Men with long hair often exude confidence. They don’t hesitate to put in extra time and effort to keep their locks looking their best. Some ways of styling long hair for men include a top knot, low pony, man bun, or braids. Wavy or not-too-straight styles also look good.
The top knot is an effortless yet sophisticated men’s hairstyle that is simple and sophisticated perfect for formal occasions and second-day hair! Style it for maximum volume or leave it slightly undone to achieve different effects. Additionally, this style works wonders as an anti-frizz option that keeps your locks out of your face.
To create the Halle Berry-inspired version of this men’s hairstyle, follow these steps:
1. Pull your hair into a medium-height ponytail secured with elastic.
2. Divide it into two equal-sized sections.
3. Loop the left side of your hair once around itself, securing its end with pins.
4. Repeat the process on the right side.
5. Use any remaining length to form another bun on top of the first bun secured by additional pins.
6. Use some hair spray to complete the look.
Are you concerned that a top knot may make you appear unprofessional? Pair it with an intelligent haircut or a skin fade with a beard for a bright, businesslike appearance. Street style stars like Jared Leto and Leonardo DiCaprio have popularized this hairstyle.
A low pony is an easy and attractive choice for an effortless style suitable for nearly every event. Perfectly complementing accessories like baseball caps, scarves, and headpieces. Adding texture or braids to your low ponytail can add visual interest and style.
To achieve a feminine and flirty look with a low ponytail, create a simple side braid or weave your entire mane into loose braids before pinning them. Pairing your low ponytail with a colorful headband or scarf can give you a sexier, more sophisticated look.
Men with long hair may find the man bun stylish yet simple. It can look incredibly masculine when worn with clean-cut suits or if you have wavy or textured locks. The man bun is versatile and can switch between shaggy and intelligent depending on the occasion or mood.
Celebrities like Joaquin Phoenix, Harry Styles, and Jared Leto have helped make the man bun popular across America and Europe. If your hair is too short for a whole man bun, try creating a mini version by tying your locks back in a high ponytail and keeping the top section behind your ears.
Be sure to maintain your man bun with regular haircuts to keep it looking sharp and tidy. Trimming sideburns and nape hair when necessary can also help define your face shape.
An elegant braid adds an effortless yet classy finish to any look, perfect for formal occasions such as weddings or proms. To create a braid, divide your hair into three equal sections and start braiding by crossing the right section over the middle until one strand moves to the right while another shifts leftward. Finish by tying your braid with clear elastics.
Add flowers or bows to embellish your braid and match your outfit. Another creative option is to create a heart-shaped braid by starting with a low ponytail, twisting it all the way through, and looping small sections from each side to form a heart shape.
These simple styles can be achieved with practice and add variety and personality to your long hair.
