How to make long hair look more masculine?
So I've been growing my hair out for a whole year now. I love it, and have no plans of ever cutting it short again.
But the thing is is that my hair naturally parts in the middle of my head, and it doesn't really look manly on me, even though I have a full beard.
So how can long hair look more masculine? Incidently, I don't like using hair gel, or any of that stuff in my hair.

I don't have long hair myself so I don't have any advice from personal experience, but I would say that you could look towards other examples of long hair styles for men and see how they make it work. For example, Chris Hemsworth has long hair whenever he plays Thor in a Marvel movie, but he makes it look good while still coming off as masculine.
By cutting it.
Once you feel like you've gotten enough input from people online, the last thing you should do is go to a hairdresser and have them tell you what they think. They'll have a better idea of what products could help and what style would be best.
thanks for sharing
I mainly come here to look and dont comment much. But I have to say you make some pretty fucking pointless threads
I've kept my hair long for years. Some things I do are. When its loose I keep it tucked behind my ears, the parts that would be bangs can fly forward to frame your face. use no product on it at all, but you can never use enough conditioner. If you put it in a pony tail, make sure the tie back sits low, right near the bottom edge of your hair.
Headbang
Or even better, Windmill
Ooooooh...
Scorched my eyebrows off with that one.
Hey it's something to discuss. Not like there's much new threads coming in these days.
I mean, I've had the same haircut for roughly my entire life. (A mix of Vince from 400 days, Troy from Season 2, and Jim Morrison if I'm being truthful)
And honestly? It's either gonna look masculine or its not. But here's some tough love really quick.
Why the fuck does it matter? Not everything has to be masculine. Especially since you have to claim a beard. I think you've met that goal. Especially since I myself can't grow one for shit. Don't think too hard about that stuff, man.
You get to define what's manly. If anyone disagrees, snarl.
Dreadlocks, Mon!
So, ehm, never wash it again!
Long hair isn't for everyone. It better to be a bearded guy with nice, well-maintained hair than to have long but dry, brittle hair. You can always try conditioners or special shampoo if you really insist on that.
Why you roasting him like that?
Shave it off.
Cut it off
Had me going there for a sec...
The choice is obvious
A real man doesnt care about what other people think about his hair.
...unless his girlfriend doesnt like it
Let your hair hang loose and tie tiny dumbbells, a switchblade, and a beer can at the end of the strands. No one will fuck wit ya after that.
The internet is the wrong place for such a question, since you mainly get "opinions" of trolls. A hairdresser should be able to help you way better, since they usually know what suits you personally.
Your masculinity is so fragile.
Had it and got rid of it. Try growing facial hair and parting it evenly
Yeah but. . . Chris Hemsworth.
I was just asking a question. Honestly, in many respect, I'm wondering why the hell I'm even on here anymore.
Hair parts in the middle of your head? Why don't you put on a hat or cap?
Try commenting less from now on...
Yeah, not at all like your impressive addition to the conversation.
It looks like my grandma's hairstyle but people seem to like it.
I brush mine all the way back, (not parting in the middle but starting at your forehead and literally just brushing it all backwards the same direction, as opposed to parting in the middle and brushing either side in an attempt of a symmetrical angle which hopefully ends up going at a 120-ish degree backwards and a little down, and tie it up with an elastic....(Black, of course, but if all my black elastics have snapped I tend to substitute them for dark purple or red.........Try to stay away from ribbons) :P
For an informed answer, really you should put down how LONG your hair is. That has a great deal to do with which ways you can tie your hair back and what other options you have available
Well I bumped the thread alot so I think it worked.
You're welcome.
In all seriousness though I used to have long hair myself, I don't really know how to make it more "Masculine" but I think if you have a beard it should actually look fine as is, I was the same until just two years ago (long hair & beard).
I'm proud of you for bumping the thread...
People with dreads wash their hair more than people without dreads. they have to keep the scalp clean.
Apply some mousse maybe
1 word..........Dreads, (although if you have a younger sibling/child who attends school, it might not be in your best interests to have dreadlocks). I had dreadlocks when I was 17 but my younger sister, who was still in school at the time, came home one day and brought with her some little friends. Yep, there was a head-lice outbreak at the school and I caught biddies off her, who then decided, with great care, grace and aplomb, to burrow their way into the dreads.....deep in them.....so the treatment that we got wouldn't penetrate the dreadlocks, leaving me with the fantastic, yet for the most part very singularly, options of keeping my dreads and eventually the lice could evolve into intelligent beings who walk upright and create many technological marvels, even mastering interstellar flight and building craft to soar into the heavens and beyond to create a truly galactic epidemic of the little b'stards........or shave my dreads off. It seems like an easy choice, now that I look back upon that era of my life, but that didn't help at the time and certainly didn't stop a lonely tear rolling down my cheek as I heard the hum of the clippers getting closer and closer whilst I just stared straight ahead into the mirror, thinking about my "Happy Place"
Im sure you could have found a way to keep your dreads there are so many products out there or you could have doused your hair in vodka or something.
Im dreading my boyfriends hair at the moment backcombing and twist and rip, how did you do yours and did they mature/lock properly?
