  If you are a man with long hair, could you please post a message in response to this one describing its length and how you wear it? Please use the following categories:
  Hey, folks. I've just found out about this place, though I seem to have missed some kind of flame war about people like myself which inspired the creation of this page.
  Anyway, I qualify....My hair is cut shorter on the sides, and I have bangs so that I can do the ponytail thing at work with a suit and tie and 'get away with it' but otherwise, I'd say my hair is between:
  Waist
  Butt length or longer (specify)
  It's about halfway down the back pockets on my jeans. It has a slight wave, but it's mostly straight and pretty thick.
  
  I like long hair on women, and long hair in general, and I usually do catch folks' attention. Sometimes it even starts conversation. And it's always nice if I run into a young lady that likes long hair.. :)
  hi chris
  you hair sounds fabulous!!!!
  can we trade pics?
  my hair is almost as long!!
  Dave
  My hair isn't near that length, but I find that length very nice to look at. I would like to talk with you two or any other guy with hair that long.

  If you are a man with long hair, could you please post a message in response to this one describing its length and how you wear it? Please use the following categories:
  Bottom of ears
  Shoulder length
  Shoulder blade
  Mid back
  Waist
  Butt length or longer (specify)
  Additionally, please specify whether it is straight, curly, etc.
  My hair is currently 1 inch above my waist. Its taken about three years to get to this
  point. I've always had it fairly long though, ever since an ex girlfriend asked me to
  grow it out. The relationship ended, but I found I really prefer my hair long. Regardless
  of what other guys seem to think, it's been my experience that women seem to like long hair on
  guys. At least the women I date like it. If anyone has tips on braiding, I would love to get some info.
  I have a hard time getting the braid started. once its about halfway, I'm OK, and right now, I don't have
  a lady in my life to braid it for me. Great site!!!
  PS. my hair is copper red and fairly straight.
  Am intrigued by your posting. If you would like to discuss, please EMail me. JL

  For about 3 years I did nightly roller sets. Great looking hair, but the novelty finally wore off. I've done french braids, salon sets, up-do's, hot rollers, even cornrows complete with beads. I still treat myself to the beauty salon every other week.
  Do you have any photos of your roller sets, especially up-dp's? A lot of us would love to see them. Why not post them, if you have them, to the Men's Long Hair Site or to lisahair's home page?

  Victor,
  First of all, thanks for creating this site. I'm looking forward to following people's ideas and comments, as the HairNet has turned largely to the supposed virtues of wearing hair very short.
  My own hair is about shoulder blade length now, and quite straight. It is also thinning a bit on the very top and receding at the temples. I usually wear it tied back, either in a pony tail or in a braid. Lately, I've been increasingly comfortable wearing it in a French braid (three strands), and prefer that style. I can do it myself with some proficiency, although I usually find the braid more pleasing when I have it done by a stylist. I've found a couple here in S.F. who are quite good and are very willing to experiment.
  I've also had my hair roller set a couple of times, with positive results. The first time, I had the stylist back-comb most of it and pin it up in a French twist. This was one of my experiments, and though the look was quite elegant, I doubt I would ever be very comfortable wearing my hair that way in a social setting. I'll have to have a couple more roller sets where we leave the curls down to decide whether that's a social option.
  But as I said, I'm increasingly comfortable wearing a French braid socially. It's really an attractive style, and also serves the purpose of keeping my hair out of my face, which is important because my hair does not have a lot of body.
  Keep up the good work here; I enjoy reading about other men who wear their hair long.

  No dout this is the greatest. I have a little longer than shoulder length and only wear a ponytail at work because I'm not able to start a braid myself. My hair is thin and seem to be braking off before it gets any longer. I do trim about every 3 to 4 months. It just isn't getting past this point! I use only salon products and miosterizers but the bad end still come back.
  The absolute best braid I've ever had was called fish bone (I think)
  had a stylist try it once. But she moved on. If you have ever heard of this braid tryit.
  I believe it can start out as french braid with the braid mostly on the inside so it doesn't stand out then taking some hair from the back of the middle strand and adding it to the outer ones as you finish all the way down.

    Tim,
    I have only had the "fishbone" French braid done once, but it's not for lack of trying or liking it. I think it's a really great look, but to date I've only found one stylist who can do it, and at that (by her own admission) not really well. It tends to get looser as you go down the braid, so by the time she was done, most of the braid was kind of resting toward the base of my head. It still looked okay, but I prefer braids that are tighter and start higher up -- a little forward of the crown.
    I have the breakage problem to some degree, too, particularly with the front hairs, which are thinner to begin with. If I wear a ponytail, I need to hit the front and sides with a little spray so those shorter strands will stay where I want them.
    I also like the underbraid style, which does make the braid stand out on your head, but usually get the overbraid (braid is inside) done, and that's the only way I can do it myself. All you can do is keep practicing, and watch carefully when the stylist does it. Getting started is key, and I find the whole thing is easier to do when my hair is still pretty wet. Try it out, and let me know how you do.

  Shoulder blade-length (except for bangs)
  Curly (from perms and roller sets)
  I usually wear it up in a bun, french twist, or pinned-up curls at the nape of my neck.
  How's about sharing some photos with either LisaHair's web page or the Men's Long Hair web site?

  I would like a picture of J.J.'s hair, particularly bun or french twist.
