I made this video a few years ago while I was still pretty new to TH-cam. It’s long winded. Sometimes I consider making a version half as long with the same main points. Here’s the condensed version in writing if you don’t want to sit for twenty minutes. 1. A one length buzzed haircut is “round” meaning all one length. This only looks good for a short while but once the hair is long enough to stick out, bend, and move, it should be cut a little more square to avoid an awkward phase. 2. Once you’ve got a square haircut if you continue growing the top and tapering the bottom you eventually end up with a bowl cut. Stop tapering the bottom and let it all lay back. 3. If you have an undercut it might make your hair easier to live with in the short term but will cause problems in the long term as you grow it out. Once the sides are long enough to lay back it might be a better choice to lose length on top and get rid of the undercut so that the hair can all grow together in a more versatile shape- you’ll have less awkward hair this way. 4. When everything is long enough to flow back it should be very easy to live with and should always look relatively styled as long as it has a good shape to it (don’t visit the cheapest barber you can find or a fade specialist who dreads doing scissor cuts, find someone who does these cuts). The most frequent thing you’ll likely need is trimming the back as it’ll feel like you have a mullet eventually. If you’re into the mullet then leave it alone. 5. You’ve been sweeping your hair back for a year. Now your hair is long.
Amazing, I already did this kind of process with my hair. That is my second time letting it grow and I have to say that any man who is letting it grow will watch the entire video, because that is that kind of subject people are interested in
as a guy who grew his hair out since c19 this is good information. my hair is waist line now it's almost the max length. I've had my hair long enough to put in my pant pockets before. the first time i grew it out i did the undercut thing to start
This is literally EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for for MONTHS! I’ve read so many articles, watched so many “how to grow your hair out” videos and even been to multiple stylists and none of it came close to this level of detail and articulation. My god, why is this not explained in every “how to” article?? Thanks so much for posting this and how to I get you as my stylist asap?? 😂 I’m saving this video and showing it to my next stylist so they can understand 🙏
ABSOLUTELY!!! I've searched and gave up so many times for a proper explanation. All these guys are nothing 'better' rambling on about stuff like girls do. But this video right here is what we guys need!!!!!
I’m a non-professional that is growing hair out and just wanted to express thanks. This video was super digestible between the presentation structure, the whiteboard, and the example photos. I feel like I learned a lot but was never overwhelmed, never was left with an identified problem and no solution, and now I have a great resource to come back to as I hit those little stumbling blocks you mentioned and remember this video. Thank you!
I’m 33 and All my life I’ve been trying to grow long hair. I’ve always just buzzed it after a certain point because of the “awkward” stage, I just couldn’t handle that stage lol. I was always lost on what to do along the way I couldn’t just not cut it. Nice guide to hopefully finally achieve it. 💪🏽💪🏽
I just did it. Walked around like a bum for a year with a cap, didn't have to go to the office or anything and now I have a nice pony tail after 1 year and some extra months. You just need to stop caring man, just wait and let it grow.
It is NOT too long-winded! It is absolutely great. I now understand the entire process now, and am profoundly grateful. Please don't change your style!!
You attend such a "complicated" subject, cut it down to the core and illustrate it fantastically. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge in such a creative and understandable way!
although i’m more of a “not seeing a barber for a year” type of person when it comes to growing out my hair, it was very helpful, i’ve never heard anyone explaining it with this much detail. This is truly awesome, keep up the good work!
Female here growing out her buzz cut!! I wish I had found your video 6 months ago, it is so much more informative and makes complete sense (the women's video's i have found don't tell me anything helpful) I love your explanations, thank you.
This is MAGICAL. All of my concerns with growing my hair out were answered here like you read my mind. I never know there was such a logical way to cut your hair. Thank you!
Thank you for making videos that are RELEVANT! It seems like every time I have a hair related question/issue I look on TH-cam and there you are with a solution.
My own hair growth success, I myself followed this daily regimen: Take morning sunshine every day for essential vitamin D. Consume veggies of various colors. Using paraben-free and fragrance free shampoo and massaging twice a week with hair oil from litttleextra's cooconion. Important to remember that hair growth is affected by overall health as well as circulation and diet.
Vitamin D absorbed through the skin is very little, and you need hours of exposure for the whole body. Look up the studies. Better way to get it is to supplement Vit D3 in big dosages
Thank you. Very interesting description. Im trying to grow mine after a hair transplant. This has explained alot of how I have to proceed with the mission LOL
Thank you! This was brilliantly and simply put, and so helpful as someone who is growing out his hair for the first time at 50 yo, primarily because of hating the awkward phase in the past.
I grew my hair out a few years back and I’ve been missing it and wanting to grow it out again lately. I went three years with only one small trim at roughly the six month mark. It was glorious tbh. I just wore hats and suffered until I could pull it all back. The thought of going through that again has made me not want to, but I think this video just changed my mind. 🙏🏼
Dude. One of the most helpful videos I could’ve imagined. I’m right at the front hair reaching the side burn with a low tapered fade thing. PERFECT timing because I was wondering when to start growing out the sides around the ear. Would give this vid multiple likes if possible, so helpful.
I used to have long hairs and my awkward phase lasted for about 6 months (with various stages of awkwardness) but as soon as they reached around my shoulders, it looked glorious to be honest. Having long hairs is something that a lot of us men should try more often, it really makes you stand out tbh. I kinda want to let them grow again after this video haha.
Lol, just wear head stuff. Caps, hoods. I wanted it for 30 years and finally did it now at 37. You just need to dont give a fuck until you can make a bun.
Not always the best advice though if you're wanting to tie it up like a bun as you'll have the length on top but the shorter hair at back if your neck won't reach to tie with the rest. So it's best letting it all grow out equally and just trim dead ends if needed
went with the fyck it plan 3 times. beanies, tie up my hair or just power through the couple month phase. my hair is basically reaches my chest now after 2 years. just keeping it trimmed not to grow past that and figuring out slowly what to do now lmao
This is like the Grand Unified Theory of Hair for the layperson. Solid gold! I don't know if the algo considers comment length, but let me just stretch this and tell you, you are a really great teacher. I hope you get the views you deserve!
Thank you! I work in Tustin, California mostly (booked via TheYoungAmerican.com) but I also work in Nashville Tennessee once a month at Local Honey (localhoneyhair.com but I book my days there myself via IG message)
Thank you so much. Such a great video. I wanted to grow my hair out but never really knew what I was doing. For the last 3 months I've been getting a side fade and leaving the top. Which is not really helping me to grow it long
They say a good teacher takes something complicated and makes it accessible to anyone. I think they say that. Do they say that? Anyway, you totally did that. In a couple of days I have my first haircut due after I decided to grow it out. I was going to cancel and just let it grow, but now I know better. Thanks!
this was really helpful and informative. i have had long hair for 15 years, haven't had short hair since i was in my teens, soo i was curious and my hair was really damaged, so i had to start over anyway, buzzed it all off a few weeks ago and it looks really awful. i have been freaking out over this decision ever since, but now i look forward to the journey. thank you
The last tip is definitely the most important. Check if the barber actually knows how to do the hairstyle you want. I went to a barber for quite some time and I was very happy until I decided to grow my hair out. I said to him that I want to grow out my hair and that I just want the edges to get cleaned up. I ended up with an undercut and lost like 2 months of progress growing out the sides and even had to get another haircut to shorten my top hair because I looked like a clown a couple of weeks later. So not checking cost me like 3-4 months in total...
I have this exact f*cking problem right now, which is why I'm watching this video. I'm mad at the barber, but mostly at myself for being so dumb and walking into this shop that seemingly only does fades.
ty for the graduation explanation at the end, solved a problem with my hair(mainly not knowing how to get it cut) and how i can explain what i want to a hair dresser
thanks brotha, im very much a plan-minded person rather than winging it so i appreciate all the info. and i always like to mention it when someone just gets right to the info we clicked for, much appreciated. be well friend

