Long hair has long been an object of discussion and debate among generations. Yet with proper care, men with long locks can look stylish and sophisticated. An attractive haircut can give men confidence and masculinity. But remember that too much washing may strip hair of its natural oils, leading to dryness.
For this look, your hair must be medium-long with plenty of texture and layers. Additionally, having several styling products on hand and being willing to allow it to air dry are both critical factors in creating this style. Priano and Tuzes recommend washing with shampoo that does not contain sulfates (this chemical can damage curls), leaving in conditioner and volumizing gel as part of a volumizing routine for an added lift and soft look.
Men with long hair can still look dapper and sophisticated by opting for the classic slicked-back style. This hairdo features a complex part with shaved sides and long locks combed back neatly – it is ideal for bold looks! Make use of gel or pomade with strong holding properties, using your fingertips to comb through thoroughly before setting.
For an updated take on this style, consider fade or bald fade styles that create an eye-catching finish – similar to Brad Pitt in Fury! These cuts also work great if you have longer top layers with shorter sides – giving off a rebellious, gritty appearance.
At one time, having anything other than a center part was a sure sign of old age. A Tik Tok trend that thousands of Gen Z influencers witnessed demonstrated this idea – widely accepting side parts as juvenile and outdated styles.
But side parts have made a comeback, when combined with appropriate haircuts. A sleek or side ponytail gives a polished and refined appearance; go bolder by pairing a deep side part with fades or undercuts for an eye-catching effect.
Styling a side part is simple – all it requires is some pomade or wax applied to towel-dried hair and a fine toothcomb to shape it into the desired form. A deep side part may even help hide an unsightly cowlick!
Cowlicks can make all the difference when it comes to long hairstyles. Not only can they add rugged, organic texture, but they’re also fantastic at creating masculine looks!
Location can also play an integral part in how a cowlick appears; one placed near the crown area might resemble an exposed scalp bump, while one near the front hairline might even be mistaken for balding.
Cowlicks can often be easily hidden with specific haircuts and styling products. Some strategies to tame stubborn cowlicks include manipulating its direction with heat (root taming irons work best) as well as switching up styles or testing different middle/side parts – however, it might take some time – with consistent grooming and hairstyling efforts, you should have your cowlick under control in no time!
