It would seem that long hair for men is in. The Emmys saw actors like Pedro Pascal and Jeremy Allen White donning slicked back looks and long tresses. Recently Google Trends saw an increase of 200% in searches for how to style long hair for men. Apparently men have been seeking help and advice for growing out their hair!
Maintaining long hair can be incredibly difficult, especially when you’re in the awkward in-between stage. Andrew Vassiliou, Director of Chris and Sons has provided his expert commentary below explaining how men can maintain their hair when growing it out, and what to ask the barber at your next appointment. Andrew writes:
Sit down with your barber and set a plan of how you want your hair to look as it grows. Clearly communicate that you’re growing your hair out and discuss your desired end goal, in terms of style, look and length. This will help your barber understand how to shape your hair as it grows and how to customise your haircut to achieve your goals.
Talk about your timeline and how long you plan to grow your hair. This can guide the barber in determining how to shape your hair during the different stages of growth, and hopefully avoid the awkward in-between stage.
While growing your hair out, regular trims are essential to prevent split ends and maintain a healthy appearance, and also set the foundations for a consistent shape. Discuss how often you should come in for trims to keep the growth even.
Discuss styling options that work with your current hair length and texture. Your barber can suggest suitable styles or techniques to manage your hair during the transition.
If you encounter any issues or challenges during the growing process, like excessive dryness or difficulty styling, bring them up with your barber. They can offer solutions and recommend adjustments to your hair care routine to get your ideal style.
