Long Haired Men, How Do You Take Care of Your Hair?

It’s my first time growing out my hair. I currently almost have shoulder length hair.

Here’s my dilemma, I usually just stay home and don’t like using product when I’m not going out, my long hair falls down in front of my face blocking my eyes, even reaching my mouth and it’s extremely inconvenient.

I’ve tried using hair ties, but somebody said it eventually leads to a receding hairline.

I’ve also used headbands, but am looking for alternatives.


I’d also appreciate some advice when using product, because sometimes it still falls down and/or becomes flat and lack some volume.

My end goal is to have a slicked back hair.

    I’ve used Scunci flat hair ties for the past eight years, no receding yet. It took some trial and error to find hair products that worked for me. My hair doesn’t get oily so I rarely wash it. Once I do it’s all over the place.

    Just wanted to say long hair can be dangerous in certain jobs. I’m in the HVAC business and constantly surrounded by spinning things like pumps, motors, belts and fans. Leaving hair loose for me is not an option. Growing it out was a late life experiment and it was surprising how it can be hazardous

      For anyone else who works in these sorts of environments don’t be afraid to buy an aggressive hair net or bandana. If your hair gets entangled you’ll be lucky if a scalping is the most of your injuries.
