Going for long hair as a mid-twenties male

[A Casual Fitz]

It's a reasonable look but it's so hard to get past the awkward phases of it being too short to tie back. I had hair down to almost my waist at 19 and got sick of maintaining it but I want to give it one more go before I start balding too much. Thoughts? Experiences?

Cut your damn hair you hippie!

 

[lxskllr]

I've had long hair since the 80s, and haven't cut my hair in over 10 years. Do what you like. Other people's opinions are irrelevant.

Yeah, I think I'm going for it. My hair looks like 90s Seinfeld hair right now. I just found it easier when I was a teenager and had less pressure.

The in between stage is the worst, but it is easier to truck through it in the winter months with beanies and the like.

My hair is shoulder length, and I've had it grown out to this length a few times. The ladies always love the hair and best I can tell, it helps me look younger than my actual age (32).

And he means in that "go ahead fat people, rock your stretchy pants" or "sexy great-grandma, rock that halter top and faux leather miniskirt" sort of way.

To your waist? As a guy? The heck? Why?

Jesus Guy look is from the 70s.

 

[Mixolydian]

I keep my hair cut pretty short so I never have to comb it. :awe:

 

[Leros]

What kind of environment do you work in? Are you going to be the dirty hippy in a suit at an old fashioned business company or just another long haired geek at a modern-ish company?

I stopped in the gent's room the other day, so help me there was a man in there with a ponytail. My heart nearly turned over, I thought I was in the wrong terlet.

Hair down to your waste sounds like a great idea.

It unlocks your inner Viking.

I have long hair and I'm the most manly man on ATOT.

 

[OverVolt]

I've seen a few males with long hair. Its not so bad.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

I work in the Learning and Development department of large, modern company. There's a joke that our department believes in extreme hair - the managers are bald and most of the male trainers/designers and IT guys have ponytails. One of our GMs in Operations (late 30s) also has a ponytail. I think it works in most tech companies.

I got a haircut a few months back for my wedding so it's not long enough to have a nice ponytail, but I can still tie it for a neater look or spray it into place. More often that not, I just let it open and give zero fucks.

I just wish I could grow some manly facial hair worth a damn.

For becoming (and remaining) unemployed.

I don't need to unlock my inner viking, I'm already a fullblood one and I say men with long hair makes it a shitload harder to know whom to rape and whom to pillage and when they start lamenting it's just weird for everybody involved.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

For becoming (and remaining) unemployed.

Not necessarily. I work with this guy. He's an instructional designer and also manages four Direct Reports. Depends on the industry.

 

[OverVolt]

Yea it depends how superficial your career is :awe:
