Throughout the day, you know with little things, so i get where you're coming from, if you're one of those guys - and i hope this video can help you out. First of all, let me go through why i cut my hair. What was the number one reason why i decided to cut it, so the main reason i cut it guys is because it was actually interfering with with something that is very important. That is my sleep. So when it comes to sleeping guys when you have that long hair, there's there's certain things that you do not realize become a a big deal for you, uh when you have that long hair and one of those things for me was the sleeping part because one, My hair was so long when you slept with it, you would roll over and it would yank and pull your hair pull your neck back. That would wake me up in the middle of the night, because i'm not just one that just sleeps in like a log, you know so it would. It would like fall out and fall down and and and get in your face and tickle your face and stuff. Like that, so it would always wake me up. My hair was consistently waking me up in the middle of the night and it was. It was really taking a hit on my sleep, so i couldn't sleep anymore. It was really interfering with that and sleep is very important to me, because you know i'm consistently in the gym trying to trying to prioritize my sleep to uh. You know get the best benefits of of recovery and stuff, so the hair was just driving me nuts. Man when it came to sleep - and i i just got sick of it, so i just decided you know what i want to cut it off. I'M tired of it - and i just want something - that's going to be a little bit easier for me to manage throughout the day and something that's just easier to wash that kind of thing, and i tried a lot of different things to kind of remedy the the Sleep problem guys, i tried putting up in a very loose bun, but that ended up not working out because it would still fall out tickle your face, that kind of thing to mention it's very uncomfortable: to have your hair up for that long throughout the day, if You'Re, if you're having it up, if you have it up in a bun all day, and then you have it up in a bun while you're sleeping it's just not it's not the best uh the best thing for you, especially with with uh. You know pulling that much tension on your hair all the time. There are other various reasons. That'S why i cut it as well man, it's just you know you you like to switch it up, that kind of thing that i've always been that kind of person where i switch up. My hairstyle try different things, so you know i grew it out for four years and i really wanted to switch it up and another thing that really drive me to cut. It again is hair products guys, and that is one of the main things that this channel has always been based upon, is pommy reviews and products and stuff hair products, especially and uh. I missed using them man, so that was another big factor for me to cut my hair, as i missed actually using pomades and and paste clays uh and blow drying my hair to style, like i missed that aspect of of um, of having short hair. Also, being a barber probably does not help with the fact that you're always seeing clean haircuts every day in your profession and you're like man, that's a cool hairstyle, you know, and it makes you kind of want that kind of that hairstyle or whatever it is that You'Re seeing so that was also a thing that played into me cutting my hair because um the the reviews, man, i miss doing the palmy reviews. I miss sewing my hair with actual pomade. You know um no oil based pomades, which are my favorite favorite, hair, product and uh. You know it was just i just felt like it was time it was just time to actually to chop it off, and i always thought you know what, if i regret it that bad hey, i can grow it out again. You know growing out. Your hair is actually a journey, it's not just about the way it looks, but it's actually teaching you patience. It'S it's kind of humbling in a way to to grow out your hair, because i don't know it's something. That'S so small, and so my new that you wouldn't think would but it does. It makes you appreciate different things, about different hairstyles and, and what you can you know utilize that hairstyle for so cutting the hair was, i wouldn't say it was too difficult for me and when i knew that i needed to cut it was. I was consistently thinking about cutting it, so if you're, one of those guys right now has long hair - and you are just consistently thinking about it - i mean for weeks on end which, for me it was. It was like two or more weeks. I was sitting there. Thinking um, i i want to cut it, i'm done uh. What should i do? I'M and every day that thought came in my head, where i was like i'm over it, i'm gon na cut it and it happened and it kept happening for over two weeks. I would say even like a month and a half guys. I was thinking about that, so i don't necessarily regret cutting my hair, but i do miss a few things about it and the main thing about it that i i do miss the most is the way that it looks. So i'm a big fan of the way. Long hair looks, i think it looks very, very rugged. It looks. It looks very like um, like i don't know, just just old worldly. You know like, like no viking style, medieval style native american, like folklore like it just has a different kind of vibe to it, and i like the vibe that that long hair gives off, especially if you're the kind of dude that can really pull it off. Now. I know a lot of guys can't pull off long hair. Some guys can some do it. Well, some guys just can't man and that's just it is what it is, but i feel i feel for my sake personally, i was one of those guys who actually could pull off the long hair very well and i have the hair for it so um. I do miss the way it looks on me uh, especially with with uh the way it looks with the beard and everything. So that's, probably the main thing that i miss about it guys is just the