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.
I've had long hair for about 20 years.
Hair tie is number 1, in a pinch though I just grab a locke of hair and wrap it into a ponytail.
For the last 6 or so years I've had dreadlocks and it's about the same, but I have way longer dry and wash times lol.
Before dreadlocks though, I found that more oils and products I used the more my hair fell flat, so for about 6 or 7 years I did the no-poo method and my hair liked it quite a lot. My hair was very curly and full, and could pretty quickly tell when my hair had too much sebum and other oils building up
Not entirely sure how you'd go about getting slicked back hair that also isn't flat etc, but from what I know of my hair, I would try a good deep clean and trying a small amount of pomade just at the roots/scalp. Seems like you'd most likely end up in a cycle of having to wash a lot though, but not really sure
