It’s felt like chewing a brick

Shave twice a week. First shave is just the neck second is everything but the stache. It’s a nice rhythm :)

Grew my hair out for 3 years and 8 months. It was soooo much work. I loved it, got to talk to all sorts of people I probably wouldn’t have. My hair built a bridge! But 45 min de tangling by hand (brushes and wide tooth combs would rip all my hair out) in the shower was no longer worth it haha.

Routine: two ish showers a week.
Shampoo and conditioned with OGX (the purple bottle), then used the Garnier Fructis avocado hair mask (my hair needed hella moisturizer lol), then air dry.

I almost always showered before bed and slept backwards on my bed, draping my hair off the end of the bed and had an oscillating fan going all night so it was a lazy man’s cold air diffusion haha.

Life is a lot simpler. Shampoo and conditioner with native products, then I use the same hair mask but the smallest little dollop and air dry.

M 25 Lost 50lbs, cut my mullet, and ran a marathon :)

Stopped self soothing with food as a coping mechanism for anxiety and depression. And fell in love with running. Also realized that I didn’t need to eat just because I was hungry.

EDIT for context: this was around a 2 year transformation. First photo was April 2024, second photos March 2026
