Although we do love a good disconnected undercut or fade, it’s impossible to deny that longer hairstyles are coming back in a big way this year. Look at Jared Leto’s beard and mid-length layered hair combination, Keanu Reeves’ raven locks, or Game of Thrones‘ star Kit Harrington’s longish curls, and you’d definitely agree that mid length hair is one of the hottest styles for men at the moment. If you’d like to try the look out for yourself – now is the best time. Just remember – although growing out your hair may seem like a pretty straightforward process, there are a few important things you should bear in mind. Your face shape is very important – if you have a rounder face, it is advisable to go for a layered style which creates more volume towards the top of your head, while staying relatively leaner on the sides. Guys with slimmer faces, on the other hand, can afford to go for long and voluminous hair. Mid length shaggy styes are ideal for men who have strongly pronounced facial features, like large ears or a big nose. Another important point to bear in mind is that there will be quite a lot of awkward stages while your hair is growing. As it starts to get longer it will become unruly, and there will be days when you’d feel like putting paper bag over your head. Don’t be discouraged though! The final result will make it all worth-wile. Finally, and perhaps most importantly – do not go overboard with hair products and grooming! Using too much gel or conditioner can lead to increased greasiness, which is one of your worst enemies. Also, try to avoid blow dryers unless it’s absolutely necessary.
