair but u looo good overall

[Anonymous No.14717941]

>>14717563

>trim every 8 weeks

why if your trying to grow it out?

[Anonymous No.14718301]

>>14717941
to shape it I assume, would probably look uneven or just ugly if left to grow on its own for too long

[Anonymous No.14718312]

6 months looked best

[Anonymous No.14718682]

>>14717563
For added context: originally had frizzly hair, severely itchy scalp and heavy dandruff, growth of hair was extremely slow. Issues caused by improper products used and being starved by a mentally ill mother. Constantly shaved hair off every 6 months due to pains I'd get from the weight of the hair on my fragile scalp.

Tl;Dr later on left mentally ill vegan mom, gained weight, and changed hair products. Saw hair go puberty mode as it began to grow very fast for the first time.

>Time: exactly 1 year and 2 months since last dyke style buzzcut.
>Length: slightly past shoulders.
>Hair Type: unsure if wavy or straight. Changes form sometimes. Silky smooth. Most people who touched my hair claims it's thick.
>Routine: Varies, but usually shampoo and condition every other day max, sometimes will wash hair only with conditioner for one week. Sometimes will use hair masks once to 3 times a week. Always apply oil after I'm done showering. Trim every 4 to 6 months. Had no split ends so far.


>Products: Lavender Shampoo (has no spec of chemicals in it, not even the obscure ones people overlook and use), various Aussie conditioners, Garnier hair masks (any), Garnier argan oil for the tips, Syoss oil, L'Oréal Elvital oil. Considering using coconut eventually.

Sorry for no pics, never took pics of self when hair was shorter.

Hair after about 1 1/2 years of growth or so. I do like it but I’m probably cutting it all in a few weeks, will probably try again in a year or so and actually get it trimmed regularly etc because I didn’t do anything with it this time around. It looks better down imo but it also gets blown like fuck when it’s windy. This is how it looks now but usually there are less loose strands around

Just trimming the very ends to avoid splits.

Wild story. Good job getting out of an unhealthy environment and taking care of yourself. We have very similar hair (thick/coarse/wavy), so use those words when talking to your stylist about how to cut it and care for it.

[Anonymous No.14719263]

>>14717563
Looks very nice :3

>>14718706
Looks a little dry but that's understandable due to your story. Have you thought about adding a biotin supplement? I think both you and OP may benefit from looking into the CG (curly girl/guy) method. I'm experimenting with it myself and like my results so far.

[Anonymous No.14719361]

>>14717563

Jesus Christ I'm at 9 months and it's driving me crazy. Can't do a goddamn thing with it. The ends all flip out and it does this weird bullshit over my ears. Last time it was long I just used a low messy bun if I needed it squared away. I hate pony tails. I just have to use pomade an slick it back if I go anywhere nice. Kill me.

[Anonymous No.14719377]

>>14717563
I can't respect anyone with a manbun. Honestly op, you look better with short hair.

[Anonymous No.14719776]

you faggots dont understand what "long" in long hair means apparently

[Anonymous No.14719780]

It's an inspo thread dude. For people who do not yet have the long hair, but are looking for inspirations for their hair farming. You are being negative, but you have unintentionally posted inspo.

[Anonymous No.14719783]

>>14719780
i have hair like that , thats why i posted
and im 99% sure you guys would not want to have that long hair

[Anonymous No.14719790]

>>14719783

Why not eh? I cut mine a couple of years ago, and now am this guy >>14719361 waiting for it to grow back. It was down to just above my ass. Total pain in the ass, but I loved it.

[Anonymous No.14719795]

>>14719790
why did you cut it
for the first time in 7 years i was contemplating to cut it too but im scared

[Anonymous No.14719804]

>>14719795

shave you head, metal's dead

nah but because it was damaged from being too rough, and dying it a bunch (bad halloween decision fml). the texture changed due to starting to grey, so i just chopped it. growing it now with keeping an eye on not brushing with wrong brushes, and washing less overall.

