4 Years After Finding Out I Have Curly Hair! Since Then I've Started To Cut And Layer It Myself, Never Gonna Need A Hairdresser Again
Never Had A Haircut In My Entire Life. Only Trims
Almost Cut My Hair Last Week. Reddit Talked Me Out Of It
Why do guys get such gorgeous curls, and even curly-haired women have to struggle to get it to look that good.
In their own words, the Fierce Flow community is “a subreddit for men with long (er) hair to share tips, progress pictures, anecdotes, or anything else.” And as you can see from this list, the group’s 214K members share some amazing pics. I have to admit that I’m quite jealous of some of the fluffy curls and thick manes that I’ve seen while scrolling through the subreddit.
And if you’re interested in starting your own long hair journey, you’ve come to the right place! There are plenty of beauty and hair care experts out there who can guide you through the process of growing out a luscious head of hair. According to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, the hair on your head should be growing about 6 inches a year, and you’ll need about 12-14 inches of hair to have shoulder-length locks. So if you dedicate two years to growing, you’ll have a long mane in no time!

Do Women Actually Like Men With Long Hair? What Are Your Guys Thoughts On Being Assumed Fruity Or Gay Just For Having Long Hair?
As a woman who worked for 20+ years in a typically "male" profession I think it's about time gender stereotypes go away. You do you! You're doing it fabulously, by the way.
Hubby's hair was almost waist length when we met, now it's just below his shoulders and I love it!
Personally I'm jealous .....but I love long hair on most men. 1 of my sons has long, long dark curly hair it's awsome
But just because you need time to grow out your hair doesn’t mean you should simply not touch it at all for two years. Geoffrey C. Whittaker at Hims recommends getting your hair trimmed occasionally, to ensure that it stays healthy. This will also allow you to keep your hair shaped and styled nicely, so you don’t end up with a mullet during the growing process (unless that's what you're going for!).
Another important factor to consider is how and when you wash your hair. You definitely don’t need to be doing this every day. In fact, if you have a dry scalp, you might even be able to go nearly a week between washes. This lets your hair soak up its natural oils and prevents you from losing too much hair down the drain.

Definitely Too Feminine For Most Dudes, But The Braid Is The Best Way To Keep The Hair Out Of Your Face
Pfft. I don't like wegen the argument is "to feminine". It's beautiful and all genders should be able to feel this. What's to feminine and why? What's bad about it or feels less "manly"? What's manly? This concept make people feel bad.
Back when I was in the Marines, I was going through awkward stages of growing my hair back out. As a woman it can be quite difficult because your hair isn't supposed to touch or go past the collar of your blouse, but yet is still too short to pull back into a bun or braid. One of my roommates who lived in the barracks with me, suggested that I put my hair into corn rows, which was the perfect solution, so I thought. My roomie put my hair into 5 or 6 braids and I was grateful to not have to worry about what to do with my hair everyday before work. Well unfortunately my command told me I couldn't wear my hair in corn rows because I'm white. I argued that I was within regulations for female hairstyles in uniform but they said that it was only appropriate for me to have 1 or 2 braids. I'm hoping that things have changed since then but unfortunately sometimes braids are more than gender specific.

What Do You Think Of The Braids?
As far as what to put on your locks when showering, Whittaker suggests getting a shampoo that doesn’t have any harsh chemicals. And when you lather up, try to massage it into your scalp, rather than into your hair. Then apply a conditioner to the tips of your hair to keep them moisturized. This is the best way to get soft, healthy, luxurious hair!

At the same time, you want to treat your hair kindly while you’re growing it out. Bleach, hair dye and products that apply heat to your hair will only hinder the growing process. Try not to blow dry too often, and be aware that sea salt and chlorine aren’t great for your mane either. Before swimming, give your hair a rinse. Or better yet, wear a swim cap! Your amazing locks will thank you later.

Unfortunately, not all men will be able to maintain a luscious mane forever. In fact, about 70% of men will lose their hair at some point. So if you start to notice signs of male pattern baldness, a fabulous head full of surfer waves may not be in your future. But you can try to treat the symptoms! Start taking dihydrotestosterone (or DHT), and be very gentle with your locks.

