In Celebrate by El Mysterioso8 Comments

The best part of this community is hearing stories like these.

We’re compelled to share this story of a longhair connection, 30,000 ft. above Europe, over whisky, rock & roll and men’s hair ties, as told by El Mysterioso. If that is his real name.

It’s a real shocker.

The Response In 2015

In Celebrate by El Moreno7 Comments

2015 was the inaugural year of The Longhairs, and building a community for men with long hair.

It was our first year of content, producing a blog post once a week, rain or shine, and its demands. With help from guests and contributors, we published articles, videos, tutorials, interviews, podcasts, longhair stories and more. They weren’t always perfect, but it was all original.

What You Didn’t Know About Your Friend With Long Hair

In Advocate by El Rubio18 Comments

Chances are you know at least one man or boy with long hair. He might be a family member, boyfriend or husband, a casual acquaintance, or just a Facebook friend you don’t remember ever meeting. It could be someone you’ve known for years who always had short hair, but recently made the life decision to grow it out. You probably haven’t thought much about this guy’s long hair, or his struggle. That’s because there are things you simply don’t think about unless you are a man with long hair.

Why Your Boss Has Short Hair

In Advocate by El Rubio5 Comments

There’s an excellent chance your boss has short hair. Most bosses do. Your boss’ boss has short hair, and the people who have been telling your boss what to do for decades have all had short hair. It’s no question longhairs are discriminated against in the world of the professional workforce. In this case the guy had to show he was suffering from a body image disorder just to get his job back. Long hair limits your upward mobility. It’s hard to be a boss with long hair.

When You See Other Longhairs

In Celebrate by El Rubio34 Comments

You might not have noticed before. When you had short hair, it rarely caught your attention. Now you notice. Flowing, ponytail’d, tied up or braided, you see other guys with long hair. You might even wonder things like, how long has he been growing it? What kind of hair ties are those? What kind of conditioner does he use? Even if you don’t ask yourself those questions, now that you have long hair you probably notice other guys with long hair. What do you do when you see them? Until now, maybe you’ve done nothing. But the truth is, we are a community. Longhair Godfather Bill Choisser estimates 2%-5% of the adult male population has long hair. That’s only 2-5 out of every 100 guys. That Fact Alone Makes Us A CommunityBut so do other things. Straight or curly, neat or messy, tied up or loose and flowing, we’ve made the …

Long Hair at High Speed

In Celebrate by El Rubio6 Comments

Obviously, long hair is awesome, and for countless reasons. One reason you might not realize is that long hair at high speed is outstanding.

It looks the same at every speed, which is pretty boring to begin with.
