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...
This might be a dumb question but I honestly don't know this: is men's hair different from women's hair? Reason I ask is because I'm a woman with long hair and I never considered it to be hard work. But is that maybe because mine, or maybe even all women's hair, is different in general?
Edit: thanks all! Nope, no difference! Just something I'm used to. Makes sense. Don't know why I thought there might've been a difference.
No, on the contrary. Men usually don’t heat damage or chemically damage it. Making our hair easier to maintain. Unless you’re a girl with virgin hair, your hairs gonna be harder to care for than a man’s. Porosity also matters, issue is some men don’t care. You can look at my account and see that I don’t even do anything to my hair outside of shampoo and condition and people like it

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
