My hair (I'm female, by the way) is around the level of my shoulder blades. I couldn't imagine it being any shorter; it's always been my ambition to grow it long enough to sit on, but it doesn't grow all that fast and at nearly 70 years old I probably won't live to see it..! But hey, I can dream 💇♀

@@TestGearJunkie.Mines close to my hips and I'm pretty sure it's not going to get much longer, even though I'd like it to be. It's just too damaged, I think. I also couldn't imagine my hair shorter than just below my shoulders. When I was 8, I had a bob (my choice at the time, I thought it was a good idea) and hated it within a few days and since then, have refused to even consider getting my hair cut to above my shoulders. I have been tempted to cut it to just below shoulder length to see if I can get it in better condition, but haven't decided to do it yet. I am in my early 20s, so it should have a decent amount of time to grow if I do it.

Hi wig makers! I have a couple questions if you'd be willing to help me out. My husband is growing out his hair to make a wig for me. My hair has been thinning since I was 20. I'm in my early 30's now and one day a year and a half ago, I was feeling particularly self conscious, and my husband said he'd grow his hair out to make a wig in case my hair gets any worse. It was so sweet, and he's been growing his hair ever since. It's about shoulder blade length now. I know it's getting a bit old for him taking care of long hair but he keeps insisting he wants it to be as long as I want it to be. How many inches should we grow it longer than the actual length we want? Also, I've done research since then and read that you need multiple heads of hair to make a wig. If I were to cut mine a similar length would that somehow work? (I'm sure we'll need more than just that too but mine is just probably the easiest next source for us to find.) Mine is very fine and thin and his is very very thick and he has these gorgeous natural ringlets (not fair!). I would probably need to find hair similar to his in texture to make it work right? Also, I understand getting a wig made is very expensive. Is it feasible for a diy or do you know of any places I could potentially go to get it done? Any tips on storing/caring for his hair until we can get one made etc? Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated!! ❤

Pleats(a single or twin pleats/braids should be treated genderless & aw ages stylin'), hair care products minus fossil fuel derived ingredients(ma hair got less oily, as quickly, so went fae a daily wash te a weekly), cover heid/hair te keep dirt oot/aff it, boar bristle brushes(helps distribute natural & clean oils doon the hairshaft, aye, shaft,,,mind oot the gutter)& those beard combs(basically vikin' combs)help(i find plastic combs & brushes areny the greatest hing, they're better fir shorter length long-ish hair, I find). Either way, long hair is a personal choice. Dae whitever is comfiest. Personally, i prefer long hair 😹 it's like an auld pal. This year, sleepin' is better wi' a silk nightcap & silk pillowslip(but, wi' cotton underside, so it doesny skyte aboot). Mibbe soonds fancy, but, it jus' reduces friction & stuff. Modern fashion is usually detrimental, as it always wants long hair te be loose, an' that's nae guid. Pleats/braids exist in every culture in humanity, as far as i'm aware. It shouldny be limited te wee girls, like the media usually pushes(which, is gender stereotype't & well, possibly racist) It seems men that grow long hair, I've noticed, go through phases of gettin' it really long, gettin' frustrated by it aw, complainin' aboot it, loppin' it aff, regrowin' it, like Groundhog Day 😹 sometimes i hink wimmin keep long hair, usually cause gender stereotypes & usually sharin' info/knowledge mair.

After getting rid of it, it was so nice not to have the feeling of extra weight on my head (which I was unaware of until it was gone), not to mention no longer finding hair everywhere - like in food at home. I used to go to a great barber in Cheltenham who did a combined haircut, hot towel shave, ear/nose burning and scalp/shoulder massage with a choice of single malts - tragically did not survive the lockdown.

My hair now doesn't grow very long and it's really REALLY thin on top so I just shave it every week or so. but cutting my hair was the thing I regret the most, I miss it so much.

I don't think I'll ever feel better about my lack of hair (I'm over the event, just not the effects of the event), It was the main think I felt like was hassle free customisation, and I feel like I'm forced to shave it, else it looks shit. Like I maybe overweight, but through Exercise, Diet, and Will power, I can get into a better shape, (and with ADHD I've not found that easy yet), but expensive medical procedures seem to be the only way to fix a lack of hair. Meh. It is what it is.

(and the subconscious movements afterwards where you're trying to move the ghost hair!) Since then, I've accidentally grown it out to waist-length again, so due for another big chop soon to get it to shoulder-blade length (and hopefully before it gets so long I can wipe my butt with my hair...).

