- Well, hello guys and welcome back
for another hair growth check-in.
So, if you're brand-new here,
you are looking at
approximately one point five years worth
of hair growth on my head
and my name's Thomas
and I make style and hair related videos every single week.
Every month, I do a check-in like this
to check in about my hair, what's new with it,
et cetera, et cetera.
Now, for the guys that have already been here before,
we're going to be doing some cool stuff today.
I've actually performed a measurement on the hair again,
'cause last check-in, I was kind of like, ahh.
I didn't even bother really lining the hair out
and seeing how long it actually is.
So, I've gone and done that for you.
But we're also going to be checking out
and having a bit of a reflection
on my whole hair growth journey,
from when I started it, a year and a half ago,
to where it is now,
because I think it's really important to go
and reflect on those things
because all those different stages,
they've kind of built me up to where my hair is now
and I just thought it'd be really interesting
to sit down and reflect on that with you guys today.
We're also gonna be covering
just different things I've been doing with my hair
and yeah, just other cool things that are going on
in my world.
So, if that's your thing, make sure you hang around.
Let's get into it.
(whooshing)
(fanfare)
(whooshing)
So, in terms of hair growth,
I've been very slack on that front,
but Kim and I just did film us measuring the hair
and my hair is now measuring in at 14.5 inches
on the bottom part, which is super long
and if we look at the time period, a year and five months,
it does sort of reflect an inch of growth, roughly,
over each month which is great.
Super fast.
And yeah, so we're sitting at 14.5 inches.
The last time I did actually measure,
I checked in at 11.2 inches,
so since the last actual measurement I did,
I've grown three point three inches, so,
if that's any consolation, there you go, now you know.
(laughing)
So, yeah and then now it's time
to sort of get into the reflection
and I don't think we're going to be going through
every single stage that I've done up until this point,
but just the main ones.
So definitely the beginning to see what my hair looked like
and then going just through the stages.
I remember there was a few in there
that I was really like arrgh,
I can't wait to cut my hair off,
and I just want to get rid of it.
I'm just so glad I didn't now but,
let's grab the laptop and we'll flip over there
and we will go and have a look
at some of the previous check-ins.
Alright, so if we flick on over to my screen
and have a look at my gorgeous channel,
make sure you subscribe
we'll head over on into the playlist
because what I've been doing
is adding all of these check-ins into the playlist,
just so anybody that is growing their hair out
can go back to any stage that they want to
and, sort of, check it out.
So, if we scroll down a little bit,
where are all my playlists?
Hair growth journey for guys.
Labelled very appropriately
and I've actually labelled in on all of them, as well,
like the order in which I went through with it
so, the video I've got on the screen right now
is actually me at stage one.
(laughing)
Look how short it is.
I can't actually believe these ends,
that I've got right now,
they, just like, from this,
this still image at the front,
the ends that you're seeing on my hair
right there,
are exactly these ends that
you're seeing here, which
(sniggering)
look how long it is.
It's crazy.
For anybody that's joined just recently as well,
I did go from a disconnected undercut,
so I always had like a little bit of length on the top,
but I always kept the sides short
and I remember, in the process of putting these
videos together in the beginning, I was like
maybe I'll just document the whole process,
the whole way along
and this is where I was at first, so.
Let's look at this.
- Every single week here on YouTube
(computer dinging)
Alright so many of you guys
have been asking me to document my growing out process,
- Yeah. There you go.
- Ever since I mentioned it, a month and half ago,
I think it was that I was growing it out,
so here I am today, making it happen.
- I think in the beginning stages, as well,
at stage one, I wasn't really too fussed
about what was going on with my hair at the time,
because it still looked, I could still make it look smart
without it being big and boofy.
What else?
I don't think there's,
I don't think we need to cover,
like everything that's in here
but it's just, I'm mainly wanting to do this
just so I could have a look at what I looked like.
(laughing)
Oh, here we go.
In month two, I labelled the video with like,
I hate it.
So, I must have been having a bad time.
- And then, you look at my head
and it's like what the fuck, babe.
Hey guys and welcome back to my channel.
My name's-
- Holy moly!
If you actually like look at the,
the difference in the hair length,
between like month one and month two,
I had like a hectic amount of growth there.
My hair must have just been like
quick, we've got to sort this out.
And now looking at this, I'm like
oh my god.
I can't believe I at least
thought I looked a little bit normal.
- You are brand new here and in today's video,
I'm just going to be documenting my growing out process.
I do a lot of hair related content here on this
- Yeah, blah blah, we know that!