My Stylist Got The Chops
Not many people can rock that late 70's haircut with bangs, but you certainly can
The stylist should be sent to The Hague to ICC, because this haircut is a crime against humanity.
As tempting as it may be to try out braids, buns, ponytails and more as you grow out your hair, this might not be productive. Tight hairstyles can put a huge strain on your scalp and hair, leading to unnecessary hair loss. You might even end up with traction alopecia, which is a nightmare if you’re trying to maintain a thick head of hair. And as amazing as it would look to dye your luscious locks, this can backfire if it means that your hair will be damaged and start breaking off or falling out.

Keep those beautiful locks looking beautiful. That means getting it trimmed and kept clean.
In general, it’s best to be extremely gentle with your hair when growing it out. Protect it from sun damage, let it air-dry whenever possible, and start taking supplements to promote its growth. Biotin gummies might seem like an unnecessary addition to your daily routine, but you’ll be glad you started taking them when the compliments on your amazing head of hair start pouring in.

I like him. He seems like a very confident, cool, and fun guy. (Men have no idea that one of the things that attracts women, aside from kindness and tenderness, is a great sense of humor—-NOT being hypermasculine, or tough, or a badass, or a gangster, or any of that b******t that really only impresses other men. No. If a man can make a woman laugh, especially if she’s had a really rough day, he will have a very special place in her heart. If he’s so confident in himself and his masculinity that he’d be willing to look/act/sound ridiculous just to try and make her feel better, he will endear himself to her forever. Of course, puerile pranks, as well as insult, bathroom, racist, sexist, homophobic, and other cruel and unfunny types of “humor” will have the opposite effect—-again because those are things that are only funny to other men. Quit trying to impress and entertain other guys, guys, and start concentrating on impressing and entertaining the women in your life, if you want them to actually want to be around you.)

Some coconut oil or argan oil would help with the frizziness, but, if your hair is fine, then the oils can make it lanky. Ask a good hairdresser may be able to offer advice on how to tame the frizz, so it will look much healtbier.
I agree, maybe some anti-frizz smoothing serum might help.

Smart woman. If you have long hair it should be washed and conditioned regularly. If you have long straight hair, a brush is a good companion. 100 strokes per day will give you the shiniest, best-looking hair.

I'm not sure about the cut of the dress. Maybe a more wavy dress or a business dress would fit them more. But I really like that they feel pretty in a dress with long beard and hair. I want to see more free expressions in these days
That was my first thought to! Great hair, the dress cut though. I'm sure there are more flattering dresses for his figure. But if he feels confident in it, yay for him!

2 Years Of Growing My Mane
Just going by the color variations of their hair and the overall length, pretty sure that their hair was already a good length when they decided to grow it out, 2 years ago. Even though men's hair typically grows faster than a women's, on average it grows about 6 inches per year. I don't think this person went from having a buzz cut, 2 years ago to the length it is now but either way they have nice hair.

This Is My Hair, About 2 1/2 Years Of Growth And No Heat Or Product Ever. 👍
U need some product and heat. That frizzyness goes away alot if you blow dry it and don't let it air dry. Air drying is actually damaging to your hair and causes it to get frizzy and unhealthy. U don't need alot of product either I use a blow out cream and a leave in conditioner( I'm cheap too so it's not like crazy expensive stuff) and then just blow dry it. Ur hair looks curly though and I don't have experience with that but I def know the few things I said would help your hair immensely.
Don't get me wrong it's a great mane! Just the crazy difference it will make by doing those few small things is life changing! I hated my hair for a very very long time until I let it get long once and learned the basic easy to do stuff (cuz I'm lazy) and it's now something that if I don't do my hair goes back to crazy after a shower. Hope you try it just once even u will be amazed. Good luck on your hair journey!

I envy these guys! But not the hair, rather the energy and willingness to deal with it and it's maintenance. After over 15 years of wearing my hair short, I decided to grow them out. They got way past my shoulders when I finally gave up and cut them again 😅 The neverending strands in my eyes, my mouth, the knots, the time it took to wash and dry it! I just couldn't anymore, despite loving the look. Total time of wearing a mane: around 15 months.
