To be completely honest, it wasn't until college that I began to notice guys with long hair. Perhaps it was because no guys from my high school ever had long hair, or maybe because the only long hair I was exposed to was the really greasy old biker men with long pony tails. Either way, my eyes were opened to a whole new world filled with gorgeous locks when I came to college, and I've learned there are some things about a guy when his long hair is done right that are the reasons why they are winning.

The hair flip.

Yeah, that's the one.

They can relate to bad hair days.
There's something to grab...

...when you need to leave them defenseless.

They own the wild and free look.

It shows they care.

They might seem care free, but you know it actually took time and effort to look that good.

You can borrow their headbands.

...or maybe not.

Two words: man bun.

They take advantage of their gorgeous mane because, honestly, it might not always stick around.

So to all you long-haired studs out there, keep letting your long locks fly because, well, it just works.
