I have been growing my hair for about two years now and it is about shoulder-blade length and very thick. I am six foot-five with a slim build (no muscles to speak of). I have found that the combination of my height and hair length is an instant attention getter. Male and female, young and old. I like this board and the sharing of views about long hair on men.
I have had to experiment on treatments and hair preps to get the effect I want. I wear the hair loose most of the time except when it is hot then I put it in a ponytail. (I live in the southeast)
I don't blow-dry my hair. I let it air-dry and I use salon shampoos and conditioners. Results vary greatly with the products. One of my favorite shampoos is 'Back to Basics' Herbal-- about $15 bucks for a month's supply. A good condtioner is 'ABBA' leave-in, use a tiny amount -- really expensive.. A bottle will last a year though. Since my hair is black, I use a spray on sunscreen if I'm outside all day..
If any one reading this has or knows of a database of salons which cater to men's long hair, please post or E-mail..
