Long Haired Men, How Do You Take Care of Your Hair?

It's my first time growing out my hair. I currently almost have shoulder length hair.

Here's my dilemma, I usually just stay home and don't like using product when I'm not going out, my long hair falls down in front of my face blocking my eyes, even reaching my mouth and it's extremely inconvenient.

I've tried using hair ties, but somebody said it eventually leads to a receding hairline.

I've also used headbands, but am looking for alternatives.


I'd also appreciate some advice when using product, because sometimes it still falls down and/or becomes flat and lack some volume.

My end goal is to have a slicked back hair.

    Use shampoo, and conditioner to avoid split ends. Cut the ends every half a year or so to avoid looking frizzy (ask your friends or a haircutter for advise). You can use hairbands. In fact you can just use a hairband just for the hair in the front to allow you to still have to mane.

      For frizziness, the only two things that have worked are anti-frizz gel and hydrating hair food. Lots of it was caused by my hair being too dry.

        I’ve begun applying 2-4 drops of oil to the tips of my hair after bath. The idea is, that your scalp will oil up and protect the rest of the hair, but usually doesn’t manage to apply the protective layer to your hair ends before next bath.
