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.
Not a man but hair ties leading to receding hairlines is referencing traction alopecia. Basically you pull your hair so tight it gets ripped out at the front over and over resulting in more or less the equivalent of how folks who plucked their eyebrows for years had them stop growing back.
My recommendation as a long haired woman who doesn’t like her hair in her face is hair ties in loose buns/ponytails (best practice is to switch it up from time to time so you don’t wind up with friction damage on the same place) and hair clips once it’s long enough for them.
Also braids. The longer my hair is the more a braid is helpful.
