How do I get through the awkward stages of growing long hair?

Strategic trims, the right products, and patience. We'll shape your hair as it grows to minimize awkward phases. Headwear, styling techniques, and product adjustments help you look good at every stage—even the challenging ones.

How often should I wash long hair?

2-3 times per week is ideal for most men. Over-washing strips natural oils that keep long hair healthy and manageable. Always condition, and consider a leave-in treatment for added protection and softness.

Can I grow long hair if my hair is thinning?

It depends on the pattern and extent of thinning. In some cases, longer styles can create the appearance of fullness. In others, shorter cuts work better. We'll assess your hair honestly and recommend what will look best.

What Defines Longer Natural Hair?

We're talking about hair that reaches the collar or beyond—typically 6-10+ inches. But length alone isn't the goal. The best longer styles feature soft internal layering, clean perimeters, and a shape that moves naturally. It's not about growing your hair out and forgetting about it; it's about growing it out with purpose.
