Michael Jackson Curly Strand
Curly texture almost instantly bumps up the hair density because of its collective nature and as we see here the thick strands make up a good shag. Plus the longer strands fall off dashingly on the forehead and on the sides.
Thin Curly Shag
Curly hair can be very long and you won’t notice a thing as it curls and the length is collected. The thin hair makes this style so much exotic with a lot of volumes and yet the mid part makes it perfectly stylish.
Long Waves and 'Tache
This one traces from the history and feels more of a retro style with that subtle side sweep and a fuzzy cloudy texture. The next thing that makes this one special one is the mustache and chin beard. Plus, the semi curled strands increase the volume making it a wholesome style.
Long Hairstyles For Men: Austin Butler's Surfer Hair
Surfer hair is one of our favourite long hairstyles, because it’s no-fuss by definition. Let your hair grow long and hang messy — the only maintenance you’ll be doing is catching a few waves.
Maintained Long Hair Is a Boon
Anyone can have long hair as it requires to let it grow but maintaining it is some work. Here the temple is subtly undercut to make it look a tad stylish with the top being pushed back for a man bun. The beard blend makes it one step more attractive.
Rugged Golden hour Hair
This is a very rugged one with that cheeky rough texture. The hair is particularly very long so that the knot can be dense and have a more than two-fold look. However, the dye takes way the prize as it adds that earthy brown look to it. The beard balances the volume and makes it a wholesome look.

Long Layered Style
Longer hairstyles for men can be timeless and classy. By adding some slight layering, this hairstyle already has some more volume than it would have if it were shorter. Also, this is a great choice for men who have a widow’s peak, as the longer hair directs your attention away from the hairline, as seen in the photo.
Textured Shaggy Cut
This hair style is perfect for people who want to enhance the natural texture of their hair. In this style, all of the hair is cut around the same length from the perimeter, but there is some slight layering to give extra bounce and movement. Also, the slight side part allows for some more volume at the top of the hair.
Shined Up Curls
Curly hair doesn’t just look good at shorter lengths. It can really draw the eye when it grows out, especially with some high-shine products. Add an uneven part to the fringe to give it texture and volume. The contrast between the curls and the well-groomed beard is sure to draw compliments from everyone in your social circle.
Slight Straight Mid-Part
Do you have thick, straight hair? Well, then, this is for you. Create an air of mystery by keeping your hair long throughout, parting it in the middle. The fringe lends to the look by slightly covering the eyes while the volume tapers through to the back.
The black corduroy turtleneck adds even more edginess to the style, while the subtle silver nose ring draws eyes to the clean petite goatee.
Natural Flow
One of the best things about long hair is how easy it is. For an effortless look, let your hair grow unrestrained. As seen here, if you let it do what it does best, it gives off a carefree, edgy look. Add to that rugged look by sporting a neatly kept beard. The tattoos finalize the style and add a distinct appearance overall.
Temple Fade Mullet
This style combines a bunch of current trends into one. Starting at the fringe, we see the classic quiff flowing neatly into a temple fade. The rear of the cut gives some beautiful texture and volume with the wavy mullet.
Pull this one off, and you’re the talk of the town for the next decade.
Burst Curls
Naturally curly hair can become the centerpiece of your style with a bit of maintenance and some skilled stylists. The temples are kept clean here with some light touches of the clippers while the rest is let loose. Accentuate the curls by collecting the bulk around the sides, while a small bit of fringe adds an asymmetrical and appealing look.
Wavy Controlled Chaos
Long hair is always a fashion statement for a gentleman. Here we see the perfect way to show off your eye for the flashiest trends. A small part keeps the fringe out of the eyes, pulling them to the side just above the eyebrows. Add some attention-demanding contrast by keeping the top brushed and controlled while the length continues down and around the ears in waves.
The volume gently drops off as we move down, keeping focus up around your face while still lending texture to the style.
Slicked Back Scissor Taper
Long hair doesn’t have to mean you rock a messy look. Here, the slicked-back style adds a sleek and controlled appearance. The length in the top is accentuated by the scissor work, tapering the sides down to the ear. Adding some nice contrast to the style is the well-maintained and wavy beard.
Pulled Back Bun
If you like the idea of the man bun, but you always have to go bigger than the norm, grow your hair longer. The cleanliness of the closely faded sides and tightly pulled-back top give off a feel of distinction, while the beard emboldens the style. Add a silver earring, and you’ll have an eye-catching and effortless style that many will try and replicate.
Ear Tucked Long Wavy Hair
This is what thick hair strands with a subtle side part do to the longer shoulder-length hair. Moreover, it is not straight and that fuzzy texture adds an extra layer of girth and makes it look all wavy.
Long and Wavy Ear Tuck
Having long hair doesn’t mean you need to put it up, braid it, or pull it back. If you have naturally wavy hair like the fella here, run a comb or your fingers through it to push it behind the ear. Add some matte or high-shine product and keep it where you want it, and you’ll have everyone wishing they could pull off the look you’ve got.
Here, the fringe is given full rein of the front of the style, providing an attention-grabbing look that pulls the eye to the waves at the back of the head.
Wannabe Shaggy Curls
Not your usual curls because usually, they tend to have a thicker texture and with a stranded look. The thin texture with longer curls is what makes this special, although it looks not that long but the curls are usually longer than they seem.
Moreover, the sides are tapered to keep the volume intact.
The Wings Haircut
The “wings” look has been around for decades. Its name derives from the wings that long hair tends to create, but you can accentuate these wings by keeping the top of the hair less voluminous and more close-cropped.

Carefree Side Parted Long Hair
If you prefer your hair to be looser and more adventurous, try out this style. This works best if you have thick or even matted hair, as that will help you achieve maximum volume for this look.
Knot? Why Not
The top knot may not be the most common men’s hairstyle anymore, but it’s still a great option for guys with long hair. This variation only ties up some of the hair, so the knot is used as a stylistic touch instead of a way to tidy up.

This eye-catching combination pairs a rugged beard with a long, sweeping hairstyle. Despite the length, this is a fairly versatile look, and you can experiment with different beard and hair lengths.
Dense Curled Shag with Mustache
Long hair doesn’t have to be free falling. The top to sides ratio is almost equal where the top is just a tad longer than the sides. The density is what plays a major role in this look with slight trimming handling the situation.

Tom Ellis' Wings Haircut
A shorter take on the wings haircut, this look is characterized by a medium amount of volume and a high level of texture.
Wavy Hair Touching Shoulder
I do find it fancy when there is a widow’s peak with long strands, and when we say these are real long. Plus the semi-curls towards the end are a real puncher.