- The sides here, which that's actually really good
growth, when I think about it,
because I only started growing my hair-
- Look how puffy it is!
It's so ugly.
Who else is in stage two right now,
cause like, I remember that
being one of the worst ones that I had.
Like look at these shots.
I took it out and did a little bit of a measurement.
I don't think I was actually measuring it
on the ruler at this time, either.
- I am guessing, I actually haven't measured it
but I'm guessing that this about 13 inches now and.
- Wow.
- Lately, it's just because, I'm a busy fucking boy, okay?
(laughing)
- That still hasn't changed.
Alright, cool.
So that was like month two.
Where did I go?
I think, I think more around the stage four area,
I started to like, really take advantage
of the awkward stage.
That's when I really started to go,
like, how can I make this work?
Because it did start getting boofy.
Let's have a look at that.
- Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel
- Yeah
- If you're brand new,
and I make style and hair related videos,
every single week, here.
- See, I thought this hair style didn't look
too bad on me.
Like what I was doing with it.
I think I had about four inches of growth
by month four, 'cause, it was, it was growing
like an inch at a time
and you can see
in this video here,
I have straightened
all of those sides down
and managed to tuck them back.
So it was still able to give me quite a smart look
and that was like my best way of dealing with
the awkward stage.
It wasn't until about, I think, maybe, stage seven,
where it started getting, like really shit again.
- I thought it was very, very cool
and this is a picture of it right here.
- Oh yeah.
I remember that.
So, around about in stage four as well,
there was, I was having this mass obsession
about getting the lowered undercut.
So like having, instead of having
the high disconnected undercut up here,
it would go down to here.
And I think I mentioned that that was
going to be my goal in the end.
If you go and watch one of my last
Q and A actually, you'll see that
I completely change my mind about that.
It's just as it's been growing,
my, your mind just changes so much.
I enjoyed stage four.
It was good.
What else have we got?
Stage five.
I remember that's when I tried the
sugar bear hair pills or gummies.
Don't do it.
I've actually got a blog post all about that,
so you can go and check it out.
But, yeah, it's not.
I think they're a load of shit, to be honest.
If you want my honest opinion, just don't even.
Hair vitamins in general, I'm just like a big no.
Okay, so it's stage six, it looks like
I was hating it again.
Let's see why.
- Just lately, its really, really, really gotten to me
and I'm starting to get over it again so.
Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel.
My name's Thomas, if you.
Grown, well I just measured it before and I actually.
- Okay
- Really expensive and yummy.
So, yeah, I actually feel very let down by these,
you know-
- There you go.
I'm let down by the sugar bears
- Other influences
- It's so cool, going back and just
having look at it all.
- Do not buy these, in my opinion.
- Although my hair didn't look too bad
at this point,
like I think,
I think it was at a stage where,
just sweeping it back and straightening it
wasn't looking good anymore,
'cause it would prong out
and it still wasn't long enough
to get back into the bun.
So what I was using at this period, was just like,
bobby pins and just masses amounts of products
to try to stick it all down
and, I remember like one of the biggest problems
that I had with it was like, I would use
all these products to try and stick it down
but during the day, it would still just prong out
and go everywhere.
So, yeah, it was a bit of a tough one.
- In saying that though, not all is lost.
I did mention in my other video as well
that I reached out to a brand called Waterman's.
- Ahhh.
- Who also had a hair vitamin
- Okay, around about at stage six, that's when
I started reaching out for the Waterman's.
So, any of you guys that don't know
what Waterman's is yet,
it's like this sick-ass
hair growth shampoo that I used
during I think stages seven, eight and nine.
And I got tremendous growth using those.
It did require like a lot of massaging and stuff
and I have done extra videos about that
so if you're interested in trying something like that,
definitely go and check out those videos.
But, yes.
Stage nine.
So we just looked at stage seven,
(loud fanfare)
oh gosh.
- Thomas in action dot com
- That was my housemate Jordan.
- Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel.
My name's Thomas.
- I remember stage nine being really shit too.
Like, if that's any consolation,
nine months of growing your hair out
and it still feels shit.
You've really gotta like, consider your options here
and like what you're gonna be doing
and if you're keen enough to go through that stage,
because, I mean, now I can say at least,
yes, I'm so happy that I stuck with it,
because look what I got now.
But, ho-oh.
I remember this time and the prongy, outtie bits,
they were just not doing it for me.
- I'm very, very happy with and,
yeah, again, I would just recommend it.
Oh the hairstyle side of things,
- Here you go
What'd I say?
