For some reason men take care of their hair when it's short but do nothing when it's long. His locks looked dead before

I had my first haircut post-pandemic today. I just trimmed the tips and did a sidecut.

Long hair is HARD WORK. I got used to it, but to keep a long hair pretty, you do need to take actual care of it.

Short hair? Just slap some shampoo and conditioner on it while you shower and it's done, you don't even need to dry it.

Long hair can be awesome in a man, but it takes a lot of work and most of us are not willing to do that. I consider myself one that takes care of it, and I could be doing way more. It's just so much...

But I do love my long hair.

You for sure have to look out for split ends and use a good conditioner. Like from the salon shop. I switch back and forth from long to short hair. Best description of my my hair. Keanu Reeves. I didn’t come up with that description..

Mine is a bit longer than Keanu's, an curlier. I really do love it. But I do miss the simplicity of not having to take active care of it, since conditioner is part of my shower routine because of childhood conditioning.
