Hairstyle Trend: Men’s Long Hair

As male hair trends go, long hair has always been a bit hit and miss. It used to be reserved for boho types; worn in dreads or left unwashed for days in order to portray a ‘free’ festival going lifestyle. Not forgetting the Warhammer playing behemoth who believes he lives in a fantasy world of long haired and bearded warlords… well, you get the picture.

Long For Life, Get It Right

When you start getting a bit of length, don’t be tempted to get a square line cut at the bottom (anywhere between the earlobe or jawline), unless you are lucky enough to have chiseled features and don’t possess jowls of a gerbil.
Have your hairdresser soften the edge of the length and wear the front and side pushed gently away from the face in a side or middle parting.
This long hair trend is just that, long hair, so stay away from elaborate layers and chopped up texture. Keep it simple, go for length and definitely no fringes.
Try and keep a balance between the front, sides and back, so there are no extreme differences in length. We are not aiming for a mullet.
Although you will need some kind of finishing product, don’t overload the hair. Use just enough for control and to softly define the natural texture.