- Through this whole process, I've been doing
like, wearing hats, wearing beanies,
trying bobby pins, trying everything in the book.
And, to now, finally get,
- Ah.
- this man bun is just fricking crazy.
Today was actually the first time I'd straighten my hair
since the sides were about three point five inches, I think
- Yeah.
I take that back.
This was actually.
I remember filming this video.
This was the first time I was actually
about to get any of the hair at the back
into the bun and there was still the little bits
around my ears that would dangle down.
So, I take that back.
Stage nine isn't all lost.
It's actually when it starts getting better.
- It came down to about here.
It didn't looks great.
I did a video about my healthy hair products
and included, like, my straight bangs
down the sides and it looked a bit funny,
but now the hair's actually double that length.
- There was a period in here, as well, where
I spoke about being Crusty, the Crusty the Clown face.
Maybe that's back in stage two.
I have to go and find it, actually.
- Meet people in public and I'm like
"Hey, hey going."
And we kind of get talking and then
they'll go "Oh jeez, your hair's getting really long".
- (laughing)
- and I'm like, oh fuck, yep.
- I should actually do a video about what
people say to you when you're growing your hair out.
- Lots of people that I have a YouTube channel
and I do like, hair-related videos
and I show people how to do their hair properly,
people are like ah, yep, sure.
Maybe that's just my perception.
I don't know but yeah, that's,
that's what I'm up to with it,
the rest of my hair actually.
- I think it was this one I mention the Crusty Clown face.
No, it's not in that one.
Anyway.
(clearing throat)
Anyway, I'll just explain.
I can't find it but, there was this stage,
like, I think it was around stage two or three
where I really felt Crusty the Clowny.
It was almost like I could control
this hair up here but then all of the sides
would just go barp.
A few people in the Facebook group, as well
they've put pictures of themselves
next to Crusty the Clown and it's just absolutely hilarious.
I love it.
Oh yeah, by the way, I've got a Facebook group
that kind of caters towards this kind of stuff,
so if you're looking for like consistent inspiration
on your hair growth journey, it's a really
good idea to go and join that because we have
a good time in there and I've got a few secret
projects that I'm posting in there.
So if you wanna know the goss, make sure you,
get on board.
'cause I'm always looking for new opinions
and trying to really create the community, so.
Yeah, that's what we've got going on.
Alright, let's jump forward a little bit more.
I think.
Let's go to stage 13.
So this was about two months ago.
- This is hair growth check-in number 13.
- Oh my god, you can also see, like
- Hair growth tips and mythbusts.
- If you look at like my hair there out,
you can still see significant difference.
Like its sitting to about there
and even within the two month period,
you can see how much it's grown.
It's like, actually, unbelievable.
Although stage 13, was like,
stage 13 is the last time I actually did a measurement.
That's right.
I haven't put stage 14 in this video so,
in this playlist, so I'll make sure I go and do that,
along with check-in 15.
But, yeah, that's so interesting.
What was happening around stage 11?
What was I saying then?
How did I look?
(fanfare)
(whooshing)
- Hello everybody and welcome.
- Oh God
- back to my channel.
My name's Thomas
- I just tied it up in boring bun.
What's with that?
(computer dinging)
No.
I did do little bit about like, having it out.
Hang on a minute.
Here, we'll look here.
- Falling in love with having long, flowy hair
at the moment
- Yeah.
- But I have got a couple of videos coming up
about how I've been defining my curls a bit better
- Uh hm
- And yeah.
- Yeah, that's right.
Stage 11 was really the time when I kind of went okay,
this is cool.
And I started to enjoy it a lot more.
So stage 11 to stage 15.
I've had about four months or five months of no,
four months of really enjoying my hair.
So it took around about 11 month period
to really solidify and get into something that I liked, so.
Cool.
Well, I guess we don't have to really go any further
into the future because you can look at it now.
That's what this one's about.
And this is where I'm at.
And I couldn't love it any more, I don't think.
So, that's interesting.
I'm glad that I went and did that reflection.
Finishing on-screen video now.
(loud cracking clap)
Cool.
So, I hope you guys enjoyed watching that
little revision.
It's really cool to go back and look at it.
If you guys are growing your hair out and
documenting it as well, I'm always interested
to hear about it and also anybody that is making
time-lapses, please send them my way because
I found those, what reacting to time-lapses
videos very helpful for you guys.
You guys have given me great feedback on it.
I love sitting here and watching them and
going through them.
So, anybody that's making a time-lapse,
send it through to this email address.
Since the length is really come through for me,
wearing it down like this is now my new norm.
