I'm a guy, I voted no. I hate when my hair gets long. I used to buzz it, now I buzz it a bit longer :p I'm straight, so I don't really care if other guys hair is long, as long as it doesn't get in my way or in my food or smell bad.

Effeminate? I've got long, curly hair (reaches between my shoulder blades), and I've never heard it to be effeminate. Then again, I'm a bigger guy (6'2"). The beard might have something to do with it too.


While we're on the subject, anyone who knows more about hair have any shampoo/conditioner recommendations for my kind of hair (curly, very thick)? I like the curls (and the jealous remarks they get from the girls), just trying to find a way to keep the frizz down. I'm using some Vive conditioner for curly hair, and it seems to do alright. Wondering if anyone knows anything better.

Citre Shine shampoo and conditioner. I used to get it because it was the only shampoo that didn't have Cetyl alcoho. They started adding it a few years ago. It isn't as good, but it still does better than others because there isn't as much as in other shampoos.

so there arnt any without cetyl alcohol? O.o, what does it do to hair?~

Bwahahahahaha!

Awesome.


And long hair on guys? I'm not a fan...

The curl vive is good, I also like the Dove extra moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. When you condition your hair, run a wide toothed comb thru it,and leave the conditioner on for a few minutes, that distributes the conditioner where it needs to go. Then rinse with cool water. (makes it shiney) Touching your hair causes frizz, so once you have dried your hair (and you dont need to blowdry) just don't touch -- and the frizz should not be a problem.

Oh dear god yes....

There is nothing hotter. Thank goodness my boy grew his hair out... :icare:

It coats hair and slows water evaporation. Unfortunately, it dries out hair and leaves a slight film on it. If you're picky about details, hair feels softer and more natural without it. I'm mildly OCD and one thing that bothes me is if my hair isn't smooth and clean. Most people won't even notice. Another reason I like Citre Shine is because it doesn't give me dandruff (since my skin doesn't dry out with it,) and unlike anti-dandruff shampoos it doesn't have pyrithione zinc, which has been linked to the early onset of alzheimer's diesease.

I think that some Herbal Essences products are also alcohol-free. The only ones I have are printed in chinese, so I couldn't tell you right now.

I love guys with long hair, its always been a favorite look of mine. I think you can wear it either just down or back in a ponytail, both looks are alright. I would't mess with any type of highlighting or coloring though, I would just leave it at your natural hair color. Go for it! :thumbsup:

Nothing looks worse than an old guy with long hair...unless he's an old balding guy with long hair. Yuck!

Long hair on men (now in the form of a poll)
 

Hello, all. I am a young guy and have started growing out my hair to about mid-back length. I've been wondering how others on the TFP view long hair on men, so I thought I'd put up a poll.

From what I've read on this and other forums, long-haired men have a tendency to attract certain types of women. They tend to be the alternative, quirky type.

Long-haired men also apparently have a number of stereotypes associated with them. It seems that most people associate long hair with either an engineer, a hippie, or a biker.

I think the pictures of Dave will prove I prefer it LONG...really long

To me, short hair is cleaner and looks more kempt.

I'm just not attracted to guys with short hair or no hair. I mean, the hormones simply don't fire up at all. Longish-short hair is okay though. Just not buzzed, super-short or shaved, ever.

Before applying for my present job, I cut my hair by more than 2 feet. While I could probably get away with any length now, a ponytail on balding guy isn't the look I'm going for. I prefer it long, but will defer to mother nature.

I like longish hair on guys, especially when well-maintained. Mm. Sexy.

Short hair just looks too uptight to me.

while I prefer long hair....I have seen one or two bald men in my life that got the juices flowing!!! :thumbsup:

short, long, straight, curly, full head of hair, bald, shaved.... It's all good... the only thing that makes me go.... :cringe: is the dreaded combover... Bald and balding can be very sexy... grass does not grow on a busy street -- so ergo - bald = intelligence and intelligence is oh so sexy... :)

Just no combovers... please.... ever... that's just wrong...

At 18 I had mine cropped (80s flat top).

At 21 I had it long (90's rock god) - it turns out tat my hair grows long and glossy and dead straight. It got to about lower back length.