way that it actually looked on me now. I'M gon na be straight up with you. I do not miss taking care of it. I do not miss washing it. I have, i sure, as hell do not miss sleeping with it, which is the main reason i cut it. So, for me, i think the benefits of actually having shorter hair outweighed having the long hair. Now, all the reasons that i just listed off, you know were very important to me so for you, if you have, if you're a guy who has long hair - and you are struggling with this from experience - you just know when it's time to go man, you just Know that it's time right now, i think i really don't regret it as much as i thought, um. You know when you first do it. It is a shocker you're like whoa, you feel different. You look different. Everything is kind of uh, just like euphoric in a way you're like whoa. That just really happened did i really just cut off all that hair, especially for me four years of growth, man, that's a long time. You know i started growing it out when i was what 28 27 years old so uh. You know it's a good chunk of your life, where you're actually having one particular goal in hairstyles, so it was very, very humbling to actually cut it off and and realize what what you're doing so um you just know. You just know man that it's time to do it and if you are afraid to do it, you know you got to weigh out those pros and cons for yourself, but when it comes to, if it's just you're over it, i would say just do it man. It'S not that big of a deal um and if all else fails you can grow back out and it's the process. You know, but time will catch up with it and you will get it back to where you wanted it. If you do end up cutting it. Um me personally i'll probably grow it out again eventually, but for now i am really digging having the shorter hair. Also, i will say that the attention that i have been getting from women has been a totally different story from the long hair and the shorter hair. So what i've noticed personally is that the long hair makes you kind of stand out in a way now. I feel like there's a lot of guys who have grown out the hair, so it's not as prominent as it was uh. You know a year or two ago, but i do. I will say that having a long hair kind of makes you stand out, especially if you take care of it, especially if you have that hair texture that just looks cool um and like there's, there's just that. Vibe about you so having the long hair, i will say, makes you stand out from a group of guys with shorter hair, because you are you portray that you are. You know a little bit more um, more confident in a way, because you don't care what people think uh you're, also portraying that kind of rugged kind of look, especially if you dress that way as well. So i will say that the long hair thing um did make me stand out. I feel like, and it made me kind of um. I made different women gravitate towards me. I would say uh as far as as them. You know looking my way or that kind of thing i i noticed that i noticed that, like going places where i've always gone to places like the gym, you know some as soon as i cut my hair. There are women that were looking at me that have never looked my way because of the short hair. So you know it just depends on. I guess the woman's preferences and stuff like that, but i will say that i did get different looks from different women uh. As soon as i cut my short hair and with that being said guys, the main girl that i am talking to uh loves my short hair. Now now um. Now it's it's a totally totally different vibe from her because she's just just all over it. You know she loves the shorter hair. Now doesn't want me to grow it back out. She loves the way, it looks uh. So, no, it just depends, you know, depends on the girl's preferences and what she likes, i will say, having the shorter hair is a very clean cut kind of thing. It makes you look a little bit more up kept and that you take care of yourself. That kind of thing your grooming is on point so um. That is just something i think you could. You should consider as well. You know i mean i'm not gon na sit here and lie and - and i hate when guys do that when they're lying like oh, i don't do it for women, i don't do it for yeah, that's cool and all you know like do it for yourself, but You can't sit there and lie man. You know that you care about how you look to to the opposite sex. You know that any attention from a woman matters so don't sit here and lie to me and tell me that, oh it doesn't matter, it does matter, and you know you just have to accept it, and then you just have to accept that your hair plays into Your overall image, so you have to you, know, put that into consideration whether you're, whether you're thinking about cutting it or not. For me, it wasn't that big of a factor just because there were other things that were a big deal, but it's something that i will admit that i noticed as soon as i cut it off and i was like whoa. This is a different vibe from different people, so um. The social aspect when it comes to having long hair is a is something that is definitely uh, something you should consider, but overall guys, i am happy with uh the decision i made to cut my hair for a dude. Like me, you know who loves to actually style hair, who actually cuts hair for living and who loves to do you know, reviews and and use different products, try different things style that that kind of thing like it was. It was worth it for me. So um am, i am i regretful in a way you know i miss the way it looks, but i also i am very happy that i did it so i would say that i'm more on the fence of uh, i'm happy. I did it and i'm not regretful of doing it than i am that i do regret it so uh with that being said, man um. I hope this video has helped out. Maybe some of you guys who are struggling with this kind of thing in your life and you're, a longer-haired longer-haired gentleman and you're just like i don't know what to do.
