Comment on Long Haired Men, How Do You Take Care of Your Hair??

Hairties leading to a receding hairline sounds like grade A bullshit to me, sure it might pull some hairs out but in that case either you’re going to lose the hair regardless or you need to tie it looser.
As for product: just don’t. If you’ve rubbed cowpats into your hair for some reason then just use regular soap to clean it, anything more advanced is a scam perpetrated by product companies to make you spend money on expensive shampoo that strips your hair and scalp of natural oils so that you have to also buy expensive conditioner to put oils back…
Just scrub your body and rub your hair a bunch in the shower, and use as fine-toothed of a comb as you can find on your hair every day, to distribute the oils through your hair. This is what people have done since we invented combs (and we invented them pretty damn quick) and it works fine.

As a man with somewhat curly hair, i would never be able to run a fine toothed comb through my hair… find one that fits you, everyone is different.
But i agree with the washing tip, as a mason ionly use soap when i have done really dusty work (grinding concrete, cut out stones etc.) And else i just scrub my scalp with my fingers a couple times.
And for styling your hair? Hair ties are god given… pony tails, man buns you name it… but do you want to spoil yourself? Learn to braid your own hair, and find a style that suits you

Seconding braiding. Looks nice, stays nice without product, doesn’t pull the hair as much as a tie alone, and less breakage than a tie alone. I was able to grow my hair and additional six inches behind the previous terminal length when I switched to braiding as my go-to style over ponytail.
