Comfortable and stylish: These are just some of the adjectives that have been used to describe mens long hair, a style that, for far too long, has not received the respect or appreciation it deserves.
My purpose in writing this article is to help remedy this oversight and spread the love of mens long hair to others across the internet.
The History
Mens long hair has typically been worn by those who have the testicular fortitude to try it. While there are certain stereotypes that arise in brandishing long hair, some men transcend them and embrace this natural component of humanity. We are born with this physical feature and it is something that should surely be acknowledged.
The Tradition
Many people believe that mens long hair, by definition, is singular in style. This is not true. Long hair comes in curly, wavy, straight or frizzy with millions of stylistic possibilities! Long hair is fashionable in almost every natural hair color. There is surely an ideal long hair style out there for you!
Mens Long Hair Fashions
I like refer to Seattle as the "Home of the Modern Long-Hair Renaissance." The rise of grunge music came with a wonderful, unanticipated side effect: the increased acceptance of long hair in pop culture.
Artists such as Kurt Cobain hit the airwaves during the 1990s, demonstrating to an entirely new generation how long hair could be "cool."
How can I promote long hair in my community?
In my town, we have a small group of long hair enthusiasts that meets weekly to discuss their own style, share great ideas, and plan related events in the community. First, check to see if there is group of long hair aficionados in your town.
If no such organization exists, you can still do your part. Post flyers advocating long hair. Make sure your local library has plenty of books on the topic. And be sure to, each day, wear you're your long hair with pride.
Each of us can do our part. I wish the best of luck to each of you.
