Natural State of Hair and beard Part 4 (Concluded)

• This blog post is in continuation of the earlier post Natural-state-of-hair-and-beard-part-3
• In 2013 I began using Moser Hair trimmer since August 2013 and loved it.
• Main reason was that my visits to the barber stopped completely.
• Sometimes I needed to go to the saloon twice a fortnight to get the perfect cut.
• Moser hair Clipper 
• Now with the above trimmer, I could get the perfect cut on my own.
• There was no need for me to visit any saloon.
• It was something new to me.
• Let me confess that with the Moser trimmer you cannot give yourself a "stylish cut".
• You can cut your hair short, too short like 1 cm or 1.5 cm or even lesser than that though there are settings for longer hair I have never tried it.
• Enjoyed the Moser trimmer for 6 and half years.
• In between I have bought two more Moser trimmers.
• One Moser trimmer I had bought was duplicate Chinese model.
• Original are "Made in Germany" but the Chinese one written as "Made as Germany"
• Also the Chinese model used to shut down itself after 2 minutes maybe due to heat(?) and then restart.
• The Chinese one costs considerably less maybe 50% of the original and that is one way to identify the duplicate.
• I started using Moser trimmer in July 2013 and this year in January 2020 I have decided to stop the usage of Moser trimmer or practice of cutting my hair short.
• Similar thing happened for beard.
• I had stopped shaving full beard in May 2013 and then for two or three months I was only shaving the moustache as it was simpler thing to do and the blade lasted longer.
• That was before I bought a Philips trimmer for beard (around July-August 2013).
• After that the practice of shaving just the mustache stopped and I felt a deep connection between moustache and beard (like they are linked).
• Then in the past 6 years I have shaved very little maybe not more than 10 or 15 times and have done it at saloon about 6 or 7 times.
• Sometimes I visited saloon only for shaving.
• But in between in those six years I also bought a Philips shaving machine and used it for a month or so. Ultimately, I gave it away in a restaurant to the waiter for free.
• Now in January 25, 2020 I have bought shaving kit and restarted the daily shaving process.
• In between (2013-19) I have bought the shaving foam thrice and given it away again and again.
• Now in January 2020 I have gone traditional and bought the shaving cream and brush and not foam.
• As far as blade is considered I have bought the use and throw blade of Gillette.
• Earlier to 2013 when I used to shave daily, I was using the Mach 5 blade of Gillette as its life was more. I had observed that you could use it for 6 months non stop.
• Now the use and throw blades will last maybe a week or 10 days I feel.
• Now that is trade off whether you want old blade to last for several months or go for less effective new blades.
• As far as hair on top of the head is considered, I have decided to let it grow.
• Let us see how things pan out.
• I am planning to let it grow so that I can have a "Man Bun".
• Let is see if it happens.
• I have seen that it may take upto 1 year to grow the man bun as per Google search.
• Now related to it is daily shaving.
• Presently instead of just linking the moustache and beard and keeping the hair on top of the head separate, I have linked all together.
• The beard and moustache included and the hair on top of the head.
• Here we again come the Demodex connection.
• If we do not shave and keep hair on top of the head long, the demodex will find a perfect path to the top of the head and will infest the head.
• I do not know what the consequence would be but why allow it to lead to it.
• Better to be shave daily so the Demodex will have a short life of 1 day on your face and will not get the chance to team up and march to the top of your head.
• And what to do with the hair on top of your head.
• Since you are not washing it daily as daily washing will lead to head spinning and feeling giddy and feverish.
• You can do wash it once or twice a week.
• At least that is what the Google search shows.
• Washing twice per week is recommended as per different websites available from Google search for normal hair.
• My practice earlier to January 2020 was daily washing (with very short hair) for more than 25 years.
• Just I used to wash it with shampoo daily and that was it. I never used conditioner or hair oil and did any other experiments on the hair.
• Now that has changed in January 2020.
• I have decided to let my hair grow till I can sport a "man bun" and daily washing is no longer required or recommended or possible.
• So the natural state of hair is washing once or twice a week and then apply a hair oil.
• I have chosen to apply Coconut hair oil.
• But if you want you can apply any other hair.
• Why apply hair oil you may ask.
• Because that is "natural state of the hair"
• If you are not washing it daily then you should keep it in a state which would be easy to keep and maintain.
• Applying hair oil is a simple way to maintain the hair.
• And I will recommend that you apply the same hair oil everyday.
• Do not do too much experiment on the hair and apply different types of oils as that may take a toll on the hair and you may end up losing them and going bald.
• It is very easy for a man to go bald.
• Certainly we see many men being bald.
• Maybe they grew their hair long and did lot of experiments like applying different oils and creams on their hair.
• I feel going bald is not possible if you keep your hair very short (so short that you can't grip it) and wash daily with shampoo like I was doing for past 28 years.
• But I am now going into uncharted territory now.
• I have decided to let my hair grow with daily shaving and applying coconut hair oil daily and washing with shampoo twice a week.
• Will i grow a beard again? That needs to be seen.
• My target is to grow that hair this long that I can sport a man bun and then think about the beard.
• You may ask what my target would be.
• I can point out to Bigg Boss 13 contestant Vishal Aditya Singh . Maybe resemble something like that.
• Will I go bald in the process.
• I surely hope not. But let me mention it that having hair on top of your head is an asset and you will only know about it when you lose it and go bald.
• It is like having white hair coming about of beard.
• You are reminded about your age and realise how you will never get younger again when you see white beard coming out of your beard.
• But becoming bald will hit harder and I can imagine the pain.
• I must reveal now that if I have any indication that I am going bald then I will reverse the decision of having long hair and "man bun" and go back to pre Jan 2020 when I use to use the Moser trimmer and keep the hair very short.
• That is for now and concluded.
