I’m a dude with long hair to my chest, it takes time and patience making sure you take care of your hair by brushing it and applying products that help keep the ends of your hair strong (I use leave in conditioner but this depends on your hair)

Time and genetics

I fear genetics has a LOT to do with it. My sister embraces her long hair (it’s to her lower waist), but I get trims every month or two to keep my hair shoulder length, and even now, it’s two inches below the collar bone. I know she also has a hair routine, so I can ask in the morning if you’re interested, but personally I don’t know the first thing about hair care besides keeping it clean

i love the way it looks but i literally can’t take it. every time my hairs gets like midway down my shoulder blades i have to cut it bc it’s just too much work and too overstimulating
