Long Hairstyles For Guys With Straight Hair

The Long And Straight Of It

The Longhairs’ team is admittedly composed mostly of guys with straight hair. Such as it is, we are well-qualified to bring you the top five best long hairstyles for straight hair.

Having long, straight hair is a blessing that comes with a curse. We just don’t have the natural volume and texture of our wavy and curly-haired brethren, and some long hairstyles for straight hair tend to look flat. That being the case we’ve selected styles and tactics that help turn flat into PHAT.

While most of these hairstyles are versatile enough to employ on any occasion, always consider practicality and presentation. Probably shouldn’t choose Willie Nelson braids if you have to leave in five minutes. And while breathtaking, The Let It Ride might not be how to style long hair for a job interview.

Selecting The Best Long Hairstyles For Straight Hair

Consider the activities you’re about to be thrust into. Are you going to be around machinery? Is there a chance your hair may get wet? Do you need to be ready for anything, or is today just about looking your best and feeling your most confident?

When choosing the best long hairstyle for the day, pick something that’s both practical and adds to your look. Especially if you’re going to be dressed to the nines, consider how your hair will complete the ensemble.
