Tori, being that I am ex-military, lived most my life to the conformity of society's standards, and basically walked this earth without my own identity, I could never look back with finding my identity as a man with my hair growing. I feel more empowerment from my hair than I do anything else. When I think of Sampson's story of strength, I feel I'm literally on the same page. I have more self-esteem with long hair and more so, I feel utmost confidence. Pride. Plain and simple. I have the testosterone of a Viking God and the compassion of a nurturing mother, (probably why I'm a damn good nurse) and all because I have found myself, believe it or not, through my hair...

:thumbsup: Lovely, just lovely..

[Neodrache]

I laughed so hard.. omg.. hahahaa... I will post a picture of a shirt I made at home..

YOU .... WILL.... LOVE IT........

[daredevil14]

Neodrache, nice hair man! The beard definitely suits you. Now I see the reason why we are always being compared to Jesus Christ! :D

yoni, I wonder how much time do I still need to reach your length, way to go man! All the styles you've been trying lately suit you well!

As for me, I finally completed a few days ago my 3rd year anniversary of growing my hair! Below are 2 new pics, one is after my hair air-dried from a shower (1st one; the light definitely reflects my hair "better") and the 2nd one is a 2nd-day hair.

yoni, thanks man, I gotta start learning how to put my hair in a bun for work, ponytail is becoming "long" (not that it's wrong but better keep a low profile at work :D)

[yoni]

I think that once you'll get it it will be no problem for you, I'd suggest Sampsoneh's tutorial :D

[Lakiticni]

daredevil14, I don't know how to express my thoughts of how great your curls are!

Neodrache, nice idea for that shirt. From now on, if someone bothers you about having long hair, you can just turn around and let them know what you think!

[Ocelan]

Wowee, the curls you've got going on there daredevil!

Plus, if someone still says Neodrache doesn't look like Faramir (http://users.sau56.org/ASweeney4/assets/faramir4.jpg) (well, maybe a slightly more masculine version of Faramir and now with longer hair!), then I'm very visually impaired. Compare!

[Haybop]

gthlvrmx - those are amazing curls you managed to get :D And a french braid with a tux is a brilliant thought, it looks perfect for a prom!

Neodrache/Faramir/Thor - The tunic is very well tailored... and I love the hammer (tho' could probably never carry it myself, not being from Asgard or worthy enough and all ;P). Was there any particular place you were going to in that outfit or was it more of a 'why not' thing?

[yoni]

gthlvrmx - you have awesome hair! :D
and yeah, my own hair gets much much longer when it's not exactly in its natural way either xD

[Lakiticni]

gthlvrmx, french braid with tuxedo, you are doing it like a sir :)
Neodrache, make yourself some leather armor and you are a true viking soldier then! You could even make a small business out of it - make viking clothes and sell to people for cosplay or whatever the need it for.

going on week 4 and about to start my RN BSN program @ Kansas Wesleyan University and nobody has said anything yet. If anyone tries to say something about hair, I would end up fighting it legally. lol. Your hair is CRAZY curly and looks awesome as well! Keep it up! My goal is tip of my butt crack or "48-50 inches." :hifive:

When your well spoken and well educated and think outside societies box, your cast out of societies cultural norms. It's good to be the 1% :pins: I'm more blunt than a butter knife but I can verbally cut you in two! :wigtongue:

I just like making stuff. I honestly believe that my descendants were some type of crafting people. I looked up my last name which is "Stalnaker" and it dates back to Prussian decent. Unfortunately, since I don't know who my real father is, I will never know my true history. :boohoo:


Neodrache, make yourself some leather armor and you are a true viking soldier then! You could even make a small business out of it - make viking clothes and sell to people for cosplay or whatever the need it for.

Funny you said this, because I have been looking into what It takes to craft armor out of leather. I was on a website looking through images of those who do it for cosplay and larping. The artisan crafter's were UH-MAZING! Like mind blowing leather-working skills. The armor looked so real and very artistic indeed!


Oh and how could I forget to comment about how freaking EPIC those pictures are Neodrache!! you sure have a talent and look like a real viking :D

Yoni, your too kind brother, too kind! Every man has to face the challenges of self-esteem with ones physical self, however beauty and plain physical attraction is defined through every individual themselves, so I feel more comfortable to have the compassion of true care from 50% of the people and then 50% of the people I'll piss off with my "Unique" self. LOL! I always told myself, "Why is it a woman is more esoteric with her natural feelings towards a man in his "natural" form? How come when we pull ourselves away from what our govn't and media tells us we should look like and live on what these two "Conformity Monsters" deem worthy as to instinctual attraction and beauty? Oh wait, forgot.. 1% again... When you climb Maslow's Hierarchy of needs, you climb a pyramid. All I can say is, it sure lonely when you get to the top, but it feels so good to look down at everyone else..(Sorry, elitism stems from years and years of perfection and constantly being held down by others.)