Best video I’ve seen on this topic! I’ve struggled with the awkward phase for years and I keep giving up on it. I’m feeling confident I know what to ask for when I go in today! Thank you brother.
This is a fucking excellent video! I bet if I go to a barber they won't have a clue about this type of quality that you demonstrate. Add to that my hair is frizzy, wets easy but dries quickly too - they always cut it like everyone else's and I can see the look of horror when they try and style it cos they realise they've fucked it up. so for years I've had to do my own - but your shit is next level so I need to go this route!!
I've never watched a hair stylist's video Now I know why and regret all the years I looked horrible because "I just grew it" for years without even touching it. I wish I had run into this video like 8 years ago, really eye opening, thanks from Turkey
Words to use when you’re talking to a hair stylist and ask them if they know how to do it or could they recommend someone who does know how to work with the in between stages for front top sides and back “Hey I want to grow my hair out I want to shape it up along the way” thanks Andrew.
This video was not what I was searching for but this piques my interest. I’ve never noticed the technique behind the scissors,Thankyou for that. You earned a sub 👍
Awesome video. Question: About the front --- what about men who are thinning at the front? Where it grows so much slower and is always shorter. What's the solution, style the longer middle over the front and wait a few years for the front to finally grow? I like to cut my own hair. This long flat top is really interesting to me.
Whatever the client wants, really. But also whatever the specific head calls for- whatever is suitable. You can usually see a difference between the texture/density of the beard hair and the head hair, and once that head hair gets long enough to tuck behind the ear you can kinda treat the beard hair however you want- taper it, square it, leave it wispy, whatever the look calls for. There’s really no wrong answer. If you were to check out my Instagram account you’ll find sideburns treated in lots of different ways beneath longer sides, maybe it could inspire some ideas for your own hair
@@andrewdoeshair thanks for answering man, I just started growing my hair out about 4 months ago. Really appreciate your content, will follow on Instagram for sure!
I look like a bum with a mullet, but I just kinda squeeze some of it together and tuck it under my shirt or something. It looks way less bummy, but It’ll also probably look weird if you’re not wearing something over the shirt.
So many videos about the "awkward phase" when it isn't awkward its just growing. If you're growing it out, let it grow and embrace the different stages. What do you think women do when they grow from short to long? They're certainly not making videos like this.
Thank you for your work. I got a haircut recently because my long hair needed some care. My barber however has no idea how to do men's hairstyles so I ended up looking hideous. I'm surprised how unskilled some barbers are and how well you know your stuff.
Andrew please make an online academy i love your hair videos but I feel like you launching an olonine educational academy would be the best day of my life lol
I’m 11 months into growing my hair from a buzz with no haircuts. Still very awkward, but I figure if I made it this far, what’s another 4 or 5 months. Once I’m able to pull it all up in a few months, smooth sailing. But I wish I would have seen this video about 7 months ago 😂
I feel you. I'm at the point where the hair at the back curls out and the hair in the front wants to cover my face. I've been wearing it up in a bandana. I can almost tie it up, but it's not long enough to stay up. Just a bit longer!
omg you saved my life. I've been trying to grow out my hair since a while now but i was always getting a low taper and now my head looks like a mushroom 😂 but thanks to you i know now what haircut i must get.
Very informative, Andrew! Detailed explanation yet great work. I’m planning to grow my hair during winter months yet I needed a proper guidance. Then, your video showed up. Many thanks and keep up the great work Do you recommend growing long hair during winter months? I like to grow long hair during summer too but I workout a lot so my hair gets sweaty. Short to bald hair makes my cold showering process easy. Less water waste. What do you think?
What if i have curly dry hair and i want to let it grow like john snow hairstyle ? The akward phase looks more horrible then if you have straight hair 😅

