Headband Hairstyles for Men
The Headband: A Versatile Tool for Guys
You’ve worn it down, you’ve tied it up, you’ve rocked all types of hats and headwear...but have you tried the headband, or the many headband hairstyles for men?
They might feel unfamiliar at first, but you quickly realize this versatile tool can become a staple within your arsenal of long hairstyles for men—especially if you have short to medium-length hair and you’re growing it longer. If you are in the awkward stage, or your hair is just above your shoulders and too short to tie it back, the headband is a ridiculously easy way to keep the hair out of your eyes.
For more experienced longhairs, not only is the headband a great way to keep the hair out of your face, but you can get creative with combinations of tying or twisting your hair while utilizing the headband.
Headbands come in all shapes, sizes, colors and materials. There are thin elastic bands, thick headbands in elastic or cloth, plastic arches, headbands with teeth, some with rubber and silicone on the inside and many others.
Let’s just say there are many options, but these headband hairstyles feature The Longhairs' thin headbands, thick headbands and full-fitting headbands (we call 'em headwraps). From there all the styles are pretty straightforward. With that little burst of inspiration, here they are...

Has it come across during pandemic days- that head wraps can be a mask too? Keeping mask handy on ur head or around the neck for indoor use (or bank shenanigans ).
Astute point Ted, we have been using them for masks but not as much w/ the shenanigans!
Quick spell help for you then probably want to delete this comment. I think you meant medically-related right at the bottom.
Fixed! Thank you ami!
I’m not a big fan of the thinness of the headbands, but I love your headwraps… I just wish you had more solid dark colors; I don’t tend to look good in patterns or bright. I love my Ninja, Hyperdyne, and Escape Velocity. Any forthcoming plans for more colors? Maroon? Purple? Burnt orange?
YO ACE! Great feedback man, we appreciate it. Duly noted on the colors, I think we need some more red also. Stay tuned amigo.
The ones where you double them up look really good, love it!
Also, those kid models are squooshable (speaking as a gramma). <3
AGREED ON ALL COUNTS
I work in a customer facing retail role, my hair is in my face a lot
Got to give it a go
Although customer reactions is a worry
Would I be taken seriously anymore!
Absolutely. More seriously.
Yo mate, can i get the futboler style from your store?
We are working on this mate! We should have by early next year.
They are here amigo! https://thelonghairs.us/collections/headbands
Where can I get a good thin headband because I only see the thick ones on your store. I really want to get one thick headband and one thin one to see which I like better!
We are working on them mate! They’ll be coming out this year and will be dopy city.
So I’m pretty much in the awkward stage but I’m curious as to how long it should be before I start rockin the headband?
The headbands are great for any length of hair. Especially in the awkward stage.
just got into wearing headbands. I love them. Thought they were girly for years but then finally got the guts to go out and get some plastic headbands and now wear them everyday. Get alot of weird looks but who cares. I love wearing them in the driving style image as you have on here.
They’re looking at you because you look AWESOME! And they only wish they could rock it like you.
thanks for the comment, I just love headbands i cant go a day without them now
Hey Man, love the looks
If you don’t mind my asking where’d you get the runners choice headband?
Keep it up!
That’s the Ninja Gaiden which you can find here: https://thelonghairs.us/collections/headwraps/products/black-headwrap
We are currently sold out but should be back online with these soon.
Any tips on washing the headbands?
You can just throw them in the washer and then let them air dry.
You should reshoot these photos with the longhairs products!
Hey Jude, you got that right! Tacked onto the queue.
Hey,
Just stumbled upon this great page.
Love the headband styles.
I want to to know what type od headband you have used in the “the UP&BACK” style, cant take my eyes of it. Love its kinda tribal look.
Any amazon or any other link that you can gimme to buy it.
I use the common steel-like headband(you know the ripple shaped one) but my hair get entangled in it while removing the band (trying for To grow my mane in hot n humid climat, pray for me)so i need a wide toothed style headband like the one in thr “UP&BACK” above.
Thanx bruh
!!
Yea man that’s a solid one. So something like this is what I used
What type of headband are you using in “THE UP & BACK” ?
It’s a toothed plastic style band
I’m digging the runners choice!!! Not only does it get the hair out of your face and off your neck, the headband pulls back the flyways. Awesome style, i possibly might use that even went I don’t work out!
IT’S MONEY!!
Just tried a few and I love having less tension so there will be less breakage. I am in the same boat as Humberino where I was doing a pony tail just to keep the hair out of my eyes and face but these are really great options. The ones with the thickest band will be great for when it gets cold too. Awesome advice and thanks for the detailed pictures!
BONUS!
Don’t forget about the old standard issue red bandana. Been around for years.
I use these and I love them. You can wear it normal to just get the hair out of your face, which is why I bought it. It looks good with your hair up or down. And you can also wear it backwards, put your hair in a ball and just slip it into the pouch area. It doesn’t look the greatest, so I only wear it like this at home. lol Its a great way to quickly get the hair off you neck when its hot, without having to use a hair tie. They fit nice when you get them, but they stretch out after a while. 15$ is a bit pricey for a headband, but its value and ease is a no brainer for me. You guys should definitely consider making some of your own. 🙂

Dude those are sick. I like how big it is, kinda like a half beanie.
The one problem I have with headbands is that they always slip back. Even the ones with the rubber backing.
I got some mad curly hair and the plastic ones with the teeth are a bit rough on my locks.
Any suggestions?
and you can also wear the headband as Father Di Giuseppe, a french priest of the church of the very holy consumption parish of Lille
one condition: that it is scratched from a great mark

You guys should start selling your own headbands as well
Not a bad idea there London
Headbands are great! I use them for the gym and for running, and sometimes at work 🙂
They got to be the best thing for running for sure.
Thanks bro, loving this. Just 8 months into my journey, so eying the basics at the moment. Gotta keep on keeping that growth coming. You guys keep me focused. Thanks!
Hell yea Andy. You got this! The headbands are awesome in your stage, even if it’s just when your around the house. They keep everything out of your way so you can handle business.
I used a headband during my awkward stage last year. I’m not sure I’d say that I was successful… but I did. Maybe it’s time to revisit it now that I’ve got a flowing mane that very little can tame. I don’t like having it roped up and tied down just to keep it out of my eyes and mouth.
Live long and proud!
Yea man, lot less stress on the hair. Give them another shot!
Great looks! Some classy Longhairs headbands for guys would be a good product addition.
😉
Ive been rocking the headband for over a year now. I always rock the daily driver. comes in handy when im working and it doesn’t cause the tension headache that pulling back does.
Excellent point Micheal. That is huge with the headband, zero tension.
would a bandana work as well as a head band?