[Anonymous No.14719814]

pls be not lying
and here i was thinking thats its wrong for adult to have long hair

[Anonymous No.14719840]

>>14719832

well i don't see why it's wrong if you consider men's hairstyles from antiquity. besides, who cares? also i'm a old school unapologetic metalhead who happens to also have a career, house, etc and all that boring grown up stuff.

[Anonymous No.14719846]

>>14719840
thats awesome to hear

too bad for me that i never grew my hair because of music
seems i dont ha ve really a reason except maybe i felt its more natural to my personality if that makes sense

[Anonymous No.14719850]

>>14719846

well you don't need a reason to do what you like. plus, you can always cut it if you need to right?

[Anonymous No.14719867]

>>14719850
yea i guess
the part where i cut it and then freak out and find out i hate it scares me because i'll have to wait years again to grow back...
but then again maybe its healthy for hair itself to cut it every so years so it can heal itself and grow new strong hair... i dont know

[Anonymous No.14719874]

>>14719867

i don't think it matters to the hair if you cut it, excepting of course split ends. it's good for the scalp to shave it every once in a while though. that is fun. one day you come to work with long ass hair, and the next you are bald like fucking mr. clean hahah

[Anonymous No.14720475]

im growing mine all out from a mullet,going to look pretty shitty for a few months before the sides are long enough to justify trimming

[Anonymous No.14721797]

not enough inspo here. just grow it out. 3 years. bed head. sorry if photo is shit. mobile fagging. good luck, anons.

[Anonymous No.14723209]

If I let my hair grow they become weird.
I cut them off because I couldn't handle them and it's really annoying dry them or let them dry

The strange thing is that every time I showered I got different results

[Anonymous No.14723233]

What kind of shampoos and conditioners, if any at all, do you guys use? How often do you use it?

[Anonymous No.14723432]

>>14723209
that looks really interesting

[Anonymous No.14724211]

>>14723233
depends on your hair. get natural shit if possible. i shamp + condition every 3 days or so. air dry (takes a long time). oh, and eat protien. really makes for a healthy mane.

Fucking hell, both of you guys' hair is incredible. Mine is long but pretty thin, and after tying it back for a year or so I've started thinning on top.
Other than the obvious, any tips for remedying this?

[Anonymous No.14724671]

Took me 2 years of saving, and using a lot of hair masks. I do have short hair now though

>straight to a manbun
goddamnit

[Anonymous No.14725828]

Been growing for 5 years now, haven't been to a barber once, uncomfortable to have them out, can't grow facial hair as well, I wear it only in a ponytail which looks pretty bad too, I got used to them though, so any basic hairstyles I should try out? My forehead is pretty large and my hair is too long for a manbun

[Anonymous No.14725854]

Been growing mine from high and tight (big fucking mistake) for about 6 months.
As you can see it's very straight fine and thin.
Would shoulder length work for my face shape?

Is biotin recommended?

[Anonymous No.14726432]

I cut my long hair a few years ago and I regret it bitterly. I can't believe I fell for the "you need to look professional" meme. Anyway, I feel like growing it back out again. Since cutting it though, I've discovered that I like feeling of having a shaved head, so I want to keep the sides short. Pic related is the closest thing I could find, but a little longer on top. Could something like this work?

What kind of brushes or combs should one with long, curly hair use?

I use a dressing comb - can be found at your local drugstore/dept store in the hair section.

I really dig the half up pony (4:25).

Currently growing out and at something more like a pixie cut length wise.
Need an intermediate goal till I reach real long hair.

[Anonymous No.14729578]

>>14726432
Like a longer undercut styled as a fringe?
Sounds good, still fairly unprofessional though.
More of a thuggish/punk vibe. Real cool though

Huh. I was told by a couple of barbers that pulling it back was the issue, and I've seen a few articles supporting that.

[Anonymous No.14729958]

>>14729566
Yes, it works well

>>14729578
The only bad part is when you get to the point where the top is quite long and your sides are so far behind your hair looks and feels thin unless it's up

>>14728672
These are a few of my favorite things
