Should guys have long hair or short hair?

[Charliefretz329]

Long

Short

[Anonymous]

Depends if the guy can pull it off. Not everybody is Johnny Deppe. I know I can’t. Even when I was younger it looked bad. My hair is very thick and coarse and it just doesn’t grow right when it grows too long

With that said I’ve been experimenting with real short hair vs thicker long hair at my age. When it’s done right I look a lot under when I let my hair grow out about 3 inches or so. My hairs thinning but I’m not bald. It has to be styled right to pull off the “look”.

Takes a lot of work though.

Across all tribal cultures men had long hair. Native American men had long hair. Viking and Celtic warriors had long hair. Ancient Greeks had long hair. Samurai had long hair. Medieval knights had long hair. Hair is extremely important.

It completely depends on the guy. Some look hot with long hair, and some turn into the hippy-Jesus-namAStE dude you see on the curb in bare feet, a Hawaiian tee-shirt and cargo shorts.

My brother, for example, has had long hair all his life, and it looks great on him. No one can imagine him without it.

[DishLady]

Either will look good. You have a good face.
Just go with the one that will be less annoying to you.

[Charliefretz329]

thanks 😊

[DishLady]

NP. 🌸 🌸 🌸

[Charliefretz329]

It’s always ended up short for me

[Charliefretz329]

by the way the post picture isn’t me lol.

[Charliefretz329]

I just realized you probably meant that picture not my profile pic 🤦‍♂️

[DishLady]

Ah! LOL. Yeah, you have to know the person’s face to see which style would suit them better. (It’s like some women can’t sport bangs because they have smaller foreheads or very fluffy hair, but others can sport that look and appear fabulous. It’s all to do with the shape of the face and the length/distance of the features.)

[Charliefretz329]

I totally agree.

I think the Fabio hairstyle works best with guys with long hair. Like the guy in the pic. But on a slim face it’s not so good

[DishLady]

Ok, so … look at the pic you’re using here. The guy has big eyes, a longer nose and fuller lips, but high, narrow cheekbones. The shape of the face isn’t too long and the forehead isn’t too small or too broad, so both the long and short hair look good on him.

If you have longer or rounder facial features than he does (like a very defined chin), then go with the short hair. If you have similar features to this guy you have the option of either one. Is that more helpful?

[Charliefretz329]

Totally 🙂

[DishLady]

You sound like you’re partial to the short hair, not the “Fabio” hair. (Also, FYI, the longer style is a P. I. T. A. to manage from day to day. Take it from someone with impossibly long hair!)

[Charliefretz329]

Longest mine ever got was over my ears. The maintenance is too much for an outdoorsy mechanic type like me.

But I’m letting mine grow out again and giving it a try. I’m retiring from the service and I don’t have to cut it so I’m rebellling 😆

Girls look amazing with long hair in my opinion and I understand the work involved.

[DishLady]

Try something mid-length — or longer in the front, just past the ears and shorter in the back for starters, that way you get the feel for it — it’s semi-shaggy like Henry Cavil sports it, this way you can let it frame your face or slick it back if you’re red with it.

Yeah, long hair and mechanics don’t really go together.

A service guy? Cool — thanks for keeping us all safe. 🥰

Long hair can be pretty, but summer’s around the corner so a little trim and some creative updos will have to be considered. Such a fuss!

[Charliefretz329]

🙂 thanks. Yeah dirtyness and heat make it uncomfortable…

Maybe short in the front and long in the back? 🤔 lol, bring back the mullet lmao

[DishLady]

LOL. No please don’t. Billy Ray finally grew his hair out properly. It’s in the past.

[Charliefretz329]

Lmao 🤣

[Artificial Intelligence]

Ah, the eternal debate of long vs. short hair on guys! Honestly, it's all about what makes them feel confident and comfortable. Some folks absolutely rock the long hair look, giving off those dreamy, artistic vibes or that rugged, adventurous feel. Then there are those who look sharp and suave with short hair, exuding sophistication and neatness. It's really a personal choice and depends a lot on their lifestyle, fashion sense, and, frankly, how much effort they want to put into hair care. So, whatever floats their boat, I say go for it! What's your take on it, though? Do you sway more towards one style?

[Charliefretz329]

Are you Ai?

[FatNeville]

@Fashionista Amy, thanks for asking. I sway toward the short, neat look myself, but you are right that it's a matter of individuality.

[myloveforuisinfinte]

Ofc it's AI lol

[Seinna]

I'm of the opinion that everyone should have long hair lol

I know it doesn't suit everyone though... but long hair is great.

I met my husband when he had long hair and that's what attracted me to him... he now has it short and it suits him better so I don't pressure him to grow it out again.

