Men with long hair have many styles available, some requiring more time and effort to style correctly. Here are some ideas to consider:
Layering can thin out thick, heavy hair and add volume, creating an elegant and sharp appearance. Long layered styles can be worn straight with bangs or in a comb-over style. Layers also help thicker locks appear thinner by reducing bulk. If your hair naturally curls or waves, consider a layered cut that works with its natural texture. Use hair gel or pomade to control unruly wisps and make waves more structured. An ear tuck cut is a classic long layered haircut that looks great on heart-shaped faces. Pair it with quiffs styled over or blown out to give it a modern edge. Fades or undercuts on both sides can also enhance the style.
A faded haircut features longer hair on top and shorter sides and back for a defined and stylish appearance. Mid-fades provide more coverage and create a subtler skin-hair line. For an eye-catching style, try the high fade. This trend features medium to long locks on top slicked back or styled with gel or pomade, creating a contrast against short sides and nape. Low taper fades offer more subdued yet sophisticated style options and can be combined with a beard for a modern and masculine aesthetic.
An undercut is a popular choice for men with longer locks who want to add an edgier and more sophisticated appearance. It involves shorter sides with length kept on top. Discuss with your stylist the style you want and how it suits your face shape and hair type. An undercut quiff works well for square-face forms. Long-haired clients benefit from this cut as it allows for simple styling options like ponytails, top knots, and man buns.
A pompadour adds volume to the top layers of a man’s hair, creating an intelligent or rock n’ roll look. It works for all lengths and types of hair, but styling products are required to maintain its form. Classic pompadour styles involve slicking the hair back and wearing it high over the forehead. Modern versions often feature shorter styles with fades or taper finishes combined with scissor-cut pomps on top.
The side part is a variation of the classic center part, offering a pleasing style for men with long hair. It works best for straight or somewhat straight tresses. Use hair products to control frizz, unruly wisps, and add shine. It can also be a great style for people with cowlicks. Choose a left-side part for clockwise cowlicks and vice versa for counterclockwise movements. For a casual look, try a surfer style by letting your hair fall past your shoulders and texturizing with sea salt spray or matte pomade.