I judge a man/woman not on their cover but as to their intentions as a human. I highly respect those who are natural in look as far as physicality is concerned, but I don't cast you out of my compassionate/empathetic world if you conform to societies clutches. In my eyes, your all vikings and barbarians. :hatchet:

[Lakiticni]

flemeister, your ends look like they want to curl. Have u tried using acidic rinses to see if you have more wavy, or even a bit curly hair? Or you are already doing them and that is the reason for your ends being like that?
Anyway, make sure you put some images after you wash it so we can see it in its full glory! :)

I tend to tuck my hair behind my ears, so that would be contributing to the curls on the sides. :)

Tried my first weak white vinegar rinse a few hours ago, just 1 teaspoon WV to 1 cup of water, and it's added a bit of shine, and mostly gotten rid of any itchiness on the scalp. Thanks for the suggestion! I'm loving these kinds of cheap, easy and effective treatments. :)

It didn't bring out any waves or curls, though like you said, it's definitely trying to be at least slightly wavy. Probably just needs more length before it really shows up, like how you see photos of people with mid-back/BSL hair, and their natural waves don't start until below their chin or shoulders. Gotta wait and see I guess.

Thanks again! :)

EDIT: Here's a photo taken after a few hours after doing the WV rinse, just after it finished drying. Still has a teeny bit of coconut oil in it from yesterday, probably why it looks a bit damp:

[spirals]

flemeister, it is pretty common for wavies/curlies to have tighter curls around the face/nape. So those might actually be curls arond your ears.

[Neodrache]

Flemeister, nice hair brother! Keep it up! Man, I remember when I pulled into port in Australia, place was beautiful. Our Naval Ship pulled into Townsville and Darwin.. beach was awesome! Veggimate was nasty though.. LOL!

[flemeister]

Thanks!


Veggimate was nasty though.. LOL!
Did someone tell you to "apply it liberally" to your toast? That's a classic trick. :cool:

I'm experimenting a bit now. Just a simple white vinegar rinse today, see how it is when it dries. Tomorrow wash it + WV rinse, no oiling, then leave it to dry and check for curlies. And no tucking it behind the ears, gonna see if it wants to loop-the-loop on its own. :)

I also brushed it today when it was still fairly damp. Tomorrow will try brushing it when it's soaking wet. From what I've read this depends on whether you've got wavy or curly hair. Or do you prefer no combing or finger combing if you've got wavy/curly hair?

[Neodrache]

Did someone tell you to "apply it liberally" to your toast? That's a classic trick. :cool:

Nope I spread that **** like peanut butter... and that's why I could never try it again.. HAHA!

[daredevil14]

So I decided to stop misting my hair with water in the morning or after I wake up since water here has been causing more frizz lately. This is a 2nd hair picture after sleeping twice, also not under the light which usually gives me a better "shine". I still get frizz anyway, my head is a combination of frizz, waves and curls, I have yet to find someone with the same head as me. :D

[brindlebabe]

You have hair of a beautiful color Neodrache! Growing hair is a thing of patience. lol Don't worry, give it 3 years and you'll probably have what you want. Of course, by then, you may want even more. :) How do you usually wear it? in a pony, braid, or just let it go free? My brother has hair to BSL and I taught him how to braid it. Braids are very good for windy weather! Keeps it from getting tangled the way a ponytail would. I would post a picture of his hair but he is shy and won't allow it. :(

[Flournoy]

thanks yoni, it is pretty thick but kind of poofy

[flemeister]

thanks yoni, it is pretty thick but kind of poofy
Like it springs out to shoulder width when it's left loose?

Looks like you've got a nice big ponytail circumference as well. Moar photos please! :)

Well, not shoulder width, but it can get big. its not as much of a problem now though as the length is starting to pull it down. Growing out was a nightmare for a bit. I'll try get a few more pics.

[yoni]

Oh I totally understand, my hair sort of started as a big black Jewfro sheep :D and it loves to get poofy even if past Waist length should have had tones it :( so it's hard to have thick hair I guess, but you manage with what you have, I almost always go with buns, since they take like 15 seconds to do, and even can be done with shoulder length hair! :)

Gents I need some advice. My son is growing out a #2 razor cut and his hair is starting to get in his eyes. He wants to have it "long enough to put sticks in it" but I'm not sure how to keep it out of his face while it goes through the awkward phase. I wore a bandana to get through it with my hair but he has rejected the bandana. Any ideas? He is five.

Normally I let it fly free, for work (since I'm a Nurse) I have to wear it up in a pony tail. Sometimes I have a fishtail braid, but need to learn how to do more braids.

February 2013. Flexi-8. Think I'm going to wear my hair like this with semi-formal in a few months. My hair's naturally quite straight with a few waves where it conforms to my body shape (e.g. shoulders) but I braid before sleeping.

Trying to convince my boyfriend to do his hair like this but to no avail. I just love how elegant it looks.

Anyway, I hope it is okay that I share his hair for him:

It might look fine loose while it grows out, you could try some 50's pomade do's but I don't think that is hardly tolerable for a youngin but he might be different. Maybe cornrows?

If it doesnt bother him when it gets in his eyes maybe just let him deal with it? I just sucked it up and wore hats when I couldnt take it from time to time.

Not a gent, either, but I have a DS (18 yrs). When my boy was small, he wore hair gel/hairspray mohawks, baseball caps, and sweatbands. The hairspray mohawks were his favorite. Spritz with water mister, push into place with hands, then shellac the dickens out of it with hairspray. He might be too small to use the hairspray--those spraycans aren't easy for little hands to operate--but can probably do most of it himself! He can also emulate rock stars with their shaggy manes. Good luck!

