00:07hair is hair no matter the gender of the person so in the spirit of doing whatever we want we
00:14decided to celebrate the most beautiful spring hairstyles on long locks that just so happened
00:19to belong to men but first the history of men long hair throughout history men's hairstyles
00:27have been heavily influenced by religion social status wars and celebrities from the glorious
00:34long-haired samurai warriors to the wigs and riches of the 17th century frenchmen to the
00:39rastafarian inspired dreadlocks mainstreamed by bob marley in the 70s long locks on men have evolved
00:45drastically over time in the present we've seen the rise and fall of man buns uzi vert and bieber
00:52dreads kaepernick's controversial fro and even the carefree bro flow it seems that these days
00:59just about anything goes
01:10i originally started growing out my hair because i want to do locks of love
01:14i usually just um i'll put it up in a bun or like where you just put like this part
01:19and i'll pull and like let it i don't know what that's called i don't know how you girls do
01:23that
01:23with your arms my shoulders get tired after like three seconds so every time i call my mom she
01:27always asks have you cut your hair yet matt so come on give me a break please am i pretty
01:33now
01:35okay i don't want to touch it this would definitely be an upgrade to my normal hair look a little
01:39a little something more fresh you know i feel like i could pull this off i just need to invest
01:43in
01:43some some bobby pins bobby pins and just twist and pin i have been growing my hair out for about
01:53five years now i decided to pick a hairstyle where i don't have to do my hair a lot but
01:58still have a
01:58good natural look to myself i have missed out on opportunities because of the length of my hair
02:05but i've also gained a lot of opportunities for the length of my hair as well because not everybody
02:09can grow the type of hair that i have or maybe pull it off the way i pull it off
02:13i should say
02:25hey okay that is what i'm talking about makes me feel good one because my hair is not everywhere
02:32like i don't worry have to worry about the wind blowing or anything like this or my hair in my
02:36face
02:36i can just go i feel like i'm free her i should say
02:47i've been growing my hair for about three years my daughter loves playing with my hair
02:51she like tends to braid it but she doesn't really know how to braid yet my mom was like so
02:55how long
02:55are you gonna let it go because you know it's like long and then it's like getting like really long
03:00i'm listening to metal josh what's going on i've actually been doing braids a lot lately just because
03:05it's gets it out of the way i sometimes do one braid like they wear in portlandia it's been a
03:10lot of fun having long hair get to try a bunch of different styles and kind of keep things fresh
03:14and changing all the time there's a functionality to braids i love and i think this kind of spiral
03:21thing it's some crazy sacred geometry going on right now so i'm into that
03:33i think yeah i would i wear my hair all kinds of ways and this is probably the most fancy
03:39it's
03:39been but uh i'm excited to go wear it out
03:44i've been growing my hair for since second grade i think so maybe like 15 14 years
03:51i'm from dc so like everybody back home has like locks but then also went to pepperdine which
03:55is like predominantly white area and it was just kind of like they were in awe like i got so
04:01many
04:01questions is it real like just so many different perceptions depending on the person's background
04:05having long hair shows commitment uh shows personality it shows the ability to stick to
04:10something for a long amount of time through adversity
04:16tips for people who are trying to go to hair long don't cheat don't get fake extensions men
04:22actually put in the work go through each stage
04:28oh that's dope i like the designs in the back it looks really cool it'd be actually kind of hard
04:32for me to do it myself but i i do actually really like it
04:38i didn't want to get a haircut so i just never did and it just kept going my mom has
04:43dreads that's
04:44pretty cool so we're kind of like on a hair off kind of thing the only people that have told
04:49me to cut
04:50my hair would be directors and if they're telling me i just say no and then i don't take the
04:54role
04:55most of the time wind is what styles my hair i'm sorry if it's a pain to comb my hair
05:18it goes all the way back i don't know maybe uh maybe a little too femme for me it makes
05:23me think
05:23of princess leia and i like the poof anyway the poof's fun
05:30i've been growing my hair for about three or four years and i just trim the tips every couple
05:36months most of the time people think it's a wig or it's fake and they ask like oh can i
05:41touch your
05:42hair as i was growing out my hair every couple of months it would look really nice and then like
05:46maybe there will be like a stage after that where like you know why the hell does my hair look
05:50like
05:50this and then a stage will be like okay it looks good again and then you know it's just a
05:55back and
05:55fourth thing um am i nervous well um just a little bit because i don't even know what's gonna happen
06:24like i've transformed and stuff now you can see my face now oh this hair makes me feel
06:31like i could drive with the window down now i have been growing out my hair for two years the
06:40shape
06:40of the back of my head didn't match the front of my forehead so i was like i'm just gonna
06:45grow out my
06:46hair long hair will get all over your face and in your mouth and in your nose and wherever your
06:53face is
06:54it's uh it's gonna get over so be prepared
07:02i'm the type of guy that would take risk
07:27this look made me feel like i look like a poodle right now look cute as
07:35look
07:36i feel like men guys but all of us we should be able to do what we want with our
07:40hair when you have
07:41longer hair it has more option to do crazy things which can be a pain but it can also be
07:45super fun
07:46people do tell me that i should get rid of my long hair i'm more about like testing boundaries um
07:52i want
07:52to rewrite the rules as opposed to following them so it's part of my identity so that's why i keep
07:56it
07:57short hair is cool but i like having the wind blow through my hair honestly
