Mens Hairstyles – Long

We only bring you the best looking and coolest hairstyles at Mens Hairstyle Trends. So when we talk about mens hairstyles – long, it’s more Jared Leto and Josh Holloway than the pec-skimming length by Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt in Interview with a Vampire. This long mens hair is masculine with an attitude.

When it comes to mens long hair, keep it simple. You don’t need layers, texture, or fringe. Just keep hair mostly one length all over. But do get it cut – you want this to be your hairstyle, not overgrown shag. Work with the hair type that you have. If it’s curly, you’ll need a different cut. If hair is wavy, like shown above, let it do it’s thing. The weight of longer hair makes the wave more manageable.

This slicked back look is a clean cut way to style long hair. Run a little bit of product through hair (not too much – it will be especially noticeable with longer hair). Comb hair into place, working hair up and back at the forehead. Finish with a touch more of product at the hairline.

Long Hair Style for Men

Its true. Wearing mens hair long isn’t for everyone. But the converse is also true. Short hair mens hair isn’t for everyone either.

Mens long hair styles are associated with rebels, artists, and those who live by their own rules. If that’s you, check out this long hair style for men.

Other than soccer fields and vampire movies, one of the places that men are often seen with longer locks is the surfer scene. Get this surfer cool look by growing hair out and then getting a cut to update the look. Worn with designer stubble, the short beard complements the long hair.

One thing rarely mentioned about long hair, despite all the other associations, is that it requires patience. Hair grows an average of 1/2 an inch a month, for a total of 6″ a year. To get the long surfer hair above would take over a year of growth starting from short hair.

To keep mens long hair healthy and looking great, add a conditioner to your shower routine and try not to shampoo everyday (once or twice a week is enough) – it is unnecessary and dries hair out. For a fresh masculine scent try American Crew Citrus Mint, Bed Head Men Peppermint, or Aveda Men Pure-Formance.

A lot of mens hair products are focused on super clean, 2-in-1, and anti-dandruff. These are not the best products for men with long hair so don’t pick them up just because it says “men” on the label.

If dandruff does occur (it happens to everyone sometime), look for products that contain tea tree oil that will help with dry scalp but are gentle enough for every day like Wen by Chaz Dean Tea Tree or Paul Mitchell Tea Tree.

Keep reading for how to wear long hairstyles for men.

A few things usually go wrong when men wear their hair long. The first is simply growing long hair without taking any further action. To look it’s best, long hair must be cut into a hairstyle. Look at Brad Pitt, Slash, and David Beckham. They all have styles and not just overgrown hair.

Second, is working with your hair type. Is it straight and fine, thick and wavy, curly? All these hair types have different needs and cuts. This Sean White-inspired long hair has multiple lengths that lighten up long hair and bringing out natural wavy texture. Work with a stylist to find a cut that works for you.

Last but not least is hair care. Hair grows an average of half an inch a month. Do the math and long hair is years old and requires care. Use mousturizing products, gently comb hair, and condition hair once in a while.

Last, hair looks best with a touch of product on a daily basis. An anti-frizz product works for every hair type and will keep you from being that guy with scraggly hair.

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Extra Strength Serum is available at every grocery and drug store and works for every hair type. This is the best option for fine and straight hair but works for everyone.

Living Proof No Frizz Styling Cream uses silicon to coat hair and eliminate the frizz that heat and humidity cause. This entire product line is worth the investment for healthy, shiny long hair.

Undercut with Long Hair for Men

The undercut has been one of the hottest cuts for men this year. The shaved sides can be a part of any hairstyle and any hair length. Here’s how to wear the undercut with long hair for men.

Long hair for men is usually straight forward. Grow hair long, get it cut, ponytail, done. A way to get a modern update that also cleans up hair is adding an undercut. Usually hair is shaved all the way around the sides and back but for longer hair, you probably want to shave a smaller area.

This cut shaves the side burns, just behind the ear, and all the way around the hairline. This creates a unique profile when hair is tied back and gives a clean cut finish. To get this smooth and groomed ponytail, use a lightweight pomade like blowPro mane tame soft pomade to prevent fly aways.

Of course, any hair cut short will have to grow long again. To cover the area while it’s growing out, you’ll have to wear hair down. Hair extensions are an option if you are very dedicated to long hair.

5 Best Tips for Mens Long Hairstyles

Mens long hairstyles are one of the signature rebellious looks. Wearing hair long, as seen on Johnny Depp, Jared Leto (as 90s heart throb Jordan Catalano and now), and Alexander Skarsgård, the message is one of individuality and non-conformity.

Here are the 5 tips to get the best mens long hair.

1. It’s a Hairstyle – Mens long hair isn’t about waiting too long between haircuts but committing to a medium or long hairstyle. As seen above, hair is almost uniformly chin length. There are no shaggy bangs or overgrown hair at the neck.

2. The Part – For a more sophisticated take on mens long hairstyles, part hair to one side. The “butt cut” is flattering as an exception, not the rule.

3. The Wash – Longer hair will reveal exactly how you’re treating it so treat it right. For most people, the daily shampoo is too much – it dries out hair and can cause breakage.

Unless your hair looks greasy without the daily wash, start skipping a day of shampoo and extending that until its every 4 day or even once a week (supposedly Robert Pattinson only washes every 6 weeks). This is especially important for curly hair.

4. Conditioner - If you don’t already, it’s time to add conditioner to your shower routine (this step can replace shampoo on most days). You can choose conditioner for your hair type and/or the sensory experience.

Some of the best and best smelling conditioners for men are American Crew Tea Tree Conditioner, Redken Mens Cool Finish Conditioner, and Woody’s Quality Grooming Daily Conditioner.

5. Product – With longer hair, you’re going to need product – no matter what your hair type (fine, straight, wavy, thick, curly). The extra length is an asset for curly or wavy hair, just add something like Kevin Murphy Easy Rider 5 Best Tips for Mens Long Hairstyles to minimize unwanted frizz and bring out natural curl.

Straight and fine hair, like the image above, use something light like Sebastian Potion No. 9 Light Styler Treatment tame fly aways. For thicker hair or to style slicked back hair, try a pomade such as D:fi D:struct Pliable Molding Creme.

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
