Question(s) for Absalom

You're the guy with the near knee-length hair that you keep tied at 4" intervals ?
I'm 41 and have 3 years' growth from 1" and have thinning hair that used to be very thick when I was younger (if that makes sense)! The individual hairs are very thick but there's fewer of them now. You've mentioned in your posts that you keep your hair tied as it has increased your terminal length considerably. I've tried this myself over the last week (using 3 or 4 bands) during the day and whilst I'm asleep. I've noticed a considerable difference in the texture of my hair already - it's much smoother and less coarse. I also like the look of it too (it makes a change from a standard 'tail).
My questions are : Do you need to keep your hair tied like this all the time to get the benefits you mention ? Do you ever have your hair loose or just in a ponytail ? At what stage in you hair journey did you start tying your hair like this ?
Thanks in anticipation,
Laurence

I keep my hair tied with multiple soft cloth bands almost all the time to get the best benefit. I almost never have it loose because it tangles very quickly. The problem is that I have the wrong hair type to grow really long. I have a mix of straight, wavy, curly, coarse, medium, and fine hair. The multiple bands made very long hair a reality for me. Without those bands I would have been lucky to see 18 inches due to massive tangling, loss, and breakage. Occasionally I may have it in a regular ponytail if I am indoors. Due to its extreme length (over 3 feet) I really have to keep it in multiple bands to avoid hair accidents. (It gets caught in things easily.) I started using multiple bands on my hair when the ponytail was maybe 15 inches long. At 15 inches it needed only 3 or 4 bands but now at over 3 feet it needs 9 bands. Absalom
Thank you for the reply (nt)
