Long Hairstyles for Men - Tips & Haircut Pictures for Long Hair

It may come as a shock to some people to know that men tend to take as much pride in their appearance, including their hairstyle, as many women. While long hair on a man was once taboo in the US, it is now quite common. There are several different ways for men to wear longer hair and still look nice.

A man who is a professional can wear his hair at about shoulder length and maintain it in a nice clean style that is acceptable to most as being appropriate. The professional style is cut to the shape of the face so that the eyes are visible without any hint of hiding behind the hair.

Popular Long Hairstyles for Men

One very popular long style for men is the simple long and straight look. The hair may be worn at any length from the shoulders down and requires a relative minimum of brushing or combing throughout the day. Many women believe this style makes a man look more sexy.

Another style made popular by rock musicians is wearing the hair at or longer than shoulder length and allowing a portion of it to hide the face, especially the eyes. This style gives a certain sense of rebelliousness and mystery to the man's appearance. A similar style that is parted in the middle to leave the eyes uncovered is attributed more to country musicians.

Shoulder length hair that is parted in the middle or on one side and layered to allow its natural waves and curl to show may be the most common longer hair style for men at the present time. This style is mostly worn by younger men in their twenties and early thirties.

Elvis Presley's Rockabilly Hairstyles

Elvis Presley's hairstyle

Elvis Presley's hairstyles changed quite dramatically throughout his life. When he first exploded onto the scene in the 1950s he was unorthodox in more ways than one. His smouldering, almost latinesque, good looks were accomplished by hair dye! Yes, it is absolutely true! Unlike most young men of the time, Elvis took the courageous step of dyeing his mousy blond hair.

Born among the white working families of the American Deep South, he used both black and white influences to shape his much copied and remembered style. Because he admired Tony Curtis, another smouldering sex symbol of the time, he changed his brown hair to black and shaped it in the ducktail style popular at the time. But Elvis kept his style a bit longer and sweeped it into a high pompadour at the front.

Over the years, many people, both men and women, have copied this sexy, flattering look. It can be a neat, manageable daytime look, or a wild, outrageous evening do. It is said that Elvis himself used three types of hair wax so that his hair would be able to swoop in front of his eyes when he wanted it to. Along with the curling lip, this drove the ladies wild!

Let us not forget that many other young men of the day had this rockabilly look. One of the most famous of course, is James Dean. These legends broke the old, twee mould of the time and imposed their own styles onto the teenage scene which were then copied across ice cream parlours and coffee shops up and down the land.
