I had long hair as a youth when I was exactly the kind of dude who shouldn't, did all the wrong things with it, and probably am biased against ever having hair that is longer than would cover my ears ever again
― mh, Thursday, 30 January 2014 14:41 (ten years ago) link
yeah I looked a little like that only less blonde and less masculine
total classic imo. branwell otm upthread. wish i could pull it off, my hair is just jet black curls and it grows out rather than down, which is why i keep it pretty short. i'd love to have long straight hair. i'm not a metaller but i pretty much always dig that look if done well. there's a good tradition of longhairs apart from metallers, too, you're in good company - native americans, hippies, ned raggett. it can be done poorly a la fabio but i don't think fabio would be any better with shorter hair.

and by long, i mean fuckin LONG -- shaggy shoulder length is not enough it should really come down pretty far on your back

Classic if it makes the person who has it happy.
Dud if it was forced on them by someone locking them in a basement and refusing them scissors.

also if there is some curl it can still look really cool, e.g. kurt vile

There are tons of notable exceptions, but most of those exceptions are extremely beautiful humans who would look amazing at any time regardless of hairstyle. And tbh in most cases I would probably prefer those dudes if they got a haircut as well.
Hey, much like people who are not men, some people have really nice hair and some don't. If you have hair with a nice texture, quality, shininess, whatever, AND it's good for your face, the cut is tailored to you and your life, I'm sure it can work. Also, welcome to the hygiene and beauty world that women live in if you want a certain effect, ie straightness, curliness, more shine, more lift, less lift.
But my lizard brain is fucked up about this, in terms of personal preference. Short hair/no hair is the only thing I'm attracted to. I dunno maybe there are exceptions somewhere in photos of fabulously attractive famous athletes or something but basically that quote otm. ^^

Before my current hair cut I hadn't cut my hair for 6 months and my friend's girlfriend told me that I should just let it grow to metalhead length because it's a good look for Azns

Depends on the man and the hair, but I certainly don't have a blanket objection. Like, I remember guys in college with long hair who never should've had long hair (either because of their actual hair or their ability to care for it) but at the same time there's this:

okay this thread has firmed up my feelings about long hair a bit, which is that it can be achingly classic in many cases but completely and utterly dud on a certain type of "suave" celebrity-type asshole dude, and that those dudes are assholes w/ or w/o long hair.

^^ my dad (and me) in 1973. We lived in a shared house, and all the adults were beautiful and had luxurious hair. So like BB, I grew up with a firm preference for long hair. I agree it needs to be looked after, though, and there's no way to make it look good once it really starts to thin.

Turns out if you let your hair get to shoulder length and get a bit dirty it's..good? You can just tuck it behind your ears and then everyone else has to deal with looking at it but you don't?
