When Does Hair Grow DOWN Instead of OUT?!?! - Mens Hair Growth Problems

- Ever wondered when your hair is finally going to start growing down instead of out????
Yeah, samr, I used to wonder that too.
The short answer is yes. It will grow down eventually even if you have afro hair, I mean, look at Gio’s Wave for god sake. I mean he has really REALLY long hair but you get the idea right.
For me personally it took around about 12 - 13 months to really see a difference in the outwardness vs the downwardness of my hair growth.
The worst thing though was thinking the whole time that my hair was just never going to look good because it suddenly becomes really hard to visualise the end goal due to the physical appearance of the hair during the more awkward stages.
It’s almost like looking at a half made puzzle and the picture is clear until a certain amount of pieces are in place. You know what I mean?
Anyway, I’m not sure how many of you actually struggle with this but I wanted to leave this video here for you just in case any of you really needed the reassurance haha.

This is exactly what I needed to hear because I’m fed up of looking like a mushroom..
You shall be called *Mushroom man*
😂😂😂 I look mad
I feel you
Mushroom gang 😎
@@jfkwentafk123 lol
spot on. i'm having the same problem now. awkward stage is the worst for curly hair
@Daniel Siller straight hair is more easyable to tie
I'm on that awkward stage too and yea cury hairy really be the worst when your growing your hair . And the sides are like a animal of there own .
I currently just started using products for hair and it helped a little but yea there still a monster up there.
But at least you can get more volume.
@Daniel Siller you can half tie 10 month hair
I'm 5 months since a haircut (had a 2 on the sides, scissors on top/fringe last cut) I'm currently somewhere in between Krusty the clown and an Oompa Loompa. Stay Strong lads. This is our year to power through it.
It’s all about weight.. the longer it gets, the heavier it gets and the weight pulls it down. That’s why you see people who have curly hair but the longer their hair gets, the more straight and wavy it gets because gravity makes the curls drop
Ohhh good point
Interesting... I was wondering my curls were getting loose. Once I trimmed my hair & put a little heat to it, my curl pattern changed. Now I notice it changed because my hair got heavier.
im the opposite lol my hair is beginning to curl
We 0
ohhh wait that makes sense
The most annoying part about growing out my hair right now is my friend asking me every week “when are you gonna get a haircut?” “Danggg you need a haircut” like damn bro it’s my hair not urs lmaoo
Fr lmao. When are people gonna stop being so concerned with our hair
So when are you getting a hair cut lol 😂
bro he is just jealous of your nice hair :)
LMAO, So relatable
Yes.
The awkward stage for curly/wavy hair is like having the “karen” haircut. I have a wavy hair and im on my 4th month of growing it out w/o cutting it. The sides are already covering half my ear but the front and top is like the “karen” hairstyle lol. That’s why i mostly wear cap/beanies now. Annoying af 😂
I swear bro🤦🏽♂️🤣
no bc same 😭
4 months from what type of haircut?
@@Matt-wj3zy i cut my own hair since pandemic and stopped last oct. last cut was #3 on the sides and #5 on top.
Fr 😂😂
I'm facing this issue rn. It's been like 6 months since I'm growing. I've your hair type. And currently I've a hair style that looks like I've been shocked electricity like those old movies.
I’m 8 months in and look like ms. Incredible
@@lilkeith4133 somehow that makes me feel good
@@ladybugcoraline6453 what about now?
@@mohamedkhider6998 cut my hair off. It's really hot where I'm from. And hair wasn't looking as good as I thought. So said good bye
@@ladybugcoraline6453 sad😢
Thanks for this video, I’m at just over 4 months of growth from where I was (long front, faded sides) and the sides/general fluff has always been my issue in the past whenever growing it out. I tend to come back and watch some videos on your channel whenever I’m having a tough day and contemplate cutting it.
Thanks for the upload, this is something that has discouraged me from growing my hair out for years now. Now I hav the confidence to actually keep going. Love the vids, keep up the good work!!
Been growing out my hair for 8 months now. Your channel has really helped me to not chop it off in the awkward stage!
16 months?
