The Longhairs Library

We’ve celebrated long locks in the NFL, NBA, NHL and MLB. We’ve admired manes from world-renowned scientists, American presidents and legendary warriors. We’ve even shown love for the great lettuce in fiction, the old American west and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It therefore seems inconceivable we’ve never covered

We’ve had 40 guests on The Longhairs Professional Series, where we interview professional men with lettuce, illustrating success stories and advocating for long hair in the workplace. Each man and his story inspires confidence, and CJ Forse is another standout example.

As we are settling in at the new warehouse we’re taking a minute to see if anyone is ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING AROUND HERE!

Over the last two weeks we’ve been moving into our new HQ in Barrio Logan. Moving day was beset with obstacles, which El Moreno fumed about in a legendary rant.

For the last year we’ve known we needed to move into a bigger space. The 800 square feet we’ve been working under has served us well for several years. Rent was affordable, the space was workable and we were able to squeeze every last inch out of it. We might have just stayed if we knew what would happen on moving day.

As guys with buckets of hair covering our head and face, keeping it all under control takes work. Our beards are under constant attack by the elements, food and drink, and a beard’s arch-nemesis, the face mask. These factors can leave our beards in disarray and amplify our grooming needs.

It seems obvious, but people often ask, “why have long hair,” while others insist you should cut your hair. A quick internet search for the “best thing about long hair” will reveal plenty of good reasons, but the truth is…it’s different for everyone.

We make a lot of content for guys with long hair, but we’ve never covered how to maintain a long beard with long hair. A fraternity within a fraternity, having long hair and a long beard poses unique challenges, opportunities and maintenance requirements that every man with twofold flow should be prepared for.

Hair ties designs used to be one of those taboo topics guys didn’t talk about. It remained unspoken, but every guy with long hair has had questions—along with opinions, preferences, and even downright convictions.

“Come on, feel the noise Girls, rock your boys We'll get wild, wild, wild Wild, wild, wild”

In classic form, we saved this New Year’s post for January 3.
