Whether you’re letting your hair grow out for the first time or you’ve been team-long-locks for years, long hair makes a bold, unmistakable statement. It tells the world that you’ve got style, patience, and presence—and that you don’t follow trends, you define them. But with length comes responsibility. And that’s where the right cut, barber, and grooming routine come in.
Here’s a breakdown of the most iconic long hairstyles for men and how to keep yours looking its best—with help from your trusted independent barber and the barber-grade products from Pall Mall Barbers.
The Bro Flow Long Hairstyles for Men
Carefree movement. Unmistakable charm.
The Bro Flow is for the man who looks like he just stepped off a yacht—or out of a boardroom with the same relaxed confidence. This mid-length style lets your hair fall back naturally, with soft movement, volume, and a lived-in texture. The magic is in how it frames the face: never too styled, but always considered.
Is This You?
If your hair touches your ears or collar, has a wave or soft curl to it, and you don’t like fussy routines, this is likely your lane. You prefer a style that matches your lifestyle—free-flowing, approachable, and full of personality.
Maintenance Tips:
Your independent barber is essential for regular shaping. The Bro Flow works best with light layering to remove bulk while preserving flow. Ask them to avoid any sharp weight lines—this cut is all about natural movement.
At home, embrace that undone texture with:
-
Sea Salt Spray – Just a few spritzes on damp hair, then finger-comb back.
-
Workable Paste – Adds structure without stiffness, giving you reworkable control as the day goes on.
Shoulder-Length Layers Long Hairstyles for Men
Laid-back volume meets tailored refinement.
This is the grown-up version of long hair. Shoulder-length layers balance freedom and form, making this style ideal for men who want the versatility to wear it loose, tied, or styled back. The layers are key—they create shape, reduce heaviness, and enhance texture, whether you’ve got waves, curls, or straight hair.
Is This You?
You’ve grown your hair out intentionally. You want something expressive but not messy. You enjoy grooming, and you care how your hair falls—whether you’re on a Zoom call, a date night, or heading to the studio.
Maintenance Tips:
This style demands consistency. Book your independent barber every 8 weeks for a shape-up. Ask for invisible layering and texture to remove bulk while keeping length. A razor or point-cut technique works great for enhancing movement. Long Hairstyles
At home, your focus is hydration and shape:
-
Argan Shampoo + Conditioner – Strengthens and softens, essential for detangling and shine.
-
Flexible Shine – Tames flyaways and adds polish without greasiness.
For big occasions, finish with a touch of Pomade for sleek, side-parted sophistication.
The Man Bun Long Hairstyles for Men
Clean, functional, undeniably cool.
The man bun has become a modern classic. It’s practical—keeping hair out of your face—but it also gives off serious “understated confidence” energy. The bun can be low at the nape for a casual vibe or higher up for a sportier look.
Is This You?
You’ve got long hair and a busy lifestyle. You want style and convenience in one motion. The man bun is your daily go-to for work, workouts, or weekends—and when done right, it still turns heads.
Maintenance Tips:
Your barber’s job? Keeping the nape, sides, and hairline clean. Whether you go for a full undercut or just shape up the edges, a sharp base makes the bun look polished—even if the rest is intentionally messy. Long Hairstyles
At home, your bun prep kit includes:
-
Pliable Clay – Adds grip to clean hair, helping it stay tied all day.
-
Volumising Dust – Use before tying up for added texture and hold at the roots.
-
Light Dressing Cream – Smooths the surface and nourishes strands without stickiness.
The Top Knot Long Hairstyles for Men
Bold. Confident. Cut from a different cloth.
If the man bun is modern, the top knot is trendsetting. Usually paired with faded or shaved sides, this look lets you wear your hair up high and tight with intentional edge. It’s as much about shape and contrast as it is about hair length.
Is This You?
You like to stand out—clean fades, urban aesthetics, and structured cuts are your thing. You want something that shows off your hair while keeping things clean around the sides.
Maintenance Tips:
This look demands precision. Your independent barber should keep the back and sides faded every 2–3 weeks to maintain contrast. The knot should sit right on the crown—not too far back. Long Hairstyles
At home, go for a combo of control and comfort:
-
Light Dressing Cream – Great for styling without shine.
-
Pompadour Paste – Gives strong hold if you’re tying up for a full day.
And yes, even top knots deserve deep conditioning once a week to stay sharp.
FAQs: Long Hairstyles for Men
How do I know if long hair suits me?
It comes down to commitment and confidence. Long hair suits most face shapes if it’s shaped and styled properly. Try a Bro Flow as your entry point—it’s forgiving and adaptable.
What’s the difference between a man bun and a top knot?
The man bun is typically lower and looser. The top knot is higher, tighter, and often paired with an undercut or fade. It’s a more stylized look, while the man bun leans relaxed.
How often should I wash my long hair?
2–3 times a week is plenty. Overwashing strips your scalp and ends of natural oils. Use Argan Shampoo & Conditioner to hydrate and strengthen without buildup.
Can I air-dry my hair and still get a good style?
Absolutely. Use Sea Salt Spray on damp hair, scrunch for movement, then let it air-dry. Finish with a light layer of Workable Paste to define the final texture.
What’s the best product for frizz control in long hair?
Use Flexible Shine to smooth without stickiness, or Light Dressing Cream for hydration and a soft hold finish.
Do I need a different barber for long hair?
Not necessarily—but you do need a barber who understands shape, movement, and layering. Stick with your independent barber who listens, knows your hair’s journey, and gives you a tailored experience—not just a trim.
