Having fabulous hair is a massive privilege. If you’ve got a full head of luscious locks, you probably receive compliments constantly. People want to know what products you’re using, how you’re styling it, what your secret is for keeping it so healthy and how long it took you to grow it. And they’ll be even more impressed if you’re a man with incredible hair!

To celebrate men around the world who have some of the most impressive manes we’ve ever seen, we took a trip to the Fierce Flow subreddit. The guys featured on this list are definitive proof that anyone who wants to grow out their hair can look amazing while doing it. So enjoy scrolling through, and be sure to upvote the pics that inspire you to skip your next haircut!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Would have a crush if I were a teen. I really like the Asian/native American/ whatever look with golden brown skin, dark hair and these dark almond eyes. I favoured my similar to Pocahontas doll over all the Barbies I've seen in adds

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.

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.)

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.

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.

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'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
