Men with Long Hair: Classic or Dud

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

^^would kill for that look

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. ^^

I don't think there's a single female haircut variation that I haven't found attractive on at least one woman

(baiting 龜 to create a thread with completely ridiculous hair on women, crossing my fingers here)

merzbow looks great

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:

Also marcos OTM.

a facebook friend who is a hair stylist posted some blog saying that a bun (long hair pulled into a knot on the back of the head) on men is totally a thing

I used to have long hair in my late teens and looked like a cross between Curtis Stigers and Garth from Wayne's World.

I think Jonathan Larroquette sports a bun from time to time.

He does. It's a bad look.

tbf if we could all be haino the world would be a quite different place.

^ agreed xp

I am currently growing my hair long, this thread is giving me a lot to think about, thanks y'all

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.

Who's the guy in the black and white picture with the guitar? Is that Jim Morrison?

Is that Clooney shot from the Men Who Stare at Goats?

haha i thought that clooney shot was tom selleck for some reason

dayo, it's japanese avant rock guy keiji haino

O I C

asian/native am hair looks pretty good this way eh

Have not read rest of thread but OMG Yorke, you just dissed Benjamin Curtis unthread so you are dead to me D.E.A.D. show some respect to the dead, I can't even KMT, RMDE, SMH and every other expression of derision going.

Will read the rest of thread & revel in yr RONGness when back on a laptop.

*totally unamused face*

Should have been growing my hair this long as soon as I got out of the military. So many years wasted.

my hair is long(ish) for the first time since i was a teenager and i honestly just find it annoying. ive decided to get the top and sides trimmed down as those are the bits that annoy me. so i will have a mullet

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?

There are many routes to success. (Also looking back at Tombot in December there, I am glad he has fully seen the path to the light.)

yes, one for ILX posts with striking imagery
