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.

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.
