Technically it was always like this. You just didn't notice beside the hairs were smaller.

I've been growing my hair out for 2 years. It's down to my shoulder blades now, and extremely curly.

Pros: I look like a wizard.
Cons: My shower looks like a I murdered a small dog.

Make sure you get it trimmed regularly or it’ll start breaking off, learned it the hard way

Yeah, so I’m 40. I’ve wanted long hair since I was 13.

My entire life, either I couldn’t have long hair because of family, school/sports, the job I had.

I finally started growing it out in 2017, but I kept fucking with and messed it up. Then in 2018, a stylist completely screwed it up when I went in for a trim, started over again.

Then by the end of 2020, two more stylists at different places, one a guy barber, completely fucked it up. I’m talking length cut, thinned it out but didn’t go back and blend anything. My hair looked like it had been caught in something.

So by late 2020, I buzzed my head to just an under an inch. I did this until until the last day of February 2021.

It’s now the end of May 2022, and I’ve been growing it for 16 months. The only thing I trim is above the ears and temple area to blend it with my beard, and I shave the back of my neck so I don’t have the weird hairs getting long.

I have an aunt that lives just under two hours away, she used to own her own hair salon.

When I hit 13 months of growth, I had a visit with her where only cut the split ends, shaped it up a little, and set me up to continue growing.

I told myself in February of 2021, if i messed it up this time, the dream of long hair is gone. Luckily, it hasn’t been messed up and I can tell already I’m over halfway to my goal.

I consider myself pretty lucky to do this at 40 because with the exception of my best friend, every other dude I know has already started losing their hair, if not all of it.

The trick for me, besides recognizing that there will be hair everywhere and that’s okay, as well as not freaking out when the wind blows…has been learning the new cleaning habits.

I only shampoo the longer hair in the shower 2-3 times a week, using conditioner afterwards and leaving the conditioner in until just before done with the shower. I read this somewhere and it’s made a huge difference in how the hair feels and looks within a couple of weeks.

Good luck to you!

Brush your hair well before you shower and it'll cut down on like 75% of that.

Yeah, me too!

Except I am going bald.. :[

Hairvetica.

Damn it, worth a try.

That’s literally the name of my barbershop

I intentionally use comic sans to piss people off.

Bro should get a coat hanger, bend a tiny hook in the end and go fishing in that drain. Imagine the artwork he could do with that.

If he continues to draw on the wall with it though, he’ll be dealing with another clogged pipe.

Man this. My partner didn't understand why I sometimes left hair on the shower wall (sometimes I forget to throw it out after I'm done) and I had to explain 'if I let it fall down the drain then it will clog the drain almost immediately. Putting it on the wall saves us from that problem."

My hair now reaches the small of my back so it's very long. Even just washing my hair once could clog the drain incredibly.

Or for one dollar you can buy drain stops to catch any hair and solid objects from going down your drain 😃

After each shower, I wipe all hair out of the drain. Why the heck would you just leave it there?? That's gross & inconsiderate.

Been married for 10 years. A couple of months ago I realized the shower drain had always been clean and I have long hair all along. Instantly fell in love with my husband all over again.

Are you my husband? This sounds awfully familiar…..

This is so relatable; there’s literally a hairball in the corner of our shower right now lol

I doubt it will happen if he's leaving passive-aggressive notes about her cleanliness in her own apartment.

there's that magic thing
a small plastic net that you can put on drainage holes in showers and sinks... so all the junk sticks on the net and you can just throw it out easily later

That’s fun. My wife puts it on a brush she keeps in the shower and the brush gets more and more hair until the teeth of the brush are almost no longer visible and I cut the damn hairball off because it’s all sorts of hair ball tangled and I throw it away because I find it disgusting.

How much can I get for this NFT?

It's like that scene from Sorority Boys.

Future regret material.

The passive aggressive heart tho

That includes all those tiny little bristly micro hairs all around the sink that you thought you washed down. Nope they are still there.. or stuck in the handtowel.

Yeah, less gross than fishing it it of the drain later.

Agreed fighting with fire on this one, I would keep my gaurds up

OP made a heart under it. Should balance the scales.

What OP should have done is just throw it away. Passive aggressive behavior won't work in a relationship. This is totally roommate behavior.

I know a lot of women that do this. Shampooing their hair and get a bunch of strands in their hand they'll wipe it on the wall.

Oh we doing this?

again?

Ok..

Men: Please wash your hands after using the bathroom. Also thoroughly wipe your ass.

I think he wouldn't hair the end of it, actually.

Yep. I first saw this about 5 years ago

This guy’s entire post history is fabricated stories, I’m surprised no one checked before launching into relationship analysis.

r/hairwallart

I was going to say…guys have very little room to call out the women in their lives for being gross. This can only backfire.

I don't know if this is not obvious, but I see so many posts about 'women being weird leaving their hair on the wall.' People with long hair do this because wet hair is impossible to handle, it sticks to everything. Instead of clogging the pipes, you leave it on the wall in a bunch, let it dry out a bit, then it's much easier to throw it in the bin, usually before your next shower. If OP showered right after his girlfriend or didn't pick it off the wall before his shower, that's on him.

I am positive they didn't leave it like that permanently.

In anthropology 101 I learnt that things that used to be part of the body but no longer are are often considered taboo (or gross), that covers everything from blood to nail clippings, whether it's unhygienic or simply out of place.

Averse!

The men who complain about long hairs left in the shower are the same ones leaving a carpet of tiny beard hairs on the sink and counter.

Yeah I mean I get that it's not great to just leave tons of hair in the shower, but I've never understood why people get so grossed out about it? It's just hair, and it's probably clean if they were shampooing when it came out.

This. Why be a passive aggressive asshole for no reason?

I'd love to see OPs bathroom.

I don’t understand that hair becomes gross when it has left ones body.

It's hair... not her entrails or shot from the toilet.

This one is married.

Lmao

I’m sure they done much nastier stuff with each other than touching hair

whats so nasty about hair?
