Back to Sexy

After years of men sporting short, easy-to-maintain hair, long hair is making a comeback – and none too soon, if you ask most women. Longer hair represents romance and a sexy attitude. It also tells a woman that a man cares enough about her to put a little extra time and effort into looking great and changing up his look to keep it interesting. And nothing gives a man that “Bad Boy” look that women find irresistible more than long hair and a bit of facial hair.

I say “short hair is for men, but long hair is for the women.” They like to run their fingers through a man’s hair, and long hair feels softer and more sensual.  I don’t think it’s any coincidence that a clean-cut Tom Brady grew his hair long after marrying Brazilian supermodel Giselle.

As you can see, long hair is happening on the silver screen, on the sports field, on the runway, and of course, on musicians. I am even seeing teenagers with long, almost Seventies-style hair.

Long hair offers you more options; you can add color or highlights, slick it back for formal events, create beach-y waves, change your part, and create different textures with products.

So, from teenagers to adults of all ages, the trend to longer hair for men is here again.

We fell into a comfort zone with no-effort short hair, but now it’s time to place a little more emphasis on making an effort to have the kind of hair that drives women wild.
