Living in a mostly white town I get a lot of people telling me I should just grow out an Afro, with them having no clue the amount of time and effort it takes to properly grow and maintain one. Like no thanks I’ll stick to my locs
I hear that too everytime i start a new class or job 😆 you should think it would stop by now because off all the different styles you see now, but sadly not
I think this changes a lot based on your hair type. For me with 4c, twists and box braids last a long time, they’re not really high maintenance. For me to rock a fro, I would be having to stretch out my hair every couple days which would be a lot of work. Other people with a looser hair texture could keep the volume on their fro with less work.
Put your hair up if it’s long enough it instantly takes the homeless look away I promise I’ve been offered food plenty of times while I walked to work😂

Hey man i just wanted to say i really appreciate the wide variety of hairstyles you mentioned in the video, theres not a whole lot of self care videos for black men, and a lot of the ones that DO exist are really surface level, i've NEVER seen this type of video mention freeform locs before,(i've been letting my hair lock up for about 6 months now!!), and the clips you showed of people with freeform locs were of people who are important in the loc community (zayloc23, DOMI boy, even Bamskelly in the thumbnail), i know it's a pretty small thing but most "looksmaxxing" content looks, feels, and sounds the same. So to me that just shows a greater attention to detail than basically any other looksmaxxing video ive ever seen, it also shows that youre ACTUALLY of our culture and black cause most "looksmaxxing videos for black men" aren't BY black men, and that doesnt make a whole lot of sense. So again, i just wanted to say i appreciate you and keep up the good work!! Youre making great stuff!!

