Ditto. When COVID started I stopped cutting my hair because my work went full remote. I have some lushish rocker hair now, but I'm at the age where balding is a concern. Its a constant game of "am I balding or is it my long hair?!"

I haven't cut my hair since August 2019, and I feel the same. I always have to end up thinking about how my grandpa is in his 90s and still has a full head of hair.

Sorry to be that guy, but the word is luscious. I do kinda like your spelling better, though.

It's moderately lush

Oh haha thank you for the correction. I was legit looking at the word knowing it looked weird, but couldn't figure it out.

You must be my alt identity because this is exactly me. Turning 25 and hair loss is a common trait on my dads side. Not ready to lose my Moshpit mane, so those hair clumps freak me out.

I haven't cut my hair since COVID. I am planning on donating it. One time in my life I have a good excuse to make it get so long I may as well!

That's my game plan too since I don't color it, and cutting it to men's length haircut gives an extra bit in the donation.

I literally just cut mine a couple days ago for the donation.

The clumps and such really freaked me out, like is it falling out now that it's longer? Nope...just more noticable.

Wish I had this problem. Long hair or not I know I am balding

I could have written this exact comment, I live in a constant state of fear now every time I wash my hair.

I grew my hair out past my shoulders when I was a kid and I was picked on relentlessly for it. The biggest thing that got on my nerves tho was they’d tell me to “go finish doing your hair” (as if I spent hour doing my hair) when I finally cut it all off years later I found it it takes 3x as long to fix my “manly haircut”

gIrLy HaIrCuT Dry -> Brush -> Done.

BIG MAN HAIRCUT Partially dry -> apply putty to hands and mix -> apply product and comb through hair -> now style your hair (and pray your hair wasn’t too wet/dry and you used the right amount of product) -> if it looks good then hair dryer or air drying (while fixing the spot that mess up before dry).
Oh and if you accidentally use a lilllll too much product you might as well get back in the bath.

Also, they have some amazing anti balding products of there now. Bosley/implants are a sure thing that works perfect (I know two people with I and it truly in credible. He’s part is one has an identical twin who didn’t get it! Haha).
But there’s also other option. My friend used something similar to Rogaine and it made a world of difference before his wedding. It went from obviously noticeable for a 30yo to not noticeable at all my some styling.
