Make It A Double High Ball

A VERY Long Hairstyle For Men

This is a variation on a style we’ve demonstrated previously, The High Ball, which I’ve grown particularly fond of. I rock it at least three times a week. It’s quick, effective and looks good with any attire. But as my hair has grown past my chest, I’ve found myself searching for a very long hairstyle.

Because I Don’t Have Time For Flyaways

You know what I’m talking about. Those pesky, annoying, face-tickling, eye-poking, never-stay-in-a-hair tie little shits. They’re always flying around, getting loose and causing big-time frustration.

Lately I’ve just been getting overwhelmed by the amount of flyaways and something had to be done. It’s time we put these little asswholes in their place and show’em who’s boss.

That’s how, with some experimentation, I have developed The Double High Ball. It conquers the flyaways for good. How, you might ask?

Two reasons. First, unlike The Menstail, The Foldover, or The High Ball, The Double High Ball can be positioned higher, near the crown of your skull, so those flyaways closer to your face and the front of your head are better-secured within the formation.

Second, those would-be flyaways are locked in by the longer hair wrapped around them, which comes from the hair on the back of your head—thus completing this very long hairstyle.

Execute This Very Long Hairstyle

It should be noted this very long hairstyle is geared towards a flowing mane kinda guy. Shorter and mid-length bros can definitely try it out, it just might be a little bit tougher to pull off, as this technique requires a lot of hair.

Also worth noting, as one of my early video tutorials (as pointed out numerous times in the comments), I didn’t manage to provide the best viewing angle when actually tying my hair 😂 In any case, you should get the gist.

Watch the tutorial, give it a shot, and let me know how it works for you in the comments.
