=== Frequently Asked Questions ===\r
\r
Even though I love replying to your comments, I see a lot of questions that are being repeated, so I decided to use this space here to answer a few of them.\r
\r
Q: How long did it take until you were able to tie your hair up?\r
A: It took me about 1 year until I was able to do a little hair bun and another 6-8 months for a proper ponytail.\r
\r
Q: Did you ever trim your hair?\r
A: While I was making this video I trimmed my hair just once (about a year and a half after I started growing it). Ive trimmed it again in November new (but thats not in the video -it will be in the next one!)\r
I usually trim my beard every 3-4 months.\r
\r
Q: How do you wash/take care of your hair?\r
A: For the first two years, I used to use regular shampoo and comb it as often as possible. Later, I found out that using shampoo every day can ually damage your hair and scalp.\r
After trying out a lot of things, I came up with a routine of shampooing my hair twice every week with shampoos that contain as little chemicals as possible. I also condition my hair right after I shampoo it. Im also taking multivitamins and I try to eat enough protein every day. Ive also started using beard oils for my beard and mustache. \r
\r
Q: What did you do/What should I do during the awkward stage?\r
A: Hats! ..and patience.\r
\r
Q: Are you still growing your hair?\r
A: Yes! And Im not planning on stopping any time soon.\r
\r
Q: Why does the background keep changing?\r
A: Im from Cyprus, but I study in the UK. The room with the Evanescence door is my bedroom in Cyprus and the one with the Fight Club poster is my room in England.\r
\r
Q: What software did you use to make the video?\r
A: I used Adobe Premiere Pro, but I think that you would be able to have the same results with a more basic and easy-to-use software.\r
\r
Q: Are you Jesus?\r
A: Yes.\r
\r
GENERAL NOTE: I am not a hair expert (or whatever they are called). Im simply telling you what I did to grow my hair! These tips are based on my personal experience and might not work for you.\r
