20 Terrific Long Hairstyles for Black Men
Shoulder-length natural curls are a classic
Afro look. Most men wear them centre-parted, opening the forehead, or
in a sort of swept to one side style if texture allows. Younger guys can
try A-line styles with free coils falling on the forehead and cheeks.
Another fun male style suggests trimming your curls in a rounded shape
with the longest hair standing upright on the top.
Black Men with Long Hair
Dreadlocks are super flattering for African
Americans and, definitely, look cooler on men than on women. These
create a fantastic look when being scattered over your shoulders and top
of the back. For a more formal style it’s enough to gather them into a
low ponytail.
If a fancy braided look seems more
appealing to you, try neat cornrows running vertically off the forehead.
Most men dislike overly fancy styles, sticking to classy patterns, like
this one. More versatile braided hairstyles can be viewed in the
gallery braids for men.
Twists are fun and manlier than braids. A
full head of thick curls is a treasure, but a man always needs to look
neat and fresh. Twists keep luxurious coils off your forehead and face
and offer a classy pattern that is alternative to braids. Even hair
extensions look cool in long twisted men’s hairstyles.

the good times with this hairstyle.

keeps hair out of the way.