I love to just get up in the morning and
sort of swish my hair around.
I'll put a couple of products in it or
Or I'm also really enjoying
wearing the half-up, half-down
look like this
and having it tied like that
and really showing off like
what I've managed to grow.
I really feel like I'm.
I feel like a lion almost, like with his mane.
It's just so big and crazy and.
You might also be able to tell my hair is
still looking very fabulous, after the keratin
treatment and I've got a bit of gossip for you.
I've actually gone and had another one.
(chuckling)
Around the three and a half months after
getting the initial keratin treatment,
my original hair did start coming back
and I was like, what is this coarse mess?
I couldn't just really like,
I was not happy with it.
So I went Josh, we need another keratin treatment asap.
I honestly could not be more happy with that.
In other news as well, I have been seeing a few things
going around online about keratin treatments
giving you cancer and stuff.
And there is more information about this.
I think when people put the spin on stuff
like "Oh this gives you cancer",
everyone kind of freaks out about it.
But there's a reason why it was
giving some people cancer and it's because
of a chemical that was placed in keratin treatments
to begin with.
That has now been all aired and lots of companies,
they've gotta take out that chemical.
I am going to do another video about it,
because I think, I think people's ideas
of keratin treatments have just really been damaged by this
and it's just like smoking, you know, like people that
smoke cigarettes, they know it can give you cancer.
So, like I dunno.
It's just a, I think, a bit of awareness around it
needs to happen and so I'll be bringing you something
like that very soon.
That project that I mentioned,
in the last hair growth check-in, as well.
That is definitely underway.
I've actually released the idea into my
Facebook group, so if you guys want to go on
over there and check it out, you can join
the Facebook group and catch up on the goss,
like I was just saying earlier.
Yeah, I'm really excited about that.
I'm not gonna be releasing it here on
YouTube until I've, you know, got a little bit more
of the moving pieces all in alignment because
you know, announcing it here, it's like a lot bigger
than just announcing it in my group and plus
the groups kind of like my tight-knit circle,
like we all kind of talk and sort of get along.
So, yeah.
But I'm always keen for more members in there
and I love seeing your guys' journeys,
as we go along.
The last thing that I did want to mention
to you guys though, it's not even hair-related
but it's quite cool.
So, I went to the dentist not long ago
and the root canal that I had years ago, was starting
to get really weak and the dentist said
"Look, you need to get that crowned as soon as possible,
"otherwise it's just going to fall out of your head."
And I was like oh God, okay, cool.
So when I was looking at my options to getting my
crown, I went can I get a gold one?
(laughing)
And I just did a little bit of investigation on
how much more it would cost and I ended up
getting a gold tooth.
So check it out.
Can you guys see that?
(dinging)
Solid gold plated.
How groovy is that?
I thought it would add a little bit more character
to me and cause it's at the back,
I didn't really have too much, like worry
about it.
I was like so what.
If it was like the front one, I probably
wouldn't get a, like gold one but, I just
thought it was groovy and added a bit of character.
So, how do you like dem apples?
(laughing)
That's pretty much all I've got
for this check-in for you guys.
I really hope you enjoyed going into revision
and diving back into the past.
It was really cool to see all of that and
just reflect on it for a minute.
Anybody that's struggling with coarse hair,
if you're wondering to get a keratin treatment,
definitely go and get one.
Just try it out.
Actually, before doing that, I should
really do the post about education on keratin treatments,
so you don't think you get cancer because
trust me, they're on to it.
That's pretty much all I got.
Please let me know how you're going with your
hair-growth journeys in the comments section below
and I'll see you next month for our next check-in.
I think I'm gonna continue on with the measurements
and stuff as well, 'cause it is interesting just to see
the evolution of how much hair I'm growing
and go from there.
Alright.
So I'll see you next time.
Bye!
(smacking lips)
(explosion)
- [Man] I want your friends.
(laughing)
- These guys?
They actually don't have a name
but I have got a backstory for them.
So, I created these in my year 10 pottery class and
(laughing)
At the time, Lady Gaga was very big and
she did a collaboration with Beyonce and
they did like Telephone and Videophone.
And in Videophone, I remember like the shitty
computer graphics that they were using.
Like there was these guys in suits with camera heads
and I was like oh that's a cool idea.
So, when we had to make our clay models, I was like, well,
I'll make some zombie looking body things and then
I'll take that camera head idea
and voila,
you got my friends.
I hope you guys are enjoying these random objects
that I'm placing in the video.
I just want to keep you on your toes.
