Long hair is believed to be the prerogative of the weaker sex. However, long-haired men are a rarity, uniqueness and originality. Only the most courageous and confident representatives of the stronger sex can grow their curls.
What are men's haircuts for long hair? What are they characteristic of? What should a man consider when doing styling on hair that has grown below his ears? Let's figure it all out in order.
Types of Long Haircuts for Men
Long men's hair begins to be considered when their edges fall below the ears. Haircuts and styling, which can be done on a similar basis, are very diverse, but are conditionally divided into two categories:
The first option assumes that the strands are trimmed equally on both sides. Moreover, symmetrical long men's hairstyles are characterized by "mirror" architecture. All left strands are identical to the right. Asymmetry assumes that the maximum length will be achieved exclusively on one side of the parting.
Also note that men's haircuts for long hair come with bangs, and it is she who has the maximum length compared to other strands. In general, we can say that if the total hair length reaches the chin, then most often the hair is laid in the style of an elongated bean and the like.
The types of men's haircuts for long hair that reach the shoulders are graduated caret and styling in grunge style.
Smooth Hairstyle
This is the so-called classic version of the male haircut for long hair. In this case, the curls simply grow to the shoulders, slightly higher or slightly lower, and then they are trimmed and milled. Ideally, such a hairstyle looks great on thick and shiny hair that does not have problems. However, with proper care, and thin hair with such a hairstyle will look very attractive and entourage.
The most successful styling option for such a haircut will be a clear oblique parting, which will create the effect of slight asymmetry and carelessness. If you make a parting clearly in the center, then the hairstyle will be symmetrical. This is ideal for office workdays. Smooth long hair looks great on absolutely all men. The main thing is not to forget to take care of your hair, as it will attract maximum attention to itself.
Symmetry and only
In the framework of this term, there are several subspecies of men's haircuts for long straight hair, and each of them is suitable for a particular type of face. The basic principle is complete mirroring, therefore, a direct parting or absence of a parting at all.
Among the symmetrical haircuts there are options with shaved temples and long strands combed back, a square with a straight parting and the like. It is worth noting that complete symmetry is not suitable for everyone. Holders of round and square faces are advised to abandon this option and give preference to more laid-back styling, which will be described in the article below.
Asymmetric styling
There is simply a storehouse of options, and each of them is unique and interesting in its own way. It is only important to choose one that emphasizes the dignity of your face. It is worth noting that such stylish men's haircuts for long hair look perfect on any face shape. They emphasize the perfect oval, “stretch” the circle and hide the sharp outline of the square. So what can asymmetry offer us?
- Grunge haircut. It is built on the basis of an overgrown bean, and is characterized by strands of various lengths that are stacked in a chaotic manner.
- Hairstyle with a displaced center - the focus of asymmetry and negligence. The strands are cut in a chaotic manner and have a pronounced thinning.
- Double caret. This is an incredibly creative long male hairstyle, which suggests the presence of long strands on the top of the head and shorter ones in the back of the head. Most often, this hairstyle is complemented by bangs.
- Bob - styling, characterized by the presence of elongated curls that are wrapped inward. Also, the occipital strands should always be shorter than all the others.
Bet on contrast
One of the most striking and shocking men's haircuts for long hair is completely shaved whiskey and the back of the head. But there is also a platform of very long curls, which are concentrated in the center. In rare cases, whiskey is not completely shaved, but simply cut short - this option is acceptable for owners of a very thin face.
It is important for a man with such a haircut to remember that without an elastic band for hair, all her charm will evaporate. In the dissolved form, long hair against the background of shaved areas of the head will look ridiculous and ridiculous. But the curls gathered in a bundle are what you need to create a unique and very bright image.
Hairstyle has won a leading position among men around the world over the past few years. That is why very often you can meet its owners on the street, and in any other public places.
Tails
Of all the long men's hairstyles, hair gathered in a ponytail is the most practical and acceptable option. Curls can be of any length, starting from the level of the chin. They can also have various thinning and styling. The bottom line is to simply collect all the hair in a single bundle and tie it with an elastic band.
Tails in men look incredibly extraordinary and extravagant, although at the same time they are very restrained and concise. This hairstyle perfectly complements both the casual look and the office outfit. The only thing worth remembering is the correctly selected tail height.
For office everyday life it is necessary to collect it in the occipital part of the head, and for informal meetings - on the top of the head. Also, do not forget that if the hair is still not too long, the tail will literally stick out vertically.
Braids
It is extremely rare for men to shape their long hair into such weaves, since the braid is considered to be a female attribute. Nevertheless, lovers of shocking and all the unusual decide on such a step and rarely fail.
Perform braids in the most diverse form. They can be simple and easy, but can have a complex structure. A man can braid an ordinary pigtail for himself every morning. This will be a great alternative to the standard tail. The braid "fish tail", as a rule, is braided for a long time and is part of a certain styling. It can also be done for a specific event.
Another option is the numerous afro-braids. With their help, you can create any pattern on your head. Pigtails can be woven into the head, but can be in a free state.
Bangs and its features
For both women and men, bangs are a transformative element of hairstyles. With its help, you can significantly change the shape and facial features, give the image a more interesting appearance.
As a rule, men's haircuts for long hair with bangs are caret, double caret, bob, styling with a shifted center and some hairstyles in grunge style. Men's bangs are rarely symmetrical and even. Most often, this is a complete asymmetry or torn strands of various lengths that randomly frame the face. Also, bangs are often combed back, creating the effect of a smooth hairstyle, but giving volume to the hair.
By the way, growing, bangs become part of the square. With the help of strands that are lost among the total length of the hair, but are not as long, it is possible to make styling more voluminous and lush.
Fashion of bygone years
In the early 2000s, men's haircuts with long hair at the back were incredibly popular. All the front, side and top locks were trimmed according to the classical pattern, but the occipital ones were grown. Such a styling has become known not only to the public, but also to very popular stars (for example, Dima Bilan).
However, practice has shown that the hairstyle is not very practical and does not look so attractive without specific care products. Nowadays, such styling has left a niche of popularity, however, in some cases, men give them preference, as they successfully combine business and extravagant style.
