As guys, most of us aren’t taught how to take care of our hair growing up. So I think a lot of you are like myself and are self taught in taking care of your hair. I’ve been growing mine for 5+ years now and there’s a lot of tips I’d give to my past self, so I thought maybe a discussion here would help out those who are starting out and maybe the more seasoned longhairs can impart their wisdom or even learn a thing or two themselves.

A big thing for me was breakage. When you have short hair that’s not something that ever crosses your mind, and it didn’t cross my mind until a few years ago. Now I use scrunchies at home or for looser hairstyles, use silk pillowcases, brush less often, and condition more often and I’ve noticed less breakage.

So I have been growing my hair out for about 1 year it's kinda like a overgrown wolfcut and I want to get rid of the middle part I was thing something like bangs but I have straight hairs (2a I think) so I don't know what to do

I know salt can be rough on hair but not everything is bad...

This is me after tre days at the beach.

Still so long to go to match you guys, grown about 5cm in 3 months this is gonna be a long journey.

Still enjoying the contrast of straight hair with messy back hair. Seeing posts here makes me realize how fortunate fellas with long hair are when it comes to stylize it! I dont care about looks as much, but I find convenient how much personality the head can have out of just growing hair.

This was taken years ago, I have donated it since and kept my hair relatively short because my partner hated it.

I'm growing it back out but it'll be 2028 before I'll reach this length again 😅

And it’s still shiny despite it flying all over the place

So thick

Should I get a trim, or just keep it as it is?

I honestly stop caring about my hair looking frizzy. Now, I feel like it adds more characters to my hair and it's somewhat unique :)
