Let’s be honest—growing your hair long is a commitment. You deal with weird in-between phases, knots, comments from relatives (“When are you cutting that?”), and the occasional identity crisis. But once you’ve got that length? Man, it’s a power move.
Still, long hair doesn’t mean no style. In fact, there are tons of ways to shape it up so you don’t just look like you’ve given up. Here are 15 of the best haircuts for long-haired guys—styles I’ve tried, saved, or seriously admired from afar.
1. Long Layers
This is the go-to. Long layers give your hair movement and shape without taking away length. It’s great for wavy or thick hair and stops it from turning into a giant block of fuzz. Super low-maintenance and always looks good.
2. Blunt Cut
This is the opposite of layers—everything’s the same length. It’s clean, bold, and a little edgy. Think Jason Momoa when he trims it all even. Works best if your hair is naturally straight or slightly wavy.
3. Tapered Ends
A solid middle ground. Keep the length but taper the ends slightly so the hair falls softer and neater. Makes a huge difference if your hair tends to look heavy or flat at the bottom.
4. Long Shag
This one’s got rockstar written all over it. Tons of layers, a little mess, maybe even bangs. If you like texture and don’t mind a bit of edge, this cut gives off that effortless “I’m in a band” vibe—even if you’re not.
5. Shoulder-Length Bob
It’s not just for the ladies. A clean, shoulder-length cut with a middle part can look modern, mature, and super sharp. Great if you want long hair but still want to keep it manageable.
6. Middle Part with Curtain Layers
This one’s making a big comeback. Long hair parted down the middle, with soft layers around the face—gives off that 90s heartthrob energy. Think Johnny Depp in his prime or modern Timothée Chalamet.
7. Textured Ends
Perfect for thick or curly hair. Add some choppy texture to the ends to prevent that “pyramid” shape. It’s great if your hair has volume and you want it to fall naturally without too much styling.
8. Undercut with Long Top
If you want to stand out, try keeping the top long while buzzing or fading the sides. Tie the top into a bun or ponytail, and boom—modern Viking. It’s bold, edgy, and cooler than you’d expect.
9. The Man Bob
This is basically a slightly longer bob that hits just below the chin. Add a clean part, maybe tuck it behind the ears, and you’ve got that artsy, intellectual style locked in.
10. Long and Tidy with a Trimmed Beard
Okay, this isn’t technically a haircut, but combining clean, healthy long hair with a well-groomed beard is a whole look. It’s the rugged-but-refined combo that always hits.
11. Layered with a Fringe (Bangs)
Not for everyone, but if you want something bold, try layering your long hair and adding a fringe. Can be straight across, curtain-style, or shaggy. It adds personality and frames the face in a cool way.
12. Side-Swept Long Hair
Add some light layering and wear your hair with a deep side part. Tuck one side behind the ear, let the other fall naturally. It’s clean, stylish, and gives that “I actually know fashion” vibe.
13. The Samurai-Inspired Cut
Long top, shaved or faded sides, with a top knot or bun. This one’s sharp and modern, especially if you keep the lines clean around the hairline and neck. Definitely a power move.
14. Long Mullet (Modern Version)
Hear me out—this isn’t the old-school redneck mullet. This is the cool, edgy version. Long in the back, layered and styled up front. If done right, it’s pure style. If done wrong… well, don’t do it wrong.
15. Free and Natural
Sometimes, the best haircut is no haircut—just keep it neat. Trim the dead ends every couple of months, maybe clean up the shape slightly, and just let it do its thing. If your hair’s healthy and thick, this one hits hard.
Final Thoughts
Long hair on guys? Underrated and under-celebrated. The key to pulling it off isn’t just letting it grow—it's shaping it to work for you. A good cut makes all the difference between “overgrown” and “styled.”