Nice hair, boys! I always love the eye-candy on this thread! :popcorn:

Thanks for all the ideas! He has mentioned a couple times that he doesn't like hair in his eyes but he hasn't demanded a solution to it yet. I just want to be prepared with a few more ideas should that time come.

[yoni]

What about parting his hair in the middle?

[neko_kawaii]

What about parting his hair in the middle?

He has a dramatic cowlick that might interfere with that, but maybe with some gel can be beat into submission. Hehe. I've never used gel or hairspray on my own hair, so this is new territory for me.

[flemeister]

If/when his hair is long enough, maybe some stealthy little bobby pins to pin the front hairs behind his ears? Until it's long enough to stay there by itself.

Or suggest that he do a David Beckham/Paul Hunter and use an alice band. At least to see how he reacts... :D

Actually this zig-zaggy thin/wirey one didn't look too bad on Paul Hunter imo: Youtube -- 2004 Snooker Masters Final Ronnie O'Sullivan vs Paul Hunter Frame 9-19 (http://youtu.be/9PJczlj3WJY?t=5m47s)

[flemeister]

I've never used gel or hairspray on my own hair, so this is new territory for me.
For work, when my hair was only long enough for a stubby ponytail, I used to gel back the front half of my hair, then secure it with some [admittedly, conspicuously placed] bobby pins as well. Without the pins the front hairs would gradually fall down and get in my face and ears. This worked great until my hair was long enough to use the pins behind my ears, out of sight. Still a few months before I don't need them at all. :)

[browneyedsusan]

@ neko_kawaii: Ya, "gel" and "hairspray" are dirty words to some on TLHC. I've used both with reckless abandon, and have never had problems with either. No damage, and they rinse out easily.

[Neodrache]

Rawr!Rawr!Rawr!Rawr!

[jrmviola]

Neko-kawaii what about small tight brades against his head then secured with small clear bands? Even if his hair is so short, if the brade is small enough it might work (Im not sure what the terminology is). if he is against "girl styled hair" then if you dont use "girl products" like bobby pins etc (not saying bobby pins are only girl products, but he might think that...), then you might be able to sneak in a few styles anyways. ( i babysit small kids for a living)... styling gel comes in different colors and if he likes certain cartoons he could try to be a new character everyday (the hair) until it grows longer... if you can get his hair past this initial stage then it outta be downhill from here... you could glue leggos to the bands and he can be a logo character from the legos video games... stuff like that...

Unfortunately his hair is still too short for braids (compounded by being very fine and slippery). I tried gel in damp hair once since asking for advice here and he hated it. He wouldn't even let it dry to find out what it looked like but went into the bathroom and washed it out. On the upside, he hasn't complained since the gel incident about his hair being in his eyes and he maintains that he likes it the way it is.

I have noticed that there are a few boys at his school with nice long braids!

Is it sun-bleached then? I have a friend whose hair become golden blonde because from the sun, and her roots are medium brown - it looks stunning.
What length are you aiming for?

i think it is from the sun. i live in florida and it has gotten a lot more blonde than when i was getting cuts. I'm aiming for brad pitts length when he recently had it long or like kurt cobain shoulder length style. i think i have the same hair type.

I think you'll get there in no time - Kurt Cobain's hairdo is a great look btw. And you're very fortunate that your hair gets that amazing colour just from the sun, so you don't have to bleach it with peroxide like he did ;) much more TLHC-friendly, I believe.

It's a pity that where I live long hair is not that appreciated, so I decided to join you long haired brothers and feed my ego a bit ;)
Forgive the messy bush in the pic, I decided to take it with uncombed hair to be also able to type it and see what it looks like when left completely wild.

It's nice to see so many guys in this thread, all with really awesome hair, it's somewhat stimulating to see all these amazing manes! It was a really great idea to have a thread for us boys.

bloody northern hemisphere :/ I wish I could find out what it's like to have so much sunshine all the time...
also, winter is coming. that means even less sunshine, SAD and -20 degrees. and grey snow-slush. Not. Looking. Forward. To. That. AT ALL.

Alright to be more specific I meant 'temperate climate' - not the whole Northern Hemisphere :D

I know. I'm in the midwest US, bordering Canada. My hair stays reletively dark, though I do tan every summer. I miss the sun in winter. It's out today, though, and it's gorgeous.

bleh, we didn't really have proper spring this year; it was snowing during Easter and it was extremely cold until mid-May. We had a few heat waves in the summer but I feel like the weather owes us +20 C in November as a reimbursement for skipping spring :/
it rained today :/

Hmm, summer coming soon down here. Some trips to the pool and relaxing hour-long walks should lighten mine a bit more. Can't wait! :joy:


flemeister, your ends look like they want to curl. Have u tried using acidic rinses to see if you have more wavy, or even a bit curly hair? Or you are already doing them and that is the reason for your ends being like that?
Anyway, make sure you put some images after you wash it so we can see it in its full glory! :)

flemeister, it is pretty common for wavies/curlies to have tighter curls around the face/nape. So those might actually be curls arond your ears.

