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.