The way he explains everything is so funny though 😂
The easiest way to get past "awkward" is to stop deciding that every little thing is "awkward". It's just less artifical and overgroomed.
Its most certainly in an akward phase lol. You look a mess and like you dont care of yourself
You are wrong

So many videos about the "awkward phase" when it isn't awkward its just growing. If you're growing it out, let it grow and embrace the different stages. What do you think women do when they grow from short to long? They're certainly not making videos like this.
Nah they get their hair trimmed, too.
Thank you for your work. I got a haircut recently because my long hair needed some care. My barber however has no idea how to do men's hairstyles so I ended up looking hideous. I'm surprised how unskilled some barbers are and how well you know your stuff.

Men I wish all barbers know what they're doing. Gone through a lot of barbers sad to say I haven't found a good one.
Andrew please make an online academy i love your hair videos but I feel like you launching an olonine educational academy would be the best day of my life lol

@@andrewdoeshair omg I'm there! you're the best
What a great video, Thankyou!
I’m 11 months into growing my hair from a buzz with no haircuts. Still very awkward, but I figure if I made it this far, what’s another 4 or 5 months. Once I’m able to pull it all up in a few months, smooth sailing. But I wish I would have seen this video about 7 months ago 😂
hows it going now?
I feel you. I'm at the point where the hair at the back curls out and the hair in the front wants to cover my face. I've been wearing it up in a bandana.
I can almost tie it up, but it's not long enough to stay up. Just a bit longer!
omg you saved my life. I've been trying to grow out my hair since a while now but i was always getting a low taper and now my head looks like a mushroom 😂 but thanks to you i know now what haircut i must get.
Very informative, Andrew! Detailed explanation yet great work. I’m planning to grow my hair during winter months yet I needed a proper guidance. Then, your video showed up. Many thanks and keep up the great work
Do you recommend growing long hair during winter months?
I like to grow long hair during summer too but I workout a lot so my hair gets sweaty. Short to bald hair makes my cold showering process easy. Less water waste.
What do you think?
My hairs down to my chin, near my middle of my neck. I'm planning on to keep growing it down to my shoulders
i always laugh about these hair videos when the creator wears a hat in the opening shot :D

@@andrewdoeshair I didn't watch either videos 😅😂😂
Good video. Would you recommend anyone who can do medium-long hair in London?
Thanks 😁
What if i have curly dry hair and i want to let it grow like john snow hairstyle ? The akward phase looks more horrible then if you have straight hair 😅
Same here, I think we'll just have to use a styling product to tame the awkward stage.
Awesome tips, Andrew!
Well said
Very helpful as a barber thx man
Alrighty! Now I have buzzcut grow out plan. This was really informative and helpful. Thank you. 👍🏻
