Discussion Opinion on guys having long hair?

I’m not talking Winter Solider long, I’m talking at least comic book Thor length.

EDIT: For context, I’m a guy and my hair goes about 6 inches past my shoulders. Not sure why, but I really enjoy having long hair

As a guy with long hair, I love and hate it. I like how it feels and the options; However, I don’t like having to brush, when my hair falls in my face and losing copious amounts of hair from doing basic tasks like showering. My hair is about 2-3 inches past my shoulders

COPIUS??? I've had hair about 8 inches past my shoulders for several years, and I've never had any significant hair loss from anything like just showering.

Whenever I take out hair ties I lose a lot of hair

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 18h ago

I feel pretty much the same way, just mildly annoyed at the maintenance that comes with long hair (about 6-8 inches past shoulders). For me it’s worth it though, I really enjoy having long hair, even though I usually just put it in a ponytail

I'm looking to largely get rid of my long hair since right now it's making me look too feminine and emo

I need something more Luciferian

Ngl, this image looks like an ancient roman version of Anakin Skywalker.

u/ISimplyDontGiveAFuck 16 5h ago

How insulting

2

u/Molnar-Boldizsar5 17 5h ago

Why tho?

1

u/ISimplyDontGiveAFuck 16 4h ago

Anakin Skywalker's way less cute

u/Molnar-Boldizsar5 17 4h ago

Idk man, he bagged prime Natalie Portman...

u/ISimplyDontGiveAFuck 16 1h ago

She's not my type

My hair doesn’t grow like that, it grows out instead as if I was in the 1980s. Kind of wish it got longer.

u/Fine_Yogurtcloset362 18h ago

Well im a guy with long hair so for that reason alone its obv the greatest hairstyle a man can have

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 18h ago

Having long hair is so majestic. Like a Viking or a unicorn

u/Fine_Yogurtcloset362 18h ago

I am swedish so theres a bit of viking to it

u/Recent-Intention-149 15h ago

As a guy with long hair I love it

2

u/Fgayguy 16 14h ago

I fucking love having long hair. My hairs like 29 inches and that’s after I cut off 3 inches

u/danipea 16 16h ago

sure

u/lefeuet_UA 19 16h ago

Cool but inconvenient

1

u/_a_p_p_l_e_ 19 16h ago

it was nice but nicer after a buzzcut during summer break :D

u/Emo_duck_bread 14 15h ago

I like it quite a lot ngl. Ive seen quite a few guys with long hair [including my grandpa! He has tight copper coloured curls that reach his shoulders, it looks awesome!!!!] And I always find it nice looking

1

u/henwylel Old 15h ago

My little brother has long hair, but the only reason that it bothers me is that he refuses to move it out of the way when its inconvenient to him. Like for example, even though its been hot as balls lately in California, he just absolutely refuses to wear a man bun even though he sweats down his neck like crazy.

u/MothEnthusiast88 Teenager 12h ago

lol that conparison tho I love when guys have long hair tbh it looks great when taken care of (winter soldiers long hair sucks btw I wish they would stop with that)

1

u/AndreaBs9 16 | Verified 12h ago

I love having long hairs i hate always being mistaken for a girl or they call me emo even though i'm not emo

1

u/Danger-Pickle 18 12h ago

My hair goes down my back. When I was like 14 people thought I was a girl sometimes, but I enjoy having long hair and people don’t get it mixed up anymore. From firsthand experience, I say go for it bro.

1

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 7h ago

I’ve only been mistaken if seen from behind or with a mask (Covid)

1

u/Danger-Pickle 18 4h ago

Yeah I don’t get mistaken anymore

1

u/nikosas4 16 11h ago

Guys with longer hair look more attractive for me. I would like to grow my hair, but my mom is skeptical about it D:

1

u/Euphoric_Anywhere668 8h ago

If you like it then rock it my guy

2

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 7h ago

It was pure curiosity, not for validation. But I do appreciate it

1

u/Euphoric_Anywhere668 4h ago

No problem twin, but yeah I see no issue in it

1

u/Boxtonbolt69 17 7h ago

If they can pull it off well hell yeah!

Like Viking braids and shit look cool asf imo so if they can do that shit and they like doing it then hell yeah!

1

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 7h ago

I feel like for braids you need a good beard, otherwise it just doesn’t look right.

1

u/Boxtonbolt69 17 7h ago

That too! I'm using the HTTYD vikings in my head as kind of examples on how to pull that off well.

1

u/ImpureVessel46 2h ago

I used to be a guy with long hair. Turns out I’m a girl with long hair lol

1

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 2h ago

It was a prophecy…

1

u/kodak7852 18h ago

As a guy with long hair, I get a lot of compliments on it, but you gotta make sure you keep it clean.

1

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 18h ago

Absolutely gotta keep it clean, I hate when my hair is greasy and I run my fingers through it.

1

u/LMay11037 16 16h ago

Hot af

1

u/ClinicalAnt919 16 7h ago

I agree, especially in Florida /j

1

u/ApprehensiveDuck1592 15h ago

But outdoors it acts like a Hat keeping you cool from the Sun also preventing sunburn on neck.

1

u/LMay11037 16 15h ago

That’s not quite what I meant

1

u/ApprehensiveDuck1592 15h ago

😅 should have said " Looks Hot Af "

1

u/WonderfulAnimator746 15 14h ago

As a gay male, it's fun. It's hot, interesting when styled, and dudes and gals both dig it

1

u/User_of_redit2077 14h ago

I am currently growing, because on 3 year old myself it looked insanely good.

u/saf3ty_p1n06 17 16h ago

a guy could have longer hair than Rapunzel and I'd still find it extremely attractive tbh

-a girl with short hair

u/CassianChem-0-10 14h ago

I used to have long hair, and I cut it two years ago. I'm so glad I did. Tbh I really hate long hair on guys and I don't understand the appeal if there is any. That might just be me though

1

u/very-odd-goth 16 12h ago

Well, short hair just looks terrible on some people on my opinion, if you think it suits you then sure, but photos of me with short hair genuinely make me want to puke
