How to Grow Long Hair as a Guy

Long hair can be an expression of freedom for men, or it can simply express some slavish devotion to a fashion trend or idol. It's a style whose popularity fluctuates, but if you want to grow out those locks, you can do it while maintaining your hair's health, body and shine.

Instructions

1. Trim your hair as you grow it. Split ends look sloppy one anyone. It may feel like you're going backwards, but trim about an inch or half an inch every two months or so.

2. Brush your hair as it grows. Keep it free of knots that can split and ruin your hair. Keep your hair tangle free and smooth at all times. If it gets into your eyes, tie it in a loose pony tail.

3. Wash your hair but not too often. Overwashing can strip your hair of sheen and body. You can leave your hair unwashed for a day or two so that your unnatural oils will moisturize it. However, don't go more than three days without washing your hair, especially as it grows longer. Unwashed long hair get stringy and the oil can come in continual contact with your skin to cause acne.
