Legendary Long Hair Costumes For Guys With Lettuce
Halloween Costumes For Guys With Long Hair
There are dozens of great Halloween costumes for guys with long hair, but you’ve waited until the last possible minute.
There is a party tonight, or tomorrow, or both, and you’ve thought about costume ideas a dozen times, but you have nothing to show for it.
Lucky for you we’ve curated these legendary Halloween costumes for men with long hair—mostly from guys right here in the long hair community.
Try Something New
Take Halloween as an opportunity to do something new and slightly radical with your hair. Curl it, straighten it, braid it, ‘hawk it, spike it, whatever.
Do something you’ve never tried before, but you’ve secretly wanted to—although we don't recommend dying or cutting your locks!
Be Creative
You can be the guy who “decided not to dress up this year,” and sit by yourself in a dark corner drinking wine coolers. Or you can be the guy with long hair who did something epic.
Don’t be like ‘Wine Cooler You.’ Be the ‘Epic You.’
Own It
Wear those locks—and your costume—with courage and bravado. Nothing speaks confidence like a borderline inappropriate costume at your office Halloween luncheon.
Halloween Costumes for Guys With Long Hair
Aquaman
How could we not include the most prominent longhair in pop culture (arguably) from the last decade? Pulled off in stunning fashion by @marshallsmedia and @solid_ronin.
Kid Rock
Twist up your locks and rock out like the American Badass Detroit Cowboy, portrayed by El Rubio with braids and a quick stop at the thrift store. @el_rubio_hq
Thor
This is the God of Thunder at his peak. Muscles glistening, hair flowing and with his first true love, Mjölnir. @Machoo
Plus Sized Thor
Thor had a brutal loss (really several) that he just couldn’t get over and hit the bottle, hard. Put on a few LBs and found possibly the most comfortable P.J.’s of all time. He’s still super, just.. more.. super lazy. At least his trusty axe, Stormbreaker stays by his side. @japalippe
The Joker
The Joker prefers his past to be “multiple choice,” so your costume can be any variation of the iconic villain, from, “want to know how I got these scars?” to, “ Murray, when you bring me out, can you introduce me as Joker?” A classic Halloween costume for guys with long hair, portrayed here by @sassasquatch @pooler35
Post Malone
This pop icon is the perfect costume for the guy who doesn’t want too many props. All you need is your regular clothes and a Sharpie. @liamtricks
Loki
Hair dark as night, skin pale as the moon. Make your friends declare their undying fealty to you when you don the look of the God of Mischief. @chrisofthewake
Khal Drogo
If you’re looking for your khalisi and you’re down to absolutely go for it, attack this Halloween with the shirtless look of the King of the Grasslands. Guaranteed success—Khal Drogo has never lost a battle. @mre2023
Winter Soldier
Our friend @aln.morales nails this iteration of Bucky Barnes, Capt. America’s brainwashed best friend. Metal arm et all.
Tarzan
Proverbial King of the Jungle, our curly hair guest contributor, artist and musician puts other Tarzans to shame. @sergioartandmusic
William Wallace (and Scottish Warriors)
We didn’t get dressed up for nothin! Several takes on perhaps the greatest longhair legend in cinematic history. They may take our lives...but they’ll never take OUR FREEDOM! Among the most legendary Halloween costumes for guys with long hair. @sean_w_harry
King Ezekiel
If you’ve got the locs to replicate the King from The Walking Dead’s ‘Kingdom’, we will *surely* bend the knee. Tiger not included.
Legolas
You could choose virtually any character from Lord of The Rings, but why not the Sindarin Elf, son of the Elvenking Thranduil of Mirkwood, prince of the Woodland Realm? @deanofdank
Jon Snow
Have you taken The Black? Or are you King in the North? Is your hair just past your ears? Or down to your shoulders? Pre or post-resurrection? Possibly dead Jon Snow? Too many spoilers? Don’t worry, you got this.
WWE Wrestler
Whether it’s Macho Man Randy Savage @thereallohali, Triple H @professor_marvin or Hulk Hogan @el_rubio_hq there are endless opportunities here.
Billie Hargrove (Stranger Things)
Billie is a caricature of what made long hair cool in the 80s. Drives a sick muscle car, pumps iron, wears cut-off flannels, and has a hell of a mullet. He also pulls. HARD. He really shined in the latest season of Stranger Things this summer… being possessed and all.
Captain Jack Sparrow
One of the great Halloween costumes for guys with long hair, arguably the finest we’ve seen it executed from @whowantstosavetheworldanyway.
A Patriotic 70’s Bro, Or the Cowbell Guy
A throwback from El Rubio circa 2008, ironically wearing a wig before he actually had long hair. Complemented by Andrew Meeks. @el_rubio_hq
Lucifer
Nothing scarier than the devil himself, @parkershooksfx is realistic enough to make you a little uncomfortable.
Fred Flinstone
Yabba-Dabba DOOOOOOOO! @thereallohali reliably showcasing some of the most well-executed Halloween costumes for guys with long hair.
Wayne & Garth
We’ve seen many versions through the years, but who can beat El Moreno and his wife La Rubia in this dramatic portrayal of two iconic longhairs in American pop culture? @yobarto Maybe @professor_marvin
Joe Dirt
Several inspiring renditions including Halloween 2016 (pictured with Marty McFly), from the Jumbotron at Petco Park @el_rubio_hq and of course our boy @professor_marvin
There you have it team. Try one of these Halloween costumes for guys with long hair, have some fun with it, and send us your pictures!

Comments
Do you have a great non profit you can recommend for hair donations? I heard locks for love has some unethical practices. I have a bunch of hair that I cut and have since regrown and would like to get it to a location that would make a wig out of it
Absolutely! Get in touch with Children With Hair Loss. They are an excellent and highly ethical non profit.
Often when someone posts a photo or video of himself with a long snake down his back, one of the most common remarks on the comment board is, “He has never lost a battle!”
One of my all time favorite posts! ! Looking forward to seeing this year’s
photos.
I was The Dude last year when my hair was still just a little too short to do it justice. That sweater is definitely making a reappearance this year.
Awesome!
Long distance Forrest Gump was a hit at my work party. Now I’m doubling down and going win my girlfriend to a party as Lt. Dan (me with long hair) and my girlfriends just gonna throw her hair in a pony and wear the Forrest Gump getup. Forrest Gump for the win lol
Nice! Love it!
Went as DeGrom last year, people loved it the resemblance was uncanny
I went as Johnny Depp from Blow last year (George Jung) and for the few that recognised it, it was a hit.
Dude yes!!! That’s freakin epic.
We’re gonna do a call for Halloween pictures pretty soon, so keep that one close by.
I went as Goku the other day and it went better than expected. A lot of hairspray for sure, but worth it.
Khal Drogo all the way as he`s the reason that led me on this journey to long (really long) hair so thats a given and he wouldnt look half as terrifying without his mane.
or, as a shaman, like at an old party with little children:
Righteous Chamane!
Well done, guys! Esp the two original ones, although El Rubio looks very odd with black hair.
Ironically, that was a wig. As you know.
