Long Curly Hair Men

Long curly hair men has a long history of awesomeness – Slash, Lenny Kravitz and Russel Brand to name a few. Here’s what you need to know about to grow your curly hair long.

If you’re starting out from a buzz cut, face it now that there’s going to be an awkward phase. It’s unavoidable, temporary and totally worth it.

The rules for healthy curly hair are at the same at every length:

• Only shampoo once a week.
• Condition every day
• Use a leave in conditioner or curl specific product to add definition and reduce frizz
• Don’t rub hair dry – blot it (and an old t-shirt or microfiber cloth are more absorbent and gentler on hair)
• Comb hair gently, when wet and with a wide tooth comb

The second most important thing about maintaining an enviable head of curly hair is a great haircut. Visit a barber or stylist who’s experienced with your hair type and will cut hair so is easy to maintain and forms a flattering profile. Once you get that cut, you can maintain it yourself.

Last, as with all men’s hair, the products you use are essential. Don’t dry out and damage hair with the cheapest drugstore options. Here are some of the best products for curly hair men:

• Aveda Be Curly Unisex Conditioner
• Curly Sexy Hair Unisex Curling Creme
• And the best but far from the cheapest – Kerastase Oleo-curl