It's definitely wavy/curly! They start at about ear level at the moment. :)

Been doing regular WV rinses as recommended, followed by gently brushing while still soaking wet, then not touching it again until fully dried. Also needed a bit more length for the curls/waves to really show up. Thanks very much for the tips, else I would've gone on thinking it was just unruly straight hair! :o

No photos at the moment, it looked like a coconut oil slick when I tried taking some today, even though it doesn't look that way in person. :shrug:

[Wondrous Alice]

Daredevil your hair is seriously gorgeous...I just stared at these pics for five minutes straight! I've always wanted spiral curls like that...mine is so straight and has to be curled wet to dry and even then the curls fall. :shrug:

[Crabbyco]

Flemeister, put down the brush! My hair would be straight if I brushed when it's wet. Finger combing and then gentle scrunching will help your waves come out to play.

flemeister, I'd suggest that you follow the routine that we wavy/curly people follow; try to only wet-comb when you wash (or CO-wash) your hair and then let it air dry!

This is my boyfriend's hair (This isn't one of his best "hair days"). He let it grow since January 2011. Although he doesn't take care of his hair, I like how it looks. Sometimes I give him some advices about, but he don't always listen :P

Love this thread! I'll have to find & figure out how to post some photos of my hubby's hair. It's about as long as mine is! (I'm at waist. He's a foot taller than me, though, so it's mid-back abyss for him.) He's not deliberately growing it out or anything. He just likes it long, and I do too! I just wish he took care of it like you gents here do! Y'all look fantastic!

[maskedrose]

Neodrache, love your recent pics, and your hammer is awesome. Great photos on here overall, I've always been a sucker for these threads. You all look amazing!



Side note: oh man...I was floored by the redhead at 0:26 of the video flemeister posted :crush:

[swords & roses]

Well darn. I don't seem to be allowed to post photos in the forums yet. Bother, lol!

I love Hubby's hair! I just wish he would actually take care of it! >_< It's probably close to 2 feet long (from his hairline over the back of his head), thick, soft, & strong. But he lets it get so greasy, washing it only once a week or so. And he NEVER brushes or combs it. It's so tangled all the time! I'm surprised it doesn't start turning into dreads. The only time it gets brushed is when I brush it for him.

I have chosen not to tell him about the thinning starting up at the back of his head........... yet. :P

This is my best friend's hair (a little wet). He has a short layer, so the volume in the down part looks strange to me. But anyway, his hair is awesome. He always takes care of his hair with many crappy products, but now, I'm learning too much and I am giving him some advices ;)

[TimeForMe]

My Italian husband is 54, and has had longer hair on and off. I really love it longer on him, but he has to get past the "funky curl up/flip" at the nape of his neck before he's happy with it, every time. Currently it's not-quite-ponytailable length, and I'm cheering him on. He has jet black hair with white-silver grey now, especially his temples. I think it's hot as heck.

Were your hair darker, you'd look like a tall Thorin Oakenshield, and that is beyond awesome and hott!

Ed

DH has a pretty nice beard going, and is starting to grow out his high and tight. He keeps talking smack about how nice his long hair was when we met and married in the early 90's before he got it cut in 1999. (we both used to use the Mane-n-tail products back in the day) He says that he might join LHC if he can grow it out like he says he will; also to all my "LHC friends" he says "hello". I don't know if he could hang here though; I'm sure he would 100% have to ignore any non-hair threads or his head might explode. Plus he might have to cut his hair for the job search, so I dunno if it's in the cards.

[Ocelan]

Neodrache, I don't know if you were just going through a weak moment there, if you were kidding or if you are really feeling like that constantly, but if I were you I would just not mind the general population that has been fooled by the media and other influences like that. Those influences are pushing some thin and sad looking Twilight stars and slicked androgynous things that you have to examine for minutes to see which sex they represent. That in my opinion is not what women like. They are just fooled to like them and btw, I for one am not going in that trap.

You have the look that has been programmed in our female genes to be found attractive. Programmed in the beginning of the human species, not decided by fashion last week. I've studied enough evolutionary psychology to know this. Things that women are attracted to (and what men are jealous of in other men):
- muscles (this also has to do with shoulder to waist ratio, a V shaped body is most desired in men)
- beards and some amount of body hair
- angular face features (which is considered more masculine whereas softer features are ore feminine)
- a good head of hair (which lets the possibly mates know you're healthy)

These traits all link to the amount of testosterone in men. I find that you possess all of these traits and I can't find anything in you that would be unattractive. Compare yourself and some of the skinny Hollywood celebrities of today with these traits and you'll find that many of the celebrities are the opposite of that is naturally desirable. Something's gone very wrong here and it should not be you who has to feel bad. Well, there is this thing where men who are slightly more feminine are taken to take care of the kids (aka settled for because they are the caring type, which should not be an issue for you since you have the best of both world taken your profession to account) whereas the handsome manly man is the subject of pure animalistic attraction, which should be good news for you as I presume you're happily in a relationship and only perhaps want the attention of women and possibly also secretly jealous other men.

And if you still don't believe me, then don't worry as not the whole female population has been turned towards those sickly Hollywood creatures as there are also a lot of movies like the ones Becky listed that have come out are are coming out that have men just like you, one of them being the Hobbit series, which btw has influenced a lot of men to grow their hair and beards because they saw how cool it was for Thorin and others. And those characters make us traditional women swoon and hope such manly men existed outside the screen. That's where you come in. I believe you're probably the main character of many daydreams in your area (and I hope that doesn't make you feel objectified, it's just probably true so I said it). Even I must say that even though I usually don't go for the blonde, there's just something irrisistable about your looks.

I know how these self consciousness and self confidence things go though. I've had problems with them for years and I know that no matter how someone suddenly says you look great it doesn't change the fact that if you've been told you're ugly for 20 years, you're not going to suddenly believe you're attractive. I'm not saying you necessarily have experiences like this but I do. Even a few bad comments can ruin it for you and then it will be really hard to get back to liking yourself. And if you were just having a moment of weakness and otherwise you usually think you're gorgeous, then that's great! I also wish to get there sometime before this life ends.

Wow, that was a long rant, but I'm not good with explaining myself in short... My apologies for anyone who had the patience to read that. :doh:

Feeling lonesome tonight, Neodrache? :redgrin:

Man, I didn't expect to get that kind of response! =D

I have been told that I resemble many many characters in medieval/mythological/fantasy movies. I thank you all for the responses and I only wish that people would wake up and smell the truth about who we are and how we ought to be/look. It amazes me to how much we judge one another based off of cultural norms. If I'm excepted as a awesome movie character, how come its not accepted much in the real world? Who knows. I say this with my own quote: "Ignorance is bliss to the masses, but in the eyes of those with wits and intelligence, this world we live in becomes a prison and your entire life becomes an escape."

@ Neodrache: Deep down, everyone is insecure and self-conscious--at least sometimes. It's normal, and saves us from being egotistical idiots.
Sharing at the risk of turning you into a conceited moron: you're a head-turner. Don't let anyone tell you different. If I saw you IRL, I'd probably put my back out with double takes. You hair and beard are unusual, and you're confident enough to wear them. Attractive qualities. Very attractive.

That said, everyone has different taste.
Story: DD (16 yrs) and I were visiting a friend and her daughter at college a few weekends ago. During lunch at a local restaurant, a couple of young men walked in with long hair and full beards. DD and I were mopping drool off the table, and our friends were all "Eww! They'd be so hot if they'd get haircuts and shave!" DD and I were gobsmacked. How could anyone not adore those manly whiskers?!?? We told them they were out of their minds, and ate up the eye-candy. LOL!
You'll never please everyone. Please yourself first, and the ones that are worth it will come with. :thumbsup:

Neodrache your hair is awesome and that is one good looking beard. I must admit I am quite jealous.

Everyone i have seen here has hair to be proud of,
Happy growing Gentlemen

[FuzzyBlackWaves]

Pretty sure you're amazingly attractive with or without hair Neodrache. We're not programmed to find ourselves attractive, if we did we'd never leave the house and multiply with others.

[Sillage]

Long_Hair_Bear, beautiful hair and cheekbones on your husband!

Mnementh, looks like you have some gorgeous waves... I love dark wavy hair on men. Something about it just drives me wild. Hope to see post pics sometime!

[Lunearia]

This thread is so full of awesome! Daredevil, your hair texture is amazing.

[Neodrache]

BAM! Somehow this thread got bumped again... I didn't do it.. Our Manly Manes Did!!! =D

ETA: Frizzy as all hell today.. BOOOOOOO!

Long_hair_bear your boyfriend has a beautiful hair. I always think that buns look so good in guys with long hair :)
I wish my boyfriend leave me play with cool hairstyles on his hair. After being so persistent, he finally try CO wash, but his hair looked really messy this first week. So, I conviced him to made a preoil and a clarify today and I like the results. He didn't like too much, because his hair look more straight now... the whiny baby loves his waves :)

Whoa Almendra, what astonishing results! It doesn't look like the same person's hair since the color is so much darker :laugh: But I love the gentle waves and increased smoothness. That's quite a transformation.

Both pictures was taken with diferents cameras and lights, that's why they look so diferent :p.
Before take the second one I asked him to go outside to take the picture with natural light, because the flash of my camera is so bright, but he was kind of annoy because of the treatment so I didn't insist. When I showed the picture at him he was horrified "OMG, SO FLAT!" :rollin: But I think now it looks better and eventually he is going to get his waves back.

One of my friends confessed that her Darling Son was growing his whiskers after he heard my DD liked beards on men. Kids these days!

It doesn't look flat to me at all! And it's so much smoother looking now-- the second pic is by far my favorite. I think he has beautiful hair :)

Neodrache, I don't know if you were just going through a weak moment there, if you were kidding or if you are really feeling like that constantly, but if I were you I would just not mind the general population that has been fooled by the media and other influences like that. Those influences are pushing some thin and sad looking Twilight stars and slicked androgynous things that you have to examine for minutes to see which sex they represent. That in my opinion is not what women like. They are just fooled to like them and btw, I for one am not going in that trap.

