While we agree that long hairstyle in men is attention-grabbing, we’re afraid we have a bit of bad news– it’s not for everyone. First of all, you need to have confidence. We’ll let you in on a bit of a secret: rocking long hair is all about attitude and confidence, so if you’re confident enough, you’ve already won half of the battle!

But wait, there are two more requirements for sporting men’s long hairstyles– medium to thick hair and the right face shape. If you have thin hair, it will just look wispy and unflattering. The more body your hair has, the better it is for long hair. Lastly, long hair works best on men with square jaw or oval-shaped faces.