I’m faceing into that mushrooms head style too but I’ve been ingloring it and not caring at all I’m trying too let grow all da way threw my for head for slick back I use too shave but got sick off it now I’m 31 and trying grow it
my mom want me to cut it she said that my hair is not even growing down and i told her it's normal
hows it going now
I discover your channel less than a week ago and as a no-native english speaker I found fascinating the adjectives you use (also your content is very useful)
This is actually a really good topic to discuss. I recently had a nameless thought about it somewhere in the back of my head, but you've given it a name and posted this video, so thank you for that.
Thank you very much, I'm having the same problem and was wondering the same question! Best hair growing motivation TH-camr, hang in there hair growers!
Yes! That’s exactly what I’m going through. Good to know it does go down eventually lol. Thank you!
Just found your videos and this is exactly what I wonder myself! First time ever growing my hair out and 9 months into it and still trying to figure out how best to manage the same hair type as yourself.
Just started following Man Buns and Manes few weeks back ...I'm 7 months in from a buzz cut..hope to get featured in it soon 😁..love your work...keep growing strong💪🏼
I thought this was an only me thing, I had no idea it was actually a widespread issue…
This gave me hope, time to get my long hair back! I kept cutting it off because of this… now I know all I need is perseverance.
Love your channel, can't wait for my hair to grow long. I'm on my 4th month of growing my hair out❤️
This video came in at the exact perfect time in my hair growth journey. Crazy! Thank you!
My hair looks exactly like your hair looks in that video you showed from before and you’ve just given me hope
But volume is a good thing, not a bad thing.
To start with, then it’s hell
Yh but I kinda look like I have an afro
st n That’s what curly hair usually looks like at medium length, but it still is possible to convert an Afro into curls.
Trust me friend... When you have tooooooo much volume... You're gonna watch this again
Idk
The zest is radiating off this vid sm
Zest??? Haha
man, we have the same problem. im trying to be patient tho, thanks for the video. I hope that day will come soon where my hair starts to grow downward haha.
Im 13 months of growth everywhere and its growing down
I grew my hair out for 7 months after watching your channel. I have dry and curly hair. Finally it got to me. Yes. Mine are poofy too, and I cut them. Myself. (I always cut my hair myself, but not when they’re this long). Cut them an inch. Now they look ridiculous. Different lengths at all spots. I regret it now. Gone back maybe 3 months
I’ve tried growing out my hair several times but I always get to the awkward stage and quit, but this time I’m sticking with it!! I have Robert Plant in my mind as the goal lol.
might as well learn stairway then in the mean time
How’s it looking now
Ya boy wants to kno how it's lookin g
@@sethantoniorodriguez9190 he quit
Thank heavens! I couldn't find anything on this anywhere, and thought I was the only one. Let's go!
I’m in the growing out journey right now. Mines never grown out😂. Always gone down. Guess I’m lucky ?🤷♂️. Keep up with the awesome videos
I’ve been growing my hair out for about 3 and a half years but now I’ve only started growing my sides and I’ve been wondering when it will go down so this video helped me a lot thanks
I’m 10 months in and my hair still looks like Doc Brown from Back to the Future 😢
Ever since I started growing my hair, this has been my most frequent question, thank you for this ! (Colombian subscriber right here)
Thanks for the video. Gives me hope for the future of my hair growth
Well explained mate.
Love your locks of hair , your demeanour
My hair is freakin frizzy i look like einstein and mc donald at the same time
Keratin treatement is the key
I cutted my hair just yesterday,i had enough with the breakage and the horrible awkward stage,it was unhealthy hair,im trying since 3 years to grow it out and whenever it reaches awkward-stage,it always fail,it become frizzy as hell and dull...
Hopefully it'll be different this time
The thing about curly hair is that it changes so much depending how you deal with it...
layers can help avoid the bulk in the sides, and avoid it looking to much like a triangle, also brushing it gently and letting it dry stretched can give some length to loose curl patterns (3a-3b)
how do i let it dry stretched?
@@crankheart I wet it with a stray bottle or after I get out of a shower, brush it back and the hair holds straight or stretched for awhile till it starts to naturally dry which it curls back up again. If you put styling putty first and sea salt second while it's still damp but not soaking wet and style it the way you want it to hold you can get your style to hold for 6+ hours. I'm 10 months in and I have poofy curly hair when dry that is growing sideways.
