What NOT To Do When Growing Your Hair Out (5 MISTAKES MEN MAKE)

[@crawfordmerk]

The key to growing your hair out is forgetting you are growing it out. If you exert every single ounce of energy to get every inch, the whole journey will take A LOT LONGER!!!

[@BlackOps78321]

Definitely good to know these things, as no one tends to talk much or teach about it. I'm a victim of buying 'all in one' shampoo & conditioners that claim to be cheap and best, but apparently they are so bad that it causes problems, because you are supposed to at least shampoo and condition separately and as needed. I do think they should have smaller amounts as well because when you find a product you like, you only really have to try it 1 to 3 times to see whether it's good or not; rather than be stuck with some bottle of junkthat cost liek 10 to 30$ you used a few times and don't like to use. Reality is clearly, that not knowing how bad it works, and trying to simplify things that should work separately, tends to cause more problems.

Let's face the facts guys. As someone who's hair is now around 14 inches long from the scalp... My awkward phase lasted for about and close to a year. It's all about how patient you can be. The best thing I did was use caffeine shampoo which did work for the first few months of my hair growth... For the first few months.

I'm currently 7 months in and let me tell you all somthing. Im not using any products that will speed up your hair grwoth the secret of growing out your hair 100% naturaly is just let it grow and be aware it might take some time. Also drinking water and such helpes a lot And use the right shampoo for your hair style myne is 50% mixed with stylish and wavy And for that a daily shampoo is highly recommeneded( not 100% strip based like 60% strip base is good!)

Two questions: when you say your hair "style" is half wavy and half "stylish", what exactly do you mean by that? If you're talking about hair types, "stylish" isn't a hair type. Are you saying half of your hair gets he y styling products put into it? The other question: how are you determining how much "strip base" is in your shampoo? How are you distinguishing between (for example) 100% and 60%?

I'm Indian so we naturally have thick wavy/curly hair. My hair has lost a little density because I went through a continuous period of stress for 7 months. I think that had to do something with it i'm not sure. There isn't a night and day difference between my hair now and what it was back then, but whenever I go through stress it thins a little. It will grow back, i've just been using texturizing products to give it more volume and fuller look till it grows back. Do you think because of my stress period my hair lost a little density? My hair is about to touch my shoulders.

Great video! Love to see science used! I had my hair cut in mid May from waist length to neck length and in the few short weeks following it's grown about 3-4 inches. My secret has always been to wash my scalp, not my hair, since the scalp is the root of healthy hair and only wash once a week or as needed. Shampoo used to wash the scalp flows through the hair during rinsing and removes an appropriate amount of dirt and oil without completely stripping the hair. I never wash the hair itself. I use a light amount of conditioner as needed and brush once a day just to style and remove shed hair.

[@moogoap6780]

Another great video Trav. It's surprising guys how your attitude towards your hair has to change in order to grow it out, it's almost as if you have to stop "thinking like a short haired guy", and become more attentive to the processes required to nurture the growth of your Mane. Once you relax into it, it becomes surprisingly easy..., just follow Travs advice, and you'll be onto a winner!

I grew out my hair for the first time in grade 8 (I cut it after two years) and it was no problem I did t even feel like cutting during the awkward stage.

Good video, Trav. I have a request for video. I have recently started using minoxidil, and it requires a clean scalp each time before the application.

[@Thadnill]

I have a problem regarding shampooing, the thing is that since my hair is so frizzy by nature, I use an oil based pomade to style it so it looks appropriate and presentable, the oil feels really conditioning and softens my hair and also gives some hold and texture. But this also means that I have to shampoo it everyday to get rid of the product. I don't think my hair feels brittle or broken, but I also don't like having to wash it everyday, but since my hair is so thick and frizzy I feel that a styling product is necessary. At least I use a moisturizing shampoo that is meant to use daily according to the brand, and I also use davines conditioner that is meant for coarse and frizzy hair, and also with my oil based pomade, maybe these 3 factors are why my hair is still soft even if i shampoo it everyday?

So I cut it all off in May 2020 and by 2021 I was in the fluffy awkward phase but by 2022 I am where I was 4 years in the first time and it's much healthier cause I've been taking care of it. It's crazy how some basic things worked so well like keeping moisture in by braiding it in the winter cause I moved from the wet California coast to the dry north dakota winters. And man has it helped doing even basic hair health. My only problem now is the top of my hair isn't as curly as the back and the sides caus ei have to have it tied back so often.