I've been growing my hair since the 90's, for as long as I've been allowed to decide. When I was still a kid my parents didn't let me grow it really long, any time it grew over my shoulders it was time for a cut, and I had a fringe too. I was probably 14 when I grew the horrible fringe out, and 15 when I've last had my hair cut by anyone. So 25 years ago. Even the thought of having any hairdresser touch my hair makes me anxious, it's worse than going to the dentist 😂 My hair's pretty much always plaited though, so it stays off my face, doesn't pull my scalp, doesn't get tangled, and I only need to open and brush it just before a hairwash. Very easy, no plans to cut it anytime soon.

I like this shorter haircut on you. You have a face with low visual weight (meaning one's focus is naturally drawn to the lower part of your face) and long hair, when loose, adds more weight to that area (draws focus down). The shorter hair balances you out - both by the gravity defying fringe that draws attention, but also just by your hair having more volume on top since it's no longer lying flat to your head due to the weight. It looks good on you.

As a man with long hair and working from the title only so no idea if it's a topic addressed here... but I'd give my experience from a dating point of view. I've had long hair when younger then short hair for years then long hair again from lockdown. The first thing about having long hair is that it's going to be a deal breaker for a lot of women and types of women, except when a viking TV show gets big, then you'll have a brief period of every woman being more open to it. So yeah that's the first thing be aware if you're single, you're shrinking your dating pool massively. On the flip side if your type is punk, rock, metal, or goth girls don't worry at all, a lack of long hair is a deal breaker for some of them.

I never really thought of long hair as a sensory nightmare, but now that I think of it... But for me, short hair is even worse of a sensory nightmare because I can never get it tied up and off my skin. My mom loves short hair and I grew up with a boyish haircut, I was only allowed to grow my hair at 12 and I never went back. She keeps pressuring me to cut it (I usually don't get away with it for more than a year) so we converge to a shorter length usually. But it bothers me so much before it's long enough to not fall forward or to stay in the ponytail...

Same! I actually prefer a shorter cut on me visually, but the nightmare of having it in my face all the time makes me regret it every time I've cut it - right now I'm waiting for it to get long enough that I can finally get it in a ponytail again.

The church's architecture was so lovely I had to look it up. It's called the Cathedral of the Nativity of the Most Holy Mother of God and the Holy Royal Martyrs. It's basically a cathedral belonging to the denomination called Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia (which is a distinct and semi-autonomous part of the Russian Orthodx Church).

11:55 - it's a zebra crossing, I must admit as a driver of 15 years I miss them all the time - maybe the shields are so that drivers see the lights better and can respond if someone wants to cross?
@ericathefae3 ай бұрын
Wait, you miss them?! You're supposed to pay attention when you're driving, mate. If you "miss" zebra crossings, you are not paying proper attention. It's your responsibility as a driver to notice crossing, regardless of lights or not, and slow down and double tjek that there are no pedestrians that are about to cross.

It is interesting to hear about things from the other side, of having too much hair. I have had for a while, parts of my head where I have bald patches and it causes me anxiety. I have been thinking recently to embrace it, rather then the fear control.

I started growing my hair long in 91 or 92(highschool), and I decided to cut it short again maybe 2001 or 2002. the last straw for me was waking up in the middle of the night needing to piss, and not being able to get up because my girlfriend was laying on my hair. as in I couldn't lift my head up at all, and I was basically trapped. only until like my brain started working, once I realized what was going on I was able to slowly work my hair out from underneath her by pulling on it. but yeah I went that weekend, and the hairdresser was like are you sure? it's really long. but I've never looked back, I usually grow it out a little for the winter, but if I ever get the urge to reach back as if to smooth it for a ponytail, that's when I know it's time to chop it back again.

I chopped off my hair during covid but i found everything but the buzzcut more challenging than long hair. Now im back at long hair and i really enjoy being able to put it in a ponytail or bun and just having it out of my face as opposed to the short hair. I also dont have to wash it as often (although that was very quick with the short hair but i have an easily irritated scalp) and only cut it once a year. So i find this completely opposite opinion quite funny

I got tired of haircuts so about 25 years ago I just stopped getting my hair cut. Long hair is extremely low maintenance. Brush it when you get up, stick a pony band on it, forget it. Never going back to the tyranny of thinking about hair.