At 26 I decided that one day I'd be old enough for it to be stoopid, so I got it cut into a generic #2 crop back and sides, and a scissor cut over the top.

The guy I shared an office with nearly swallowed his tongue when I came in. :D

Damn, I have all my hair.... must mean my street is a dead end that hasn't been travelled in years..... :lol:

I used to have long hair and love having it, and in all honesty, (and I know many eyes will roll and laughter will be heard by many screens) I like MULLETS. I am a child of the 80's, it was by far my favorite decade (I guess everyone's teen years are tho, maybe it's the innocence and beginning to see who you are)

My problem now is I had to get a haircut for an interview a few months ago and the hair is very slow in growing, used to grow very fast.

I agree about comb overs.

Anyway, I've rambled and I appologize.

I have rather long hair (~27 inch). I think it depends on your type How it looks. Let it grow a bit and see how it looks.

and the stereotype thing also depends on how you dress, not just the hair.

I love hair. Yep. Short red and curly to long dark and straight, I don't care, as long as you pick something that suits YOU. You can tell when someone isn't feeling the same things their hair is feeling. :lol:

Grow it out, and see! (Q, I'm talkin' to you too, mister!)

There wasn't an option for "it depends on the man"

some guys can pull it off, some can't, so it depends if i like it or not on a specific person :)

Sweetpea

I voted no, because in 99% of cases, it's probably not going to match up with a overall 'style' that I personally find attractive.

Some guys can pull it off. But, still ...

Some shagginess can work ... depends ..
by shagginess I mean, still above the shoulders.

hm, don't like no hair either ...

hair adds to a person's style, and I'm a fan of aesthetics ...

Dude, don't you know nothin? Chicks dig Mulletts which are neither short nor long!!! It's all business up front and Party in the BACK!

ive been growing my hair out kinda... not trying to... just havnt gotten it cut lately..it needs atleast a trim to even the edges...

i kinda like mine longer... a lot more work to keep it taken care of but not too bad...

Because it's worth 1000 words:

That's me just out of the shower. When my hair dries, it has a bit more volume to it than that. Reaches about the middle of my back.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I've never heard that before...that is hilarious.

Mine is getting long, its probably six inches or so down to the tip of my nose or the middle of my neck. My problem is that I have curly hair so when it started getting long I had hot ass hockey hair (girls seemed to like it) now I'm just shaggy McGoo. I am getting it cut on Friday.

Pretty much my length right there, except I have bangs and my hair can get a little more curly. The best way I can describe it is a Jimmy Page hair style.

It all depends on the guy - just like some women look really great with short hair while others just can't pull off the look.

For myself - I have a huge tendency to lean towards guys with short hair. I just love running my hands through it. Mmmmmmm. *purr*

I had mid-back length hair for a few years (grew out during most of highschool, was at its longest senior year and the first year and a half of colllege). I eventually got tired of it and cut it all off. I think I look much better now without it. Maybe it just didn't work for me. I had a few girls compliment me on it, though, and one seemed a little upset when I cut it.

So I guess it just depends on the girl.

As others have mentioned, ultimately it depends on the guy; some look completely dorky with long hair and others can wear it long and look good. Personally, in general I find clean cut guys way more attractive. In high school most of the girls were all about the surfers (who just looked gross to me; I wanted to tell them to go wash their hair for crissakes).

One pet peeve of mine, besides the infamous combover, is when a guy needs to shave his neck!

Since it looks like long hair is winning... Here's some pix of me. I normally am very presentable, combing my curly locks back and wearing my hair in a pony tail...

i just cant..maybe its a fetish..i dont know why i like long hair..i just do!! :crazy:

you have some beautiful hair there... mister coaster... :)

I have long hair and the ladies love it. My mother hates it.

I wore it long in high school and in college. I've grown up now, plus I'm in the Navy which limits my hairstyle choices anyway. I'll never go back to long hair, it's just an inconvenience that I'm glad I don't have anymore.

-Mikey

I have a hair fetish. I dream of long haired men brushing it, letting me run my fingers through it, feeling alight against me in those tender moments *sighs* More long haired men, please!

i love having long hair, ive found people tend to stare at my hair because its scruffy lol but who cares, my ex girlfriend loved it :thumbsup:
