FAQs


Do guys look good with long hair?


Long hair looks great on guys, and it suits a lot of faces, especially when adding some shape with layers or natural texture. However, damaged, unhealthy hair is much more noticeable when it’s long, so taking care of it is extremely important. Book into your barber for a trim every three months to removed damaged and split ends. Wash two or three times a week using a sulfate-free shampoo and condition each time. If you use heat styling, always make sure to protect your tresses with a heat protection product.

Plus, long hair is attractive because it shows you’re able to commit and have patience, as growing your hair out can be time-consuming and awkward. You also need to take time to look after long locks, which means you can be dedicated.

Is long hair on a man unprofessional?


While long hair is becoming more common and mainstream, it can still be considered unprofessional in some workplaces, such as corporate offices.

Options for compromise may include wearing your hair up or braided at work. This may also be a requirement for health and safety reasons, depending on your industry.