You have the look that has been programmed in our female genes to be found attractive. Programmed in the beginning of the human species, not decided by fashion last week. I've studied enough evolutionary psychology to know this. Things that women are attracted to (and what men are jealous of in other men):
- muscles (this also has to do with shoulder to waist ratio, a V shaped body is most desired in men)
- beards and some amount of body hair
- angular face features (which is considered more masculine whereas softer features are ore feminine)
- a good head of hair (which lets the possibly mates know you're healthy)

These traits all link to the amount of testosterone in men. I find that you possess all of these traits and I can't find anything in you that would be unattractive. Compare yourself and some of the skinny Hollywood celebrities of today with these traits and you'll find that many of the celebrities are the opposite of that is naturally desirable. Something's gone very wrong here and it should not be you who has to feel bad. Well, there is this thing where men who are slightly more feminine are taken to take care of the kids (aka settled for because they are the caring type, which should not be an issue for you since you have the best of both world taken your profession to account) whereas the handsome manly man is the subject of pure animalistic attraction, which should be good news for you as I presume you're happily in a relationship and only perhaps want the attention of women and possibly also secretly jealous other men.

And if you still don't believe me, then don't worry as not the whole female population has been turned towards those sickly Hollywood creatures as there are also a lot of movies like the ones Becky listed that have come out are are coming out that have men just like you, one of them being the Hobbit series, which btw has influenced a lot of men to grow their hair and beards because they saw how cool it was for Thorin and others. And those characters make us traditional women swoon and hope such manly men existed outside the screen. That's where you come in. I believe you're probably the main character of many daydreams in your area (and I hope that doesn't make you feel objectified, it's just probably true so I said it). Even I must say that even though I usually don't go for the blonde, there's just something irrisistable about your looks.

I know how these self consciousness and self confidence things go though. I've had problems with them for years and I know that no matter how someone suddenly says you look great it doesn't change the fact that if you've been told you're ugly for 20 years, you're not going to suddenly believe you're attractive. I'm not saying you necessarily have experiences like this but I do. Even a few bad comments can ruin it for you and then it will be really hard to get back to liking yourself. And if you were just having a moment of weakness and otherwise you usually think you're gorgeous, then that's great! I also wish to get there sometime before this life ends.

Wow, that was a long rant, but I'm not good with explaining myself in short... My apologies for anyone who had the patience to read that. :doh:

Thanks for posting that! I agree. I think the celebrity world has emphasised one particular look (the teenage/ androgynous look) to the extent that we as a society are in danger of forgetting that what is in the media is not necessarily what we see in real life. And as that particular look is so highly rated, it seems the only look worth aspiring to for men!

But of course, there are plenty of people who don't solely go for the 'Twilight' style fellas. (thank goodness!)

In popular culture today, there is some hope: as others have mentioned above, Game of Thrones/ Lord of the Rings showcase men who look great yet do not conform to the 'teenage' look.

And a more obscure reference- but David Garrett, the German rock musician/ violinist? I include him here because he's not part of the 'fantasy' genre, yet he gets lots of compliments on his long blonde hair, and stubble.

Was that second pic taken half-way through doing a french braid, or is that a braided half-up? :D

You have similar hair to my boyfriend. Such a pretty color and texture.

He has a beautiful hair and also is very handsome. You're a lucky girl :)
My boyfriend doesn't like wear braids, buns or hair down... he only uses a low ponytail all the time. I wish one day I convice him to style his hair too :p

[Symphony]

My husband lets me play with his hair, but he hasn't quite got the confidence yet to wear these out in public. His hair is ALWAYS down, though. Even at work, one of his managers asked if he would be willing to put his hair up or cut it, and he said no, HAH. Luckily there is no policy there against men with long hair!

[flemeister]

It looks awesome. :) I've been wanting to do a half-up since seeing this photo below, and it's just been added to my to-do list! Half-up with Flexi-8 [and now with some kind of braid built-in!], english and french single braids for sleeping with and showing off. Need MOAR length first! rawr! :o

February 2013. Flexi-8. Think I'm going to wear my hair like this with semi-formal in a few months. My hair's naturally quite straight with a few waves where it conforms to my body shape (e.g. shoulders) but I braid before sleeping.

Show him this photo below! I only use a low ponytail as well, more out of necessity since I think I'm still unable to braid yet (too many layers from growing out from a buzzcut -- shortest layer only just reaches the elastic, longest layer almost at APL lol -- won't be cutting it till MBL though!).

I'll add my boyfriends hair to this! He's been thinking of joining up here for a while, but the lazy ... wants me to make his account for him! Hah!
He buzzed all his beautiful long hair off about 3 years ago, and he's been growing it back for a little over a year now, but to my great distaste he got an undercut 8 months ago, so now it's at an awkward stage, where it could be considered shoulder length but it looks really thin and straggley because it's less than half his hair that reaches his shoulders.

And yes, I snuck those pictures in when he was playing computer games, I did however get his permission. :D

It's funny because we have the EXACT same natural hair colour. But his is got cute little curls and mine is pin straight. I'd swap with him anyday!
And well done to all you guys with beautiful long hair, I won't even look twice at a man with short hair, long hair is so beautiful on both sexes!

He must have pretty thick hair if this is with an undercut, it looks really healthy too! I have to agree long hair looks great on both men and women. Unfortunately my husband can't have long hair while he's in the military :rolleyes:

Yep, I think he has very similar hair to me, fine, but thick too. And it is very healthy, it's very soft! Mostly because he doesn't blow dry it or anything, he uses my shampoo and co and my wide tooth combs... so, he can't go wrong with me around! Haha

Neodrache you have lost your damn mind :laugh:

Both beards are an absolute scream! Love your humor and whimsy. Btw, how long have you been doing crochet? Your pieces look very well executed in addition to be hilarious. And little man looks too cute with his grey beard. I love his eyes in the last pic--- what a cutie :)

[Neodrache]

Btw, how long have you been doing crochet?