[ZamerZ]

Personally, I prefer guys with long hair bc we're from the same alternative demographic / music subcultures. You can literally slap long hair on any man and I will be insta-attracted to some degree. Some guys look better with short hair but ultimately, they should wear what makes them confident and happy.

[CrabCakes11]

I think guys should have whatever hair length that makes them confident and happy.

[Charliefretz329]

True enough 😌

[NotTacocaT6969]

Many men are born with the ability to grow beautiful hair without using so much as a drop of expensive products.


I think that makes a lot of women jealous.

[Charliefretz329]

True lol

[TommyMountainFigure]

Everyone should do what they like.. Me? I keep my hair short. It's dangerous having long hair when you play Rugby! The opposition would not only pull you from pillar to post by it, but your own team mates would rip the p out of ya!

[nawtee_me]

I have always like my hair long. I have had it short for certain jobs that I have had but the one I have now it doesn’t matter. My ponytail is down to my shoulder blades. At my age I just need the rocking chair and the shotgun and I am good…. lol

[Xoirwinkan]

I had a wild mane that reached down to the middle of my back. It was wavy and robust, along with my big beard. But I cut it off when I was going to start a new job. For men it's just too much hassle and work, especially with jobs/hobbies that are more physical. Now I have really short hair.

[myloveforuisinfinte]

I like long hairs on guys more than short hairs. But it also depends upon guys. Like long hairs suit on some guys only not every yk😶and short hairs suit on every guy.

[laly520]

I prefer short hair

[Charliefretz329]

It’s easier to style

[FunkyMonkee]

Long looks better!
Mine's almost to my waist. It also feel nice on my back!!

[Charliefretz329]

Lots more work keeping it up though isn’t it?

[FunkyMonkee]

No, just shampoo, rinse, comb it out and let it dry. The whole thing only takes about 8 minutes.

[Charliefretz329]

I need conditioner when mine get more than a few inches

[sirderpsalot123]

Whatever they want lol I've always kept mine short tho

[Charliefretz329]

I’ve let mine grow out at times but tired of it quick

[Dongie]

I did to in my 20's. Not REAL long but below shoulder length. Also had a earring left side ofcourse. It was the mid 80's.

[Charliefretz329]

I get it lol.

[handsomelad70]

Their choice, but between us boys, I se FAR TOO MANY boy buns !!! (My bearded great-nephew also has a boy bun.)

[Charliefretz329]

I’m not a fan of the bun

[handsomelad70]

Nor an I, really.

[Anonymous]

I like to get a fade, it might look simple and generic but it's easy to maintain, less pollution, dust, dirt, oil that stays in the hair. It's easier to blow dry and wash, it's easier if you need to colour your greys. Long hair suits certain men/guys but personally I think shorter hair is better.

[Dongie]

I said short but I don't really give a shit unless its constantly falling over his face and he has to keep adjusting it. A bit feminine then.

[Charliefretz329]

I’d have to agree with that one… 🤔

[AviatorTom]

When my hair gets longer than a few inches, my scalp itches and its very uncomfortable. It's always short hair for me.

More power to guys who can get away with long hair.

[Miah04]

They should have the hair length that they want to have

[Charliefretz329]

If they can’t choose pp length, at least they can choose hair length. 😏

[Iron_Man]

Short hair, who wants to look like a female

[Peridot25]

You should tell that to the little boy who grew his hair out to donate.

[Peridot25]

He got bullied for it too, just FYI.

[Iron_Man]

@Peridot25 That’s a special occasion for cancer, but normally people that are male don’t grow their hair out to their butts to look like women

[Peridot25]

Also, look at actors like Jason Momoa. They can rock long hair.

[Peridot25]

Ok, tell that to Indian men. They grow their hair that long.

[Iron_Man]

@Peridot25 I don’t know that actor and I’ve never seen an Indian man with long hair like that if you’re looking for a debate, take it to somewhere else I don’t have time for this

[loladevine]

I think she meant Native American

[ZamerZ]

The vikings can't hear you over their badass long hairstyles and manly beards.

[Iron_Man]

Do you know how long ago that was? What did they do? Cut their hair on a sword

[Peridot25]

More than likely 🤷‍♀️

[bobalife]

It’s up to him. But I do prefer short and style up. Guys who can pulled long hair are very handsome doe tbh.

[OfMiceandMen]

I think it depends on the guy's face. Some guys don't look very good with short hair and vice versa.

[andreasderjuengere]

No guy ''should'' follow an advice here, unless he/she/it/whatever/AI is an opportunist.

Hair 'style' is an individual decision if you're adult enough.
