How to Grow Your Hair Out | Men's Long Hair Q&A

About this video

McGoff invites certified long hair expert Trav White to answer viewer questions about growing out men’s hair. White addresses common challenges like navigating the awkward stage, choosing starting styles, managing different hair types, and maintaining long hair in professional settings. The discussion covers practical tips on styling, shampooing frequency, product recommendations, and dealing with social pressure.

Key takeaways

• White recommends starting with a clear end goal and getting regular trims every 4-6 weeks shaped toward that goal to minimize the awkward stage, which typically lasts 6-10 months depending on hair type and curl pattern
• White argues that long hair works for most face shapes and body types; styling choices matter more than inherent characteristics, and long hair can be worn professionally with styles like a middle part low bun
• White suggests shampooing only every 5-7 days rather than daily, recommends Beardbrand as a middle-ground shampoo option, and advises using non-damaging hair ties like scrunchies instead of elastic bands
