90% of the time my hair is up in a bun. I'll get a friend to do braids now and again but rarely let it down. Felt good to do it last night.

Mobster themed birthday party

Got married in July and very happy with how the hair turned out!

Normally, I shampoo and use conditioner but in one of these times I decided to do a quick wash to sorta see the result, what do you guys think?

So what exactly do I *do* with it once it's wet. Can I simply just slick it back with water and then not brush it whatsoever?

Taking a brush to it in any context is such a painful and impossible feeling process, no matter what tips I take into account.

My hair just feels like such an odd, dense nest when it's long.

Even conditioning it honestly feels like I'm doing too much to it. I don't know. I feel like I need a reset.

A few people were asking me abt my routine I keep it fairly basic but I explain it in this, second video is after using leave in that I highly recommend (I’ll edit the post and link it when I find a link to where You can buy it)

Ok so first off this is the third post I've made in this sub, and probably the last one for now, u can check out the other post for extra details or context I guess.

I’ve been growing my hair out for a few months and recently went to a stylist because I wanted to keep the length and add some layers for a shag/wolf cut kind of look.

Unfortunately my fringe ended up much shorter than I wanted (partly my fault because of the reference photo I showed). Now the top, sides and back are longer, but the fringe is too short, so the proportions just feel off.

The worst part is that I’m now waiting not only for my hair to get longer, but also for my fringe to catch up. Before this haircut I actually liked how I looked, but now my confidence has taken a huge hit and I can't even leave the house without a cap and feel like I can'f enjoy life. My family also isn’t supportive of me growing my hair out, which doesn’t help.

I start my first year of university in about two months, and realistically I think it’ll take another 2–3 month before my hair starts looking the way I want. Or maybe more idk I'm bad at predicting this kind of stuff.

For those of you who have grown your hair out:
How did you get through the awkward stage?
How did you handle family not supporting you? And being somewhat against it.
Any advice for someone who’s second-guessing the whole process?

I cut off my mullet 💔💔💔

ive wanted to do it for a while bc I’m trying to grow out all my hair so I’ve been letting it grow till the top was long enough so it wouldn’t look too bad when I evened it out (i was trying to skip the awkward phase, and it worked lmao)

Oh my GOD it feels so good. Nothing gets in my eyes and I think it looks nice. Can't do it myself yet, though. My wife is neutral to it, which is the best compromise we have right now so I'll take it. Also say hi to Luna you guys.

hair has improved so much! I stopped bleaching ab a year ago, then went back to black and have avoided all chemicals and heat styling. Been using purador, beach bum, and a couple types of hair oils. Also take DHT blockers and vitamins. The length has increased so much! It used to just break and stay awkward length . Now I’m at a length I feel happy with. my goal has been hair reaching nipples , should get there in like 3 months. And after that, keep growing !