Heh, no grey hair, eh Evan? Well, my hair was not grey either, 4 years ago. Then I went and entered (and completed) literally the most stressful educational experience I've ever had, DURING A GLOBAL PANDEMIC (and given the education was health-care related, I spent 16 months in hospital practicum placements, about half of which was during the delta/omicron peak of Covid - initially they were like, "nope, students don't get to work on people who for sure have Covid"* but that changed real quick, as honestly, SO MANY PEOPLE HAD IT), and now the grey is strong with me. Mostly just the regions around the ears, plus my sideburns and facial hair, but the main scalp hair has quite a few strands that are looking a little melanin-deprived. I am tempted to grow it out though, just to enjoy my hair fully, before it is entirely grey (and/or I start to lose it, although fortunately, though my hair is not as thick and luscious as it used to be, my hairline itself is not receding). Actually though, I've always wanted to be one of those older gentlemen who are rocking the grey ponytail...like distinguished philosophers, and hippies often do. I always thought it looked good (although I doubt many people share my opinion). But I've got a few years of greying to go, before that finally becomes a possibility. *People who _might_ have Covid were always allowed.

I understand the sensory overload. As soon as I cut my long hair it was such a relief.
@lindenbug5 ай бұрын
Interesting to hear your thoughts. It’s definitely weird to think about why either long hair or short hair feels more “you.” Whether that’s a gender expression thing or how people perceive you or just the sensory stuff… I also have very thick hair that I know looks lovely when it’s long , and sometimes I think about growing it out again. But I grew up with it like that and always dreamed of cutting it. When I finally did, I donated 17 inches! Briefly during the pandemic I started letting it go, but then I got fed up after about 6 months and learned to cut it myself. I still do!

I'm a guy with hair going down to my mid-back. I used to hate having hair this long until I started using bonnets at night and scrunchies during the day. I also got into the habit of brushing it every day and using leave-in conditioner after I showered and washed my hair. My hair no longer strangles me at night and it doesn't get in my mouth during the day. Brushing it every day and using the product has also minimized hair coming out and getting in my food/drain etc. I also use a hair catcher for my shower drain but that is more for body and beard hair than anything. I'm not saying this because I think anyone can have and maintain long hair but I hope these suggestions can help some people with the struggle. It's more work than many people realize. Edit: Never underestimate the power of a good conditioner.

I was born and brought up about 1/2 a mile from Chiswick high street (Acton Green) and looking at your video it just reminds me of how much the area has changed since I lived there in the 60's and 70's. I know the public toilets on the green you were on have been closed for donkey's years, but when I was a kid, what is now Sainsburys, used to be the Whitbread brewery. I take it the John Bull is still there opposite Gunnersbury station?

For me, short hair that's also stylish pretty much means having to use product and waking up earlier to style it. I'd rather deal with the hassle of having long hair. If/when I cut my hair off, when I'm old enough (or old-looking enough) to completely stop caring about how I look, I'll probably just go bald.

My grandma had fine mousey hair (not a good hair family... my blonde fine hair got wet and I'd look bald) she paid a lot of money for nun's hair wig back in the day when chemo made her bald... my husband had good strong thick hair like yours with a wave and his mum always worried if it grew over his collar so he had it trimmed. He asked me if I minded if he grew it after his mum passed away and I said go for it, it's your hair, you're lucky to have the option at your age (50+)! Lol... and he did and it was thicker and more luxurious than mine and he didn't have grey hairs either! It's nice guys can do what they want... nowadays a lot go for bald, even youngish guys. As a lady in my type of work I don't think I can do that, wish I could, but I don't have head shape/ears are too big. I wish Turkish barber would just let me have a trim, I don't want chat.

I'm a guy and I've got similar hair length to what you had (had a couple inches taken off around new year) but still long - did the whole growing during lockdown thing - I have always wanted to try long hair. The thing you said about the hair in your mouth made me laugh; it is so true! You brush the hair from the left side of your face and it is still in your mouth...you then conclude it is from the right side of your face. Sometimes you still can't find it and it is a hair from the back or side! Quite sad to see you cut the long locks but short hair suits you too. You can pull off any style with fair hair like yours. I've been thinking about cutting mine off recently but I am still at the stage where I think I will completely regret it because I don't think I will be motivated to put another 2-3 years of my life into growing it again. I think once I cut it short; it will remain short for the rest of my life. The awkward stage was a pain in the arse! That is why lockdown growing was so handy!