In my 5th month of growth. I have very curly and thick hair that become very frizzy and out of control easily.
When i comb the hair: BAAM! It get's super fluffy and get's to big. Hair just points upwards if i comb it backwards. Look like a mad professor or smth.
A good trick i use is that i put light hold styling lotion in my hair after i shower with shampoo. I rub A LOT of it into all the hair so i consume a lot of hair lotion i might add. But it's worth it! I do like a backslick because the weight of the lotion weighs the hair down while also giving it shape and shine. The curls will have no choice but to form into nice presentable curls that way instead of being frizzy and fluffy.
Wax however only makes it worse for me and gel makes it feel weird when it hardens. Lotion is light enough but still can tame the fluffy beast.
Lighthold lotion is the answer for my curly hair. It actually looks half decent while growing.
I use this product: American Crew Style Light Hold Texture Lotion.
Will probably keep using the lotion for the continuation of growing the hair out or at least for as long as it works.
We can do this guys!!!
It's just what happens for people with curly hair. It takes awhile but it will eventually grown down instead of out. Mine does that too. I've been growing for 2 months now. It's still in the growing out phase.
Hey Thomas!! Love your channel and ManBunns and Manes group. Although, I think you can help me with this question. How much did the Keratin treatment help with frizz and softing your hair? Though about trying it out when I would get about 8/9 months but still not sure. If you could answer, I would be very much appreciated. Keep with your great content!
My hair is at that awkward stage where the back curls out and strands poke out, thanks for the advice
My problem is a salon lady cut the front too short from the rest because of how tangled it was. I get now how to treat my hair but the damage has already been done. The front is so fucking short it drives me crazy. The back is done but the front is just short I need advice on what to do. Anytime I comb my hair I can see the scalp because the front is so dam short. I have that hair style and it is the best when wet. Your hair is goals bro!
I have been asking this question for years. It just grows like a dome. I shaved the sides but the top of my head is getting longer. Also, it is still not growing down.
How does it look now bro ?
@@samimeghazi5030 finally growing down a little bit, but had to have a barber trim top a tad.
@@AzraelDreambox any news now?
Thanks, Thomas. This was an excellent video to watch. It’s helped renew my motivation in growing my hair because I’m in that awkward stage, and my hair is really challenging to manage.
Im on probably the 8th try to grow my hair down, the previous 7 tries ended in the awkward stage of looking wild as hell. I got fed up and cut it, but im as far as Ive ever gotten now and this video is definitely helping me push through!
Man, me too! This is my 3rd try to get long hair and I'm actually on month 6 almost 7 so I kinda hate it right now but I hope i can do it, hope you achieve it too! Good luck.
Gents I’m like 3.5 months in - how y’all feeling? 😅
@@PabloHernandez-hx5bn already on seven months, actually on a hard stage, i can barely comb it so it doesn't look so messy but I'm close to 8 so hope in some time it looks better
@@cosmicboy603 Mine is so close to greatness but still weird lol
@@rangerriggs5066 i justo need to wait some more, I'm sure I will get yo the year
Are you still using on the leave in behave cream? Or have you changed your routine? Either way would love to see an updated hair care vid
Dude i like your hair man you got some nice hair.
I've been growing my hair for the last 3 month and damn does it not look like it. I have very curly coarse hair and it doesn't show its length due to the curls. I will keep riding the wave and see where that gets me, because I have an end goal in mind and I'm sure if I give it time I will get to the stage I want.
Pro tip to my fellow curly hair bros. As soon as you get in the shower, wash your face then immediately rinse your face and rinse your hair in the direction you want it to mostly flow. (Front to back for me, so i rinse my hair from my forehead and crane my head back so the water flows towards the nape of my neck.) After you rinse and while rinsing shake your hair moderately to get the soak out.
After this, dont touch your hair. Or get it wet at all. Finish your shower as normal just protect your hair. After showering dont touch your hair. Once its hard to the touch either rock the fro or put on a hat gently and let your curls squeeze out from under it naturally. Girls go crazy especially for any curls around your ears.
