Only grown men who keep long hair had it their whole lives and so its easier to manage because the hair is trained

also men aren't suppose to spend too much time on their looks or overall appearance, yall nikkaz trying to be high maintenance like a damn woman
nobody got time for this shyt, and going to the barbershop for the fresh cut is just apart of the culture

Truth be told my dreads have actually been less maintenance than when I had a low cut. Outside of washing and the occasional maintenance twist I don't have to do anything

:coffee: No, y'all just cut it off so no texture shows.


Not true at all people hair texture does not change because its short
also or styles have always been vast.

Breh I wanted my jawn to have a full blown fro with twists, but for some weird reason my shyt has peas:mjcry:. Plus I have waves. Its like my hair is wild bi polar to be trying to do the most besides getting a cut.

Thats my hair time. The first 6 month could have you looking homeless.

Get a fade, dont ever let them touch the top. Moisturize every day. Wash it 1- 2x a week. You could also comb it regularly but thats a hassle. Rock the naps on some Idris shyt. Keep the side low and the top full. This negro didnt spend more than 5 mins on his hair a day.

Because once you get to 30 stops it growing nikka :damn:
I'm 36 and my hair still growing lovely. I could rock a huge fro if I wanted to!

:blessed:

Sucks about y'all. I just choose to rock the fade with teh caesar cause I'm still addicted to brushing my hair to get those waves tight all the time.

It's because it's easier to "manage" :dame:

Also because of what women are attracted to. Unless you have a good hairline and a certain overall look :dame:women won't be choosing unless you keep it low.
Yup.

I remember one time I was at a temp job and I started Monday, didn't have a haircut or anything. Hair wasn't crazy long but I was due. I got a haircut that evening.

Next day the female manager pulls up like "Hey" I'm like hey. She's like "Is this your first day ?"

I'm like uhhh, I was here yesterday. I think I even said "umm you hired me" lol

Anyway she goes on like "noo noo I would've remembered you"

So yea I guess what I'm saying is a haircut can take you from invisible to on the radar and that’s why I keep my hair low.
