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.
Just use a looser hair tie or one made out of a softer material and don’t tie your hair too tightly. Hair ties can break your hair and cause frizz, but a receding hairline is usually a genetic thing, there’s nothing much you can do about it outside of checking with a dermatologist for some treatment.
As for your second question, to have more volume the best option is to get a haircut with some layering, it helps to create volume. The other thing you can do it is use a leave-in conditioner to help style your hair, apply just a coin sized amount (maybe even less) to your hair from the middle of it’s lenght to its tips, applying too much will make your hair flat, it will help keep it in place with some volume. Your other option is to use some hair pomade to keep it in place, but it can look wet if you use too much.