Thanks man, you give me hope!
I have straight fine hair my hair grows straight down. I usually use a round brush to give my middle part some movement but I started embracing my natural hair now
1 year since I started growing it, started going down now. The only issue is when it reaches your ears. Then it looks kinda stupid because it's puffy around your ears. Then it's all clear after that.
Easy answer when its heavy enough to be effected by gravity.
My hair looks like Albert Einstein with curls, I'm still very early in growing it out and its gonna get worse, but this video definitely made me feel relieved that it just takes time.
Mine is too flat. I only get 3” of volume and it flops over to the wrong side/in the middle down to only 2”. And I’m having trouble teasing it out.
Awkward stage is weird for me because I have coke licks and so one side of my hair lays down pretty and the other side is just messy and goes outwards, it’s down to my neck, about an inch from my shoulders so hopefully I won’t be in the awkward phase too much longer
For very curly hair it even take longer cause the hair structure basically put most of its weight and mass at the roots
So, patience. I just donated my wavy/curly 13” ponytail, and man I am back to the awkward stage. FML 😅. My tricks were a good beanie, hat, and pins for the sides. After 1.5 years, it starts to work for you.
Until your not allowed to wear a beanie :c
You essentially just spent three minutes to tell me to wait patiently...
Sir I have some queeies that the man bun is in treand all over the time or not. Love u from India sir 🇮🇳🇮🇳😘😘
Love your videos im a member on the Facebook page
My hair tends to curl when it gets to a certain length and become uncontrollable, so will I be able to grow long hair?
I want to know. What should i do if I want my hair to stay out. Like, very big and round hairstile
Have had long hair all my life. Growing out again and still think it won’t grow down. I actually don’t remember if it did!
At a certain point it does.
i always wanted to grow my hair long but i thought it was going to form into an afro the way it was growing, so i always cut it at that awkward stage but i stuck it out and now i got some 80s hair metal shit going on LOL
But you done keratin treatment to your hair, right ?
yes he's done before but keratin is not permantly straightening hair , it stays like 1 or 2 mounths and i think thomas using flat iron
@@metehanyldz9995 it remains like that for 4 months.
yes i do have a keratin treatment, once maybe twice a year, it is not a permanent treatment though
I spent most of my 20s in the military and have just found out I have really thick and curly hair when it grows out a bit (a month or two). It's also really strong and course (I've used biotin and collegen shampoo and conditioner most of my life). I dont know what to do with it now. I try tutorials and different products. Blow dryers and brushes. I guess I'll just wait it out until it is long enough for me to do more than a curly pompadour
You look like jake from brooklynn99
Lmao, I wanted to ask this question but didn't know how to phrase it, the only bit that goes down is the back
I love your channel bro 🙏
My ends always look raggedy and never stay together. Like the left side curls up and the right side curls up and as my hair goes longer my ends kinda just look like a rat tail and my top hair won’t seem to be growing longer to meet with my ends
Literally me now. ~6 months now and it's growing outwards. Hopefully it starts growing downwards soon.
Just did a video on 23 months and it’s finally growing down lol
Should one use leave in conditioner coconut oil every single day to grow hair out because my boyfriend is trying to grow his hair out and he has the same curly wavy hair that you have hes been growing it after 7 months. So or should he just wash his hair with shampoo and conditioner once every week?
Only asking cause my Bf is going for the " 70s Feathered Look ☺
Goin thru this issue rn 9 months in to growin it, stickin with it though
Murrays original pomade will get you through the phase when it's no heavy enough to fall down and instead grows "outward". FYI, it's kind of hard to wash out.
Literally was asking myself this question today! Mine is so poofy and thick and wavy 😩 .. still growing strong though! I want that flowwww
Me too my friend
That’s me too dude
My dad has amazing flow with the curls on the end, I want that, yet when I grow mine out it just goes all frizzy and all over the place
How does it look now?
I’ve been growing my hair out for 8 months now but it’s EXTREMELY curly. People literally think I have a perm. The curls are super tight. This is so annoying because it’s been 8 months and yet my hair has absolutely no length to it. And university opens soon and I’ll have to see to patients. I’m so annoyed because I now have no option but to cut my 8 months of growth. I have no idea if my hair type would ever actually grow down instead of out like an Afro.
exact same situation for me 😂 did you end up growing it out?
