My New Skin Fade Haircut & Why I'm NOT Growing My Hair Out Again

[@keefey45]

Thanks, dude. I needed this. I started growing my hair out 44 months ago (at the time I was looking for a new "project" since I had decided to stop coloring it green after 2 years) and your content was my main inspiration and information resource. I'm cutting it all off today and even though it was 100% my choice, I'm still a little anxious about it. I love my hair and loved growing it out and anyone seeing your video or this comment shouldn't stop if they want to keep going. My decision was made a few days ago and now that I'm only a few hours away my feet are getting a little cold. But seeing an unexpected update from you on my KZbin front page with hair shorter than what mine is about to be has given me strength and reassurance at the perfect time. Thank you, Thomas, for taking me (and so many others) with you on your journey so that I didn't have to do it alone. You look great.

[@thomasinaction]

I'm sure you ended up looking fresh as fuck. What kind of style did you go for in the end? Thanks so much for the prop! means a lot.

[@LukeSeeleygamertagisV3XChintzy]

You're a true long hair veteran, you've gone full circle and posted all about your journey... thank you

[@thomasinaction]

My pleasure and thank you for consistently coming to watch!

[@graysenm1320]

Welcome back man. And as someone who lives in the southern USA, I really expected people to make fun of my long hair (2 years growth) but when I say nobody has given me anything but complements, I mean it. Totally worth the journey.

[@Jacques1675]

That's awesome man, I've been growing my hair out for nearly 2 years and people have been comparing me to footballers (or as they say in the US, soccer) and it's a vibe.

[@thomasinaction]

That's the stuff I love to hear! How awesoe for you. Glad you're loving it and I'm so stoked I was able to help add a bit of inspo to the journey for you.

[@killerwhale8690]

Finally you're back. I do not care if you have long hair, short hair, bald, or even just wigs. I still love you because many of your videos about long hair, especially curly long hair, totally help me to care my curly long hair. Love from Indonesia

[@thomasinaction]

Thanks Man! I'm making a trip to Bali in September! Indo is the best.Thanks for supporting the channel. Means a lot.

[@ensiel4738]

Had long hair for the longest time too but recently got a cut and went back to my short spikey hair haha! Having long hair was cool, made me feel better about myself and just overall gave me so much identity in my circle. It was a difficult choice to make but ultimately, I realized that I only liked how it looked and felt when it was tied up or in a man ban. I absolutely hated it when it was just untied and free-flowing. Thanks to a cowlick in a weird spot, my hair doesn't have nice "direction" like other people. It was extremely irritating when my hair would get in my face every time I had to bend down. My long hair would just look horrible and out of place, not having any direction, style and not complimenting my face whatsoever. I wanted it to look good untied but it just never was without any styling products or blow-drying which I didn't always have time for. Now my head is lighter, my face is no longer irritated and I just fit with so much more styles now. I no longer spend an eternity washing and drying my hair, and cleaning all the strands that fall around the house. I haven't looked back since and just happy knowing that I was able to experience growing my hair out. It was a good experience but it's become more of an inconvenience for me in the long run.

[@johncenax]

ok

[@TravWhiteStyle]

Here for the vibe, not the hair 💪

[@thomasinaction]

That’s it 😉

[@csestini]

I'm still growing mine out since June 2020. I have thick, curly hair so it grows really slow, but I'm sticking with it. It's been a little over 2 years and it's finally getting close to my shoulders and I can finally tie it up in a bun. I love how it looks on me. I never felt comfortable with short hair but now with long hair I can do so much more with it. If I want to let it down I let it down and if I want it up and can tie it up. This channel helped me through so much of the awkward phase and I learned how to care for and style it. I don't think I'll ever have short hair again unless I go bald.

[@solob8619]

If it does go bald there is hair products that prevents balding and grows your hair back. I love to see you want to keep your hair long I'm trying to grow my hair long and dounwerd like Michale Jackson.

Im in construction. Hair is finally to my chin and can tuck it out of my face. All the guys used to say stuff like hippy. They all grow huge gnarly beards which i can't. But i do have thick curly hair. And they are all bald 😂

[@alessandriraphaeldelacruz3699]

[@thomasinaction]

Cheers Kendrck! Is the does the uni require you to have short hair to study there? I find that extremely odd for this day and age... As for my long hair, I think it was just time for a new look and it certainly served me well.

Could you let us know how you get your hair to get flat like that? I have hair like yours, but even when it's short it grows up and out at the length you have. Also, why is it so expensive to maintain at your current length? What products are you using to style? With our hair type, I've found that it's hard to manage whether short or long. So more hair tips on any length are welcome, especially as your short hair here looks incredible! Show us how to do the same!

Wow….I literally thought something bad had happened to you! And I will say up front, I miss your long hair! (Or versions thereof) This is not in anyway a shame comment, but I thought your long hair journey was a great one. I do hope you find that yearning again. You inspired me to keep my long hair, but with more attention to using products to look better. Also congrats on the promotion! I do understand about trying to keep up creative content, when you are busy otherwise. My art and music keep me to where I can’t even think about doing KZbin yet, but I have been wanting to do it for some time. Seems like your new position has you pretty wrecked at the end of the day. Do find balance with this. And know that those of us who are true followers will still be here. ❤️❤️

[@josephbone7648]

I don’t think I could even cut mine mine that short again. If I did, I agree I would never grow it out again (well maybe, idk). I started 2015 when I got sick and was in hospital and transitional physical therapy after. I just stopped cutting it, the top didn’t bother me at all, the sides were horrid, because my hair is so thick. I did an under cut for years and years, and it grew very long when I was sick and surgeries in 2018/2019, I actually had an appointment to shave the undercut the week we closed down for Covid pandemic. I used this as a chance tk just grow the sides out, it was hard for like 6 months, couldn’t put it all up and just itchy, then it all grew and I cut it myself, I had bleached on ends from prior color, so I cit all color out and it looked great and was all even, texturized it, cut into it, and 2 years later when I went for a cut, my stylist said my hair was so healthy (I wasn’t using heat, air dried and no flat iron, because I wasn’t going anywhere.) she was surprised when I said I cut 6/8 inches off and I was expecting her to say I needed at least that much more off and she said you really only need 1/2 inch. I went with 2/3 inches, layered a little, very subtle, then she talked me into Brazilian blowout, best decision ever, it literally changed my already straight hair, but VERY, Very frizzy, especially if I blew dry it, and it became exactly how I always wanted then I decided to color, I wasn’t icy platinum blonde (on my super dark hair, and she achieved it with 125/150 foils, it was ombré Skype done balayage style where it just melted all together. I let it grow to 25+ inches maybe more, then decided for warmer weather I wanted another blowout and cut 6 inches and did more long layers and a nice masculine ish face frame. I was nervous how the color would turn out, but the ombré part was 1/2 cut off, but layering it actually make the icy platinum MUCH more visible, I love the evolution of hair. I like to see how it changes without doing much. Once a year I do Brazilian blowout, 2 times a year a trim (I’m going to try for 4 this year), and maybe a color in summer agsin but lighter this time, but a lot less. Next month I’m doing a silver/ashy toner myself!! (Since it’s temporary I’m not nervous, and I don’t really like the all over sane color, I like all the different shades), sorry for long comment, just sharing my hair experience with someone I think really appreciates hair and people who try new things. I did all of this because I loved it. I have many people including family members that hate it, but I’m the only opinion that matters!!