Believe it or not, 2 days now. lol... I've always wanted to do it for retarded reasons but never took the time out for it..

My son said, "Tell that lady thank you and she's pretty! Is that her in the little picture thinggy?" ROFL... man, that boy is only 8 yrs old.. dear lord I hope not to deal with teenage years...

[Sillage]

2 days? You have got to be kidding me-- that's simply amazing Neodrache. I've tried many times to crochet but everything I make is hideous :laugh:. Really, you must have a gift for it as well as lots of natural manual dexterity and finesse. I understand what you mean by addictive tho. I do needlepoint and embroidery and they are both very relaxing and habit forming. Funny how things like that can be such a pleasant way to unwind. :)

That's not me in the pic, but please give your gentlemanly son my thank yous for his kind compliment. You're right to be worried-- only 8 and such a charmer!

[queenieheather]

That's a really nice and well executed beard there Neodrache, and your son's beard hat too. I've been meaning to make that long beard hat for myself (it might get mostly worn by DBF) too but haven't yet found the time and proper yarn for it. I've only crocheted a few times too and I must say compared to me you seem like a natural crocheter! None of my (so far made) 3 projects have been as good looking as yours. And I've been knitting for years before taking on crocheting, jeesh!

​Hey peeps! It's been about six months I think since the last time I posted (and even longer since the days I was rocking that fro). But seeing all these dudes with their badass long hair has inspired me to post some current photos.

​Usually my hair is naturally very wavy/curly (wurly?) but between having it in a ponytail, wearing a bandana at work and sleeping on it my hair ends up flatter and less wavy at the top and then starts to flare out at the bottom.

​I'm not sure if this would still be SL or if it would be APL now but if I pull the hair from the back of my head straight down it just barely reaches to where my armpit begins.

​I'm gonna try posting this from my iPad which has been giving me some trouble so let's see if this works? Lemme know if the photos don't show up.

Not going to lie, I wouldn't want my hair straight at all..might be a guy thing, I don't know.

[makeminea99]

Thanks for this thread, I've enjoyed it very much indeed!;) Aaah, my husband used to wear his hair long, it was a sleek jaw length bob when I met him in 1993, and he pretty much just let it grow, he's 6' tall so I think it eventually reached around navel level or thereabouts. Sadly, years of having to wear it ponytailed for work (he's a printer) was causing receding at the temples, so he had what I think is called a French crop (you know, like Tintin?) about 10-11 years ago. I wish he'd grow it out again though, but he doesn't want the receding to start again, so short it stays! He looks good both ways, mind you.
As my 'A' Level English teacher used to tell the boys in our class, "grow it while you've got it, lads!" in fact, I'd say that for lasses too. You never know what life may throw at you, so grow it and enjoy it! :)

[RootsOfMyHair]

I found a channel from another long haired man named Hairfreaky (http://www.youtube.com/user/hairfreaky/), He also has a facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/Hairfreakylonghair) (I'm sorry if somebody post this before, I searched it but I didn't find results in this thread)

Stunning curls Daredevil14! Love your color and spirals... so gorgeous.


I don't know why, but I found it funny that daredevils shirt said "Magicland". That's what the world would be for all the ladies if we men just did what was natural.


Oh dear, if that were the case I'd be walking into lampposts 24/4 :laugh:

I am a woman, but I do have a (almost) five year old son who aspires to have long hair. He wants his hair to look like Dave Navarro's and I am guessing it will only go on from there, especially since his first hair inspiration was Oliver Peck. I can't find nice pictures of them, but if you don't know their hair, Google them. I will have to post pictures of his hair journey every now and then on here for you guys. I am also going to show him all of your awesome hair because you men look so handsome with long hair. Some of his family (ok, most of it) has picked on him for wanting to grow his hair out, but now I think after seeing cool rocker dudes and other grown men with cool hair he will have confidence to stand up to them and tell them to go away. I told him he can wear his hear in all kinds of styles that I can learn on here (I have short hair and have never learned updos) and he thought that was a tad girly. I'll show him it can be very manly. Thank you guys so much!

I might post an image or two of my hair if I'm not too lazy to take them xD

[Scelesta]

I cant convince hubby to make an account here but he's given me permission to share pics!

His hair is past his shoulders, and perfectly straight, this was after i dyed it for him, its actually darkened to a more ashy blonde then this golden mess. (Thank the gods) I did like the gold but it looks so much better now( i dont have a pic of it now my camera died on me!)
He also shaved his beard short so the contrast of colors between his beard and hair isnt so painfully obvious.

I'll try and take a sneaky photo of my brother and put it on here. His hair is about shoulder-length and has been for a while

[Scarlet_Heart]

Oh my gosh, I have to take a shot in the dark here and ask if any of you guys work at a Walmart in New Hampshire.

