  • Hey guys,
    In this video I'll discuss the pros and cons of having long hair, what I used to maintain it and why I finally decided on cutting it. It's been a long journey and I'm excited to share my story with you all.

    Let me say I think the reason you decided to cut your hair was nice. I'm 70 years old. I've grown my hair out maybe 4 times in my life. I'm growing it long now. It started when COVID hit and all the shops closed down. This time I want to see exactly how long it will get. At my age, I'm just lucky to have hair to grow and that's why I hesitate to cut it. It's easy when you're young to say you can always grow it back. You assume you have plenty of time. But when you're my age, you start wondering about how much time you have to grow it back.

      man, i was growing mine for 1 year and 3 months, last week i decided to get the sides shaved, without cuting the hair of the top of the head. It was a bad decision, it is looking horrible, i'll probably have to get another haircut and then start growing it again, it will take about 6 months to it start looking good again, and 10 months to it start looking as good as it was before i had the laterals shaved. I'm feeling horrible, since i cut it i'm having difficult to sleep and to eat. (Sorry for the bad english)

    I also had 3 years without cutting my hair, it was as high as my nipples. In May of this year, I cut it at shoulder height, but it has already grown a few cm. I have considered it quite a lot to cut it out and adopt a style that I have come to like. I still feel pretty insecure because my hair is what makes my self-esteem. And I kind of feel like just with long hair I'm pretty and stylish, you know?
    It's been difficult >for me

    Long hair isn’t really more maintenance. From experience with both, it’s more like a trade off. Also depends on the look you want to achieve.

    I get my haircut short every year and a half.
    It's definitely more athletic for me, not a bunch of hair everywhere and more women find me more approachable. With long hair, most women seemed to be intimidated or too shy to talk with me since I looked like Jesus