It took me nearly 20 months for it to grown down. A trick I used was to tie my hair in a standard ponytail early in the morning for a few hours and very slightly dampen it with barely wet hands each hour. Once you release the ponytail it hangs down much better and a bit straighter too.
What is your hair type??
@@samimeghazi5030 thick and curly
Do you have long hair now

My hair reduced falling out after I did these things. I used homemade hair masks like avocado and yogurt. I avoided brushing my hair when it was wet to prevent it from breakage. Once a week, I massaged my scalp with hair oil. I cleansed my hair once or twice a week with liitllleextra cocoonnnion shampoo.
I’ve been growing out my hair for a year now and naturally I have an Afro
It’s puffy frizzy wavy and curly
Throughout this year with all the ironing and blow drying
_and hundreds of hair products_
It goes semi down
Unless I don’t put a bunch of products in it, iron it, and blow dry it
It’s still naturally an Afro :/
So this really helps me not look like a bald eagle nest
Did it end up going down?
@@ha5541 it’s uuh
It goes down but it’s broken a few combs-
It’s also still really puffy
Yes I have the same problem too. My hair is wavy but I don’t know when does it stop to grow up
My hair is curly, 6 inches, and standing right out stronger that a lost soldier in the heart of the storm.
i actually dont mind about the awkward stage, but if i grow my hair longer , the longer it gets the hair damaged more, how to deal with it :(
My hair grows straight out then hangs down when it gets too heavy but it’s still poofed out pretty far😂 it’s so thick idk how to get it to lay down
Currently in month 6 of growing my hair out, being patient, I'm in the awkward stage right now. Getting all sorts of funny comments
But once it's passed your shoulders or the moment your able to do a low ponytail your hair will finally be easy to manage you just gotta wait
1:18 Except it was growing down. I watched those videos and it looked like it was going further down.
Nice hairstyle bro but I don't know my hair growth journey starting I think 7 months had been completed but my hair curly it is of outward stage right
Hi Thomas, I have a question, I have frizzy/curly hair when I get out of the shower and I always desire a soft silky texture, I have been growing my hair for about 8 months now to the point where it touches the bottom of my nose and I use a straightener every second wash or so but I don't know what to do to achieve straight hair after the shower without damaging my hair or using too much heat, what should I do?
Keratin treatment is very good. Search for Thomas video about it, it might help you ☺️
@@rodolfo8416 I have seen his video and looked it up but Idk if it will keep my hair smooth or if it will wear off in the future
It wear's off after some time, the straightness that it gets, but the smoothness stays for quite a while I think
I also have curly hair, I found enzymotherapy treatment twice a years to be the solution. It has worked for me a lot better than keratin.
I grew my frizzy bob out and finalllly have down length past shoulders 🙌
My hair is now several feet long, but I worry about cutting it. Will the straightened out parts nearer the scalp curl again?
i haven't got a haircut for almost a year and idk when it'll go down it's just keeps going out and I don't know any good hair styles so it's always messing plz help
Fun fact in the always stage after a shower and when my hair is wet when I comb it with a thick comb hairs stick out everywhere but when it's dry it looks nice it's just when it's wet it looks ugly 🤣
Opposite for me 😂
this is awesome can you do a hair tutorial of Bon Jovis Hair in the 80s :)
stay tuned :)
@@thomasinaction you're the best! :)
Hell yeah!🤘🏻
I’m on month 9 and I’ve been looking for some answers and I’m finally getting results. I have thick curly wavy hair so my hair is starting to fry less fro-ier and more down
I’m on month 10, it starting to seem like it wants to go down, but it still very curly and messy!
I had medium/long hair and went to go get a maintenance trim but my barber did a madness but imma let it grow long again
Its a massive problem for me too but this is nice to see
Should I wash my hair daily? And should I use shampoo? Should I wear Bandanas?
thx for the hope
A little over a year in and yeah the frizz and thickness right now is just not fun lol.
seems like you're the only person who doesn't want out out out out out
