5 Reasons Why Having Long Hair ROCKS (Part 2 of 2)
About this video
McGoff discusses five benefits he has experienced from growing his hair out over eight months, including how longer hair can alter perceived face shape, reveal natural texture and waves, enable experimentation with different hair products and styling techniques, and improve how hats fit and look. He encourages viewers to try growing their hair out if they’re curious, framing it as a low-regret experiment.
Key takeaways
- McGoff argues that longer hairstyles can subtly change the perceived shape and silhouette of the face and head, which he finds particularly useful for narrower face shapes
- McGoff found that growing out his hair revealed natural waves and curls that weren’t visible with shorter styles, and allowed him to experiment with lighter-hold products like creams, gels, and oils
- McGoff recommends viewing longer hair as an opportunity to develop styling skills and product knowledge that will benefit overall hair understanding, even if returning to shorter styles later
- McGoff suggests that longer hair improves hat fit and appearance, particularly for those with narrower head shapes, and provides styling flexibility through options like headbands on bad hair days
