Long hair is a major trend for young men these days, with Kate Hudson’s son, Ryder, as its poster child. Personally, I think little boys with long hair look like girls, but once they’ve gone through puberty, that’s another story (Smith Jerrod on SATC before he shaved his head, anyone?). Amelia and I were discussing how guys with longish hair (shoulder length or shorter) can be very attractive, as long as they take care of it. I asked a friend of mine who has long hair for his rationale for growing his hair out. “I never set out to ‘have long hair,’ I just stopped getting it cut,” he said. “I liked it more and more the longer it got—it just kind of “fit” (And it became much more practical when it got to ponytail length.) Most guys who find long hair appealing already have the requisite style and personality to pull it of, so it usually works out. Oh, and the ladies love it. Really.”
What do you think about guys with long hair? And is there an age after which it becomes unacceptable for a guy to have longer hair? Tell us what you think in the comments. [Chicago Tribune]

No on beards. But long hair HOT! So long as it’s not like Fabio processed. But I’ve been a fan of long hair on guys since headbanging.

Long hair, yes, if it’s no longer than shoulder length. Pony tails, NEVER!

I love long hair on guys. It makes me swoon almost every time. When I was dating M. he had long hair, I think that’s what initially attracted me. He has a buzz cut now which I like too, but long hair is just yummy.

I am not personally into long hair on guys. But then again, I’m into bald guys, so that probably makes sense. I like guys with hair that’s long enough to run my fingers through or pull on but not super long like you’re talking about - more for you long hair lovers.
