What do you do with your hair?

[Caskillerlol]

I could use some advice. My parents keep insisting that I cut my hair because it's getting too long. I really dislike going to the barber since I don't like having short hair. Currently, my hair reaches my eyebrows in the front and my chin in the back. However, when it gets long, it tends to look unkempt.

I have very little knowledge about hair care—I usually just shampoo and occasionally comb it. I'm curious, what do you all do to manage your hair? Any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Longer hair would make good use of conditioner alongside shampoo. It helps soften your locks and give it a bit more life. And don’t just cover your scalp with it and rinse it, make sure you cover the ends of your hair and leave it to condition for about a minute. If your hair is getting long enough to pull back, it can be fun to style it into a ponytail or bun. However, you do need to make regular visits to a hair dresser if only to trim the split ends if you plan to grow it out longer, you don’t have to lose all of it but enough so that it doesn’t become so spread out and messy at the bottom.

Alright, first things first, get separate shampoo and conditioner. Don't use the the 2in1 stuff. It doesn't work, and is actually not all that good for you hair.

As a matter of fact, just use womens' shampoo and conditioner. Its far superior. A fact I've only learned recently.

Finally, no matter what parents say, you do NOT need to wash your hair every day. Your body already knows how to take care of its own hair.

Ever since I was a little kid, I've always shaved it all off whenever I cut my hair. It'll grow out for like 2 or 3 months, then I shave it when I start to get bedhead.

I totally understand how frustrating it can be when you're not a fan of haircuts but still want to keep your hair looking good. Since your hair reaches your eyebrows in the front and your chin in the back, you might want to try trimming it yourself just a bit to maintain the length you like.

One easy way to manage it is by using some light styling products, like a leave-in conditioner or a bit of hair serum, to keep it looking tidy without too much effort. Also, maybe try getting into the habit of combing it daily. If it feels overwhelming, start small and see what little changes you enjoy. ✂️✨

What's your usual hair routine? Maybe we can tweak it a bit to something you're comfortable with!

Too long for what? Long hair used to be a sign of virility and was prized by men.