I was with DH and my son today and saw this man there that I've seen a dozen times before but his hair was always pulled back and I didn't really notice. But he had his hair down today with a bandana keeping it off his face. :thud: It was brown and wurly and at least to his waist. I didn't say anything to DH because I didn't want him to get jealous, lol. But it was well-kept and very admirable.

[AliceRuth]

~gently nudges boyfriend towards this thread, "see, their hair is awesome! Now all you've got to do is be patient.."~ he really likes the look of the hair of a guy that works in a coffee shop near us, it's about to where his shoulder blades end, which is really uncommon for a guy around here. I'm encouraging him to try it for himself.

You've got some fantastic hair going on here gentlemen - here's to hoping you all inspire other guys to give long hair a go - keep it up! :)

Love your hair, DaddyLion. I can't answer your question though as mine is waist length. :)

[DaddyLion]

Thanks LHB. That's an old pic so it's a few inches longer now. Have you ever accidentally got your hair caught in anything? Must take ages to comb as well...

No, and no. Reflexes get pretty good for automatically avoiding things that would snag. Care isn't too much of a problem.

[MeAndTheMaz]

Seems like you'd have plenty of time to adjust. It's not like you've got shoulder length hair today, and knee length hair when you wake up tomorrow, so suddenly it's a hassle to deal with.

My hair's not much longer than yours, DaddyLion, but I've managed to tangle myself up in a drill once, and a little more disgustingly, a drain snake (the "RotoRooter" kind). Just be careful out there!

[Aderyn]

Seems like you'd have plenty of time to adjust. It's not like you've got shoulder length hair today, and knee length hair when you wake up tomorrow, so suddenly it's a hassle to deal with.

This is very true. People with shorter hair always ask me how I can deal with waist-length+ hair, and are even more surprised when I tell them I spend maybe 10 minutes total on my hair styling/detangling/etc. every day and maybe $5-10 a month. Not like long hair is incompatible with laziness, haha. I'd say I'm more prone to laziness now more than ever because I can just throw it up in a bun and forget it.

A fellow physics major here has straight, black hair just past APL and it looks fantastic and in great condition and was inspired to visit this thread again (may have been lurking a bit). Always nice to see men growing long, healthy manes! :D

This is The Truth! Can't be bothered to do anything with it? Put it in a bun. Too lazy to wash? Leave it in the bun and go on with your business. Going to go out and get utterly filthy? Bun and cover it!

How do you handle seatbelt friction? I've had mine sucked into the seatbelt thing when it pulls back up and it's a b*itch to get out without ripping.
(or am I just the clumsiest/hair accident prone person ever?)

That's my go-to. Usually the only time I have to do that is when it's in that banded style since I bun most of the time, so it's over my shoulder when need be. :agree:

I just put it over the other shoulder like Ed mentioned and also after I've already put the seat belt on. If my seat belt crosses over my left shoulder, for example, then my hair hangs over my right so there's very minimal chance of any snags/friction.

[EdG]

Snuggles (my spouse) has a brother with hair that looks just like yours. Snuggles' hair is much finer and thinner, but this month he hit tailbone on his longer strands, but it looks shorter because of random curliness.

I like your name, both forms of it. Snuggles and I are avid name-meaning researchers.


Hair as thick as mine can be really un-cooperative at most days, this one from a better day :D (a few months ago)

Very good info, thanks! I worked out the "belt first/hair on top" after a bit of trial and error (yank/pull/tug/ouch!), but I'm only at APL now, so won't have to worry about it getting caught in the belt-buckle for quite a while yet. :o

On a related note, after my first time driving with a low-ish ponytail, I've got a new appreciation of the top-knot bun that a *lot* of women use around where I live. Not that I really want to start wearing it while driving. :o Still, better than an annoying bump at the back of the head, especially on long trips. :ponder: Loose would still be the most comfy wouldn't it?

True enough. Just try and enjoy the ride from short to medium to long all over again. There's a sweet spot about 4-6 months growing out from a buzz cut, where you'll have a nice medium length. Should be about down to your eyebrows in the front, cover most of your ears on the sides, and be just above shoulder length in the back. Short enough to keep out of your eyes, but long enough to look a bit shaggy, and swish around with much satisfaction. :)

How do you guys feel about using bobby pins, at least during the awkward stage? I have been considering it a bit lately and wondered if any of you had and your thoughts. Thanks

IMHO it should be no issue whatsoever. In real life, somebody will have a smart a** about it. And, I am at that stage too, and I am not using bobby pins... that may change later. I wish it was a non issue.

[tommyboy]

Yeah, I don't think it should be but I am a tad reserved about trying it out, but maybe I'll give it a go. Would certainly help keep it out of my face for the next couple months until my bangs will stay behind my ears.

I wore them at work during my awkward stage. Was a bit apprehensive at first, but soon found out that no-one cared. :)


Bobby pins! Just man up and wear a couple of them in full view, holding your fringe back and to the side a bit. Best to choose some that match your hair colour. That's all I did when growing out my hair while working at a cafe, as well as a stubby ponytail. When my fringe was long enough, I gradually moved the bobby pins back until I could mostly hide them on top of and then behind my ears. Worked great, and hardly anyone said anything or gave me any weird looks. :)

Make sure to use two of them to reduce the chance of them falling out during the day. Also be sure to use new bobby pins every few days, otherwise they lose their tension and are more prone to falling out.
