The Desire and Making the Move

Thankfully The Longhairs have already fixed this problem with better names: the high ball and the men’s tail. *Whew*. Anyway, deep down inside I always wanted to try a *cough* high ball, but I never did for the fear of being made fun of.

One night before going to church, I decided it was time, but I had no hair ties. I debated buying some for weeks, but I cringed at the thought of having to visit the women’s hair care aisle. I asked my mom to borrow a hair tie, and I tied it up.

To my surprise, the feedback was positive! I had a few giggles, a few looks, but for the most part, people were supportive.

Searching For A Lifeline

I was encouraged by how well it went, so I came home and started searching YouTube for videos about men’s long hair. Then I discovered The Longhairs. I immediately began watching the channel, discovered Hair Ties For Guys and placed an order that night.

That night I had a major breakthrough moment: what stopped me from tying my hair up for all of these years? I let a silly fear get the best of me and prevented myself from doing some super rad styles. After discovering The Longhairs and the community around them, I don’t feel alone anymore.

Hair Ties For Guys have been a confidence booster. One of the things preventing me from tying my hair up was the thought of wearing those feminine hair ties around my wrist. It just didn’t seem “manly.”

Now I happily sport Hair Ties For Guys on my wrist every day, and it doesn’t even feel like a hair tie! It honestly looks like a stylish bracelet. However, don’t let the good looks fool you—the functionality is outstanding.

Just Do It

If you are hesitating to tie your hair up, don’t. Why? Because it’s your hair. Do what you want with it. Only the diehard jerks will make fun of you, and luckily there’s a handy list on how to respond to them. They don’t know what cool hair is anyway ?

Part of the fun of having long hair is being able to style it, so don’t stop yourself from trying new things. Tying your hair up can be functional too, because let’s face it, no one likes eating hair when you are just trying to eat spaghetti.
