Dan Paul I think so too, there are three downsides that I deal with though: 1) you always feel like you’re in this growing out phase 2) the maintenance is significantly higher 3) my crown isn’t as dense as it use to be and that is more evident when my hair is longer.
@@EricBandholz Do you subscribe to the beard-hair ratio? I think I saw a GQ article that mentioned about how, if having both long hair and beard, they have to be in some kind of ratio to 'look good'. Ofcourse that's all fashion speak. Although I will say from personal experience. with a thick and/or long beard, it tends to look better with the hair pulled back in a ponytail/manbun. But it all comes down to grooming and the individual I suppose.
@@alexanderc7213 Na, I do what I want and recommend people do what they want. If you wanna grow for attractiveness, then your strategy will be different than if you want to grow for your own reason.
Definately have beard and hair envy. I work as a barber and it's nice to see someone who knows how to manage themselves, especially when it comes to the beard.
Hey Greg, at the end of your hair journey you should dye your hair fully dark brown to see what it would look like before you cut it off. I know you temporarily put a product in it to see what it would look like, but it didn't look natural, it felt like it was just a dye. You guys should make a video where you get your hair died permanently and then cut it off in stages, showing various hairstyles in the process. Would you consider doing this Greg?
I never bothered much with grooming myself but I have this past year. I feel much more confident in myself over all as I think I look good and even have people complimenting me regularly :) I went from always clean shaven with short hair to a fresh hair cut and a long beard, now im rocking a super short beard with nice lines and long slicked back hair :)
Well never been high maintence but I got an amazing new job and the best part is it’s cool in summer warm in winter so I now have long hair n longish beard with the dredded curls/waves I struggle badly with them but I’m learning a lot from this channel and a few others so thank you guys.
Always good to mess around with the routine on days where you don't need to be presentable. That way you know the best tricks to looking sharp when you need to.
Agree with longer hair needing to be washed less often (something I read about how shampooing often removes essential oils), and can vouch for going to bed with wet hair and waking up where it looks fine and manageable. However, the only issue I've been having is, whenever I put my hair in a ponytail, and then take it out of the ponytail, I have this obvious dent in my hair and the only recourse is to dampen it to straighten it out.
Looking fantastic! I started growing my hair out last year and the response has been surprisingly positive. You have really shown how you can still look sharp with long hair. Thanks for the inspiration Greg.
Question for Greg- how long have you been growing out your hair? Have you gotten any trims in the growing out process? I’m growing out my hair as well- 7 months in. Just wondering if you have any tips
You make me feel great about going grey :) I wish I had the patience to grow my hair that long though :( I never no what to do about eating food with my beard getting longer I swear I eat a mouthful of beard and food every bite lol
Great tips for a quick relaxed look. I’ve never even considered using a curling iron on my beard. I just assumed they were too hot. Very interesting. Keep growing. :)
My last full haircut was a bald fade at the beginning of July a year ago. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yEMRAZYd-hY.html Hard trim in March.
I actually much prefer the before, with the center part. My hair is about 1 1/2 inch away from that length and it’s the exact style I’m going for. Always handsome tho Greg
Great video GB! Any advice for someone who is in the process of growing out their hair? How to handle the "awkward phase"? That is, the in between phase of growing it out. Thanks!
We didn't design it for beards, but I know a lot of guys like to use it on their beards. It'll make your beard coarser and more volume/texture. Personally, I prefer to make my beard softer, but to each their own. :) -Eric
It seems the end of 2019 is starting to show signs of beard led grooming advice becoming less searched. Clean shaven now seems to be back en vogue along with the moustache and stubble combo. Just an observation. Definitely a slow down in views for these channels.
Greg your looking awesome man look like zeus, How long does it take you for your hair to grow?, and how to manage your hair and treat it and handle the awkward stages for growing your hair and work out videos etc I like your beard videos as well Keep up great videos and beardbrand keep up great videos
Thanks for the video. My hair looks very similar to yours rite now length and thickness. I however toss and turn when I sleep and wake up looking like a Sasquatch! I'm getting a few negative comments here and there. What's up with your hair? I just respond with chicks dig it! I have never had long hair so it's a battle with different shampoos, conditioners and products. I've even tried making my own sea salt, grapeseed oil spray (ehh). Thanks for your videos!
What does the tattoo say on your left bicep? Is it written in Hebrew? I'm a low maintenance guy, I have a bald head, and rock a beard, but I never let it go to long.
I’ve always wanted my hair the length that yours is here, but I never have the patience to grow it out. 3-4 months in I always give up and cut it. Oddly enough I have no problem growing my beard. It grows the length of my neck within 3-4 months.
I look like a criminal I've been told or skinhead Beard is getting there, thinking of changing my style some people don't lock their doors when I walk by them
Hey Greg !! Are you planning to cut it off at the end of the journey? Please!! Don't !!! You have an awesome hair !! It is unique !! Looking great as allways!! Regards from Argentina!!!