If you know how to do finger coils, they can take about maybe 45 minutes, and they can really last you for about two weeks if you do them correctly. There’s a learning curve with finger coils. Finger coils are my go-to style whenever I want my hair to have more shrinkage and look a bit more controlled.
What length are we talking here? I've seen someone prpfessionally get finger coils done on maybe 5 inch long hair and it took like 2 hours. Also it looks ass so there's no point in getting em
@@BroMaxxing I’m not sure about the length but I think my hair is about 4 inches the first time I tried them (it took forever to do). I didn’t start doing them on a regular basis until my hair got past my ears because I don’t like the feeling of hair touching my ears. I found that if the finger coils are smaller and aren’t as tight, they come out looking like really well defined curls. I’ve seen a lot of Brazilian guys style their hair that way.
@@BroMaxxingmy hair is almost shoulder length and it takes me about 45 minutes to a hour to do them and they last 2 weeks or sometimes they’ll still look fresh for the entire month
@@BroMaxxingmy hair like Bruno mars, down to my chin. It takes max an hour, but for people with type 4 hair I assume it takes much longer cause it’s thicker and more tangled.
You gotta move bald up to at least B, especially if its a balding man and not just somebody who want a bald head. If i miss more than 2 days without a shave I look like George Jefferson.
this is a great list, ngl people think low maintenance is SUPER easy but it just means that it is EASY COMPARED to the OTHER hairstyles (for example being bald ain't easy as you have to shave often but it is 100x easier than something like finger coils or waves)
@@Mrstireastany hairstyle that takes an hour of maintenance a day is high maintenance. 1 hour minimum to maintain your hairstyle is a lot, and I'm not even factoring in hair cuts.
I had dreads throughout my entire 20's the front came down to my waist and the back to my butt, when I turn 30 I cut them, not necessarily because I was tired of them but because it seem like they just started to disappear in the front and back! It's weird because my hair wasn't falling out (no receding hairline) 🤔 in fact when I cut them I literally had a mini bush! Which was by far the *HARDEST* style to maintain and grow 😩 every morning it took almost a hr to get right and then you had to be careful constantly checking on it throughout the day!
As a 28-year-old white guy who has your most generic basic shortcut white dude haircut who doesn’t touch it at all. (Literally all I do is wash my hair and get it cut maybe every month and a half) This has been so eye-opening!!!
If I was black, I definitely would have one of the hairstyles in the low maintenance group except for wicks. My favorite is second from the right on the C (low) tier. Michael B Jordan has good hairstyle too.
Long curls are so hard, man. I currently have 10-12 in hair, and i have a cut scheduled next week. My 3c curls look great, but my life is getting a bit too busy, and i want to take on some new hobbies. Says a lot that i want to cut my hair just so i can free up some time and get rid of some stress, lol
I find having long curly hair easy to maintain, but not everyone has easy going schedules. I'd say it takes me about 10 minutes to pick and comb it out in the shower and then shake my hair to define my curls. After all that i let it air dry and go about my day
You don’t always have a clean cut with waves but you always gotta make sure they are laid. Most people don’t understand that waves are only laid down curls. Other than that maintenance is easy I would put that like B tier at most
I have a nice big afro. And i love it but there are definitely days when im like "fuck it would be so simpler if i had a shorter hair style" but then I remember all the compliments I've gotten from my afro and just stick with it
Accurate on most of these, as a person who tried a lot these styles smh once once its long enough unless you really are good at doing your own hair or have a dedicated stylist that knows what do with your hair (preferably a family member or friend) it is so tedious to do anything but get it braided consistently and most likely its not worth doing anything but put it in cornrows bc taking down anything else is tedious and annoying.
Nah I had waves with 4c. It’s not really hard to brush and pomade everyday. Once they come in, all you have to do is wear a doo rag, not wearing one is the only way they’ll mess up
I’ve had Freeform dreads for the past 9 years definitely low maintenance all I have to do is wash it every dread I have is a congo I couldn’t separate or retwist my hair if I wanted to😂 the only drawback is new growth my shit wild. Started getting twist and plats tryna leave them in to get dreads I eventually gave up took them out washed it and left it alone I started with my dreads barley below my eyes now they towards my lower back the amount of maintenance I’ve done since then is basically none🤷🏿♂️
I have pretty sharp face features my face is the the rectangle one ,I think, but not that much if u get me(I’m lightskin too) what hairstyle should I get cos I currently got mid/long length curls with low taper but I wanna try sum different?
Locs are low maintenance no matter how you deal with them. I go for a retwist and a style maybe every 8-10 weeks. Also where did you hear people with Freeform’s don’t wash their hair? That’s very false in fact water helping the free forming process
Feel like locs should be lower you just clean them every week-ish get a retwist every 2 months and vibe and after a certain length you dont even need to get cuts regularly
@nicolas-t3h what hair type do you have? Whenever I've washed them they literally disappeared. I think they only last for tighter hair textures but even then they still take way too long to get done
lol even on TH-cam they use Assan photo (a French tiktoker) he is angry because in the hairstyle videos for black people there is always his head in the afro category it has become the same and he laughs about it so he won't be mad if you use his photo so it's chill
bro you can have twists in for a month or two and by the time you said they get old or big, you do a twist out which basically looks like locs so having to go salon every month or so aint even that deep
With all due respect waves has to be higher if you want prestine waves atleast 4 hours minmum of total brushing daily then you add moisturizing and washing every other day i mean thorough washing due to the amount of oils and ,moisturizers anybody who have waves knows what it feels its not a oh ill dedicate weekends no its every damn day
I had 180 and 360 waves, had boxed braids, and now have 540 waves, waves are its definitely S tier, its CONSTANT brushing if you want elite waves, and that months to even have ripples in your hair starting from bald. Even the casual guy that has not so good waves will have to put in work to even see something. It’s like the quintessential high maintenance haircut for black men. I think boxed braids are like B tier and also dreads, because both are protective hairstyles. You aren’t supposed to touch your hair. That right there is a contradiction in my opinion.
Thats facts I knew I might've underestimated waves because I've never had them before I just see people always having to brush them for it to look good. You also might be right about box braids but for locs it's high maintenance IF you want them to look really clean which I specified in the vide. I said they can be low if you're not getting haircuts and retwists often but maybe I'm wrong. Locs are also not a protective style and I don't understand where the contradiction is.
Plats is the proper term I don’t think the men version counts as box braids, but they r not high maintenance they last long as fuck, been having that since I was a teen. Locs not high maintenance at all, neither is a fro. Long curls r probably the most annoying to maintain.
Living in a mostly white town I get a lot of people telling me I should just grow out an Afro, with them having no clue the amount of time and effort it takes to properly grow and maintain one. Like no thanks I’ll stick to my locs
I hear that too everytime i start a new class or job 😆 you should think it would stop by now because off all the different styles you see now, but sadly not
Yes, picking my afro out every day or every other day can get annoying
I think this changes a lot based on your hair type.
For me with 4c, twists and box braids last a long time, they’re not really high maintenance.
For me to rock a fro, I would be having to stretch out my hair every couple days which would be a lot of work. Other people with a looser hair texture could keep the volume on their fro with less work.
Also humidity, and weather. If you get an afro wet you gotta start combing immediately, it's a massive pain.

i wouldnt call it shaming. after all its on maintenance not look. People with the style would know best how difficult/easy it is to maintain.
