Not trans but I'm a guy whos always had long hair. Some people just can't get over you not conforming to the way everyone else does things

Same here bro! Weirdly enough my grandma who was born in the 40s was more accepting of it than my mom lmao. Thankfully mom has accepted it now but she’s still trying to accept the beard… I’m 23…

Haven't had a hair cut in 6 years, I don't plan on getting one.

People always ask when I plan to cut my hair, some are even shocked when I say I don't want to.

It's been about that long for me. I let my wife trim it once just to get some split ends. But other than that haven't touched it. I used to have super short hair, #2 on the sides finger length on top. It's how I had my hair cut since I was a child. I wanted to try something else but needed my hair to be long enough to style it differently so I just stopped cutting it one day and told myself eventually I'd come up with a style to cut it. 2 years later and women started commenting on how much they liked it so I kept it.

Is there any way you need your hair to be cut before growing it out? I was letting it grow quite long, but it started looking silly due to the different initial lengths (longer up top, shorter on the side). In the end I got it cut and it looked way neater again.

Find a stylist you trust, tell them you want to grow your hair out. They'll help you get an initial shape, and while it's growing, it's still important to get trimmed up. It takes time, and in the middle stages can look a little messy, but it all comes together in the end.

Also remember a little bit of styling can go a long way during those awkward lengths. Sometimes it really is all in how you wear it.

Lmao I just wore a beanie every day during my awkward hair length.

I'm actually the opposite! Had my hair long for years because I was a dancer and needed it long to put it up in buns for the wig (competitive Irish Dancer, wig was a part of the deal). Years after i stopped I finally got it cut short and it's a wonder how I dealt with long hair for so long with hating it on my neck
