If you’ve decided to continue growing your hair while in quarantine, you’re actually on your way to a #trending style. From long-haired braided hairstyles to man bun updos, it’s clear that many guys want to leave their hair long, but they also want ideas on how to style it.
15 Best Long Hairstyles for Men
Whether you want to go long or need some inspiring ideas on how to rock this look, we’re here to help. Read on to check out our gallery of hairstyles for men with long hair, as they’ll definitely help inspire your next look:
1. Curly Hairstyles For Men With Long Hair
Go for an updated take on grunge hair by rocking your natural curls. The key to this look is to regularly wash and condition your hair to keep it nourished and hydrated. Try Dove Men+Care Thick & Strong Fortifying 2-in-1 Shampoo and Conditioner whose formula works to help men’s long hair look full and healthy-looking.
2. Braided Updo
Want to rock the braided hair look but don’t know how to maintain it? No problem! Why not try a cool braided updo that you can rock wherever life takes you? Just be sure to invest in a good hair tie (no rubber bands, please, as these can snag) that won’t rip or tug at your long hair.
3. Grown-Out Beard
Who says that long locks is only reserved for your hair? Long hairstyles for men can also apply to facial hair! We’ve seen tons of cool long beards and mustaches popping up on the scene lately, and we’re all for it. The key is to maintain and groom your beard and to get regular trims to avoid overgrown hairs, split ends and coarse strands. Keep your beard clean and hydrated by washing it with SheaMoisture Men Maracuja Oil & Shea Butter Beard Wash.
4. Afro
Rock your long hair with an afro. With this look, some guys can use a bit of pomade, like AXE Smooth Look: Classic Pomade, to help groom areas like the hairline and sideburns. Otherwise, it’s a classic look that only needs the help of the occasional hair pick for shaping and volume.
5. Extra Length
If you want to go really long, then you’ll need to take care of your hair by getting regular trims and washing and conditioning your glorious mane. Just like with women’s hair, you may also find that your hair needs some extra nourishment from a weekly hair mask. To give your hair some extra TLC, try Suave Almond + Shea Butter Moisture Mask. This intensive mask’s formula can hydrate your long hair, making it soft and manageable.
6. Classic Braid
If you have long hair (or want long hair), you also need an array of hairstyle options to break up wearing it down all the time. Go for a classic braided hairstyle, or maybe you’re daring and up for trying something more intricate? Our braids section is a good place to start to discover the right braided look for you.
7. Braided Half Up Style
Another long hairstyle for men to master is this cool braided half-up hairstyle. Not only can you still rock your long hair, but you’ll also be able to showcase a cool accent braid—all while getting your hair out of your face. That’s quite the win-win hairstyle idea.
8. Man Bun
In the summer, the man bun really wins as a style to help long-haired guys get the locks off their necks. Check out our full man bun tutorial to master this cool look.
9. Dutch Braided Hairstyle
You know, braids aren’t just for women. If your hair is long enough, why not step out of your comfort zone with your style? A dutch braid is a great way to keep your hair out of your face in a way that’s more interesting than a basic ponytail. If your hair isn’t long enough to do a full braid, do a half-updo!
10. Side Parted Long Hairstyles for Men
Sometimes the best long hairstyle for men is just showing off your natural texture. If you want to add more style or shape to your look, try a deep side part like this look. Doing this type of part can also add extra lift and volume at the root.
11. Deadlock Ponytail
Dreadlocks are such a popular long hairstyle for men, especially those with natural hair. If you get tired of always having your dreadlocks down, keep them out of your face by doing a simple ponytail. Not only is it practical, but the look will also be a lot more interesting with the addition of the dreadlocks as opposed to hair that’s brushed back normally.
12. Long Hairstyle for Men with Undercut
Going for an all-around longer look is great, but it never hurts to play around with lengths. If you want longer hair, but also want to try out a style that is unique opt for an undercut. You can go for a drastic undercut like this or one that is more subtle or just on one side of your head. The great thing about undercuts is when you’re ready to say goodbye to the long locks, you have the easiest transition ever.
13. Half Updo
Half updos are such an easy way to pull your hair back if it’s on the longer side, but not quite long enough to fit into a ponytail. It’s also a great style to wear if you have longer hair, but want the focus on your beard.
14. Voluminous Curls
If your hair is naturally voluminous and curly, embrace the texture! If you’re worried about any frizz, use a leave-in conditioner like Suave Men Leave-In Conditioner With Shea Butter & Coconut Oil. We love this leave-in product because it deeply moisturizes hair while taming any frizz.
15. Wavy Long Hairstyles for Men
Once you grow your hair out, you may notice that your strands have a bit of waviness and texture to them. If that’s the case, embrace the beachy look. Are you thinking about trying out one of these styles? Be sure to grab a picture and tag us @AllThingsHairUS!
