Way back in biblical times and then throughout various ancient eras, it was common for men to wear their hair long. As time progressed, that changed. But in the 1960s and 1970s during the “hippie days,” long hair once again became popular.
Usually, many of these guys were judged, negatively. There were also bikers that many people thought of as “bad boys.” Overall, if someone saw a man with long hair at that time, they’d immediately have negative thoughts, which wasn’t always warranted.
Well, we’re now in 2021 and things have changed yet again … for the better. Today, a lot of men sport long hair, including executives of prominent companies. It’s a trend that gives people a completely different perspective.
As you’ll see with these 75 guys, long hair does them justice. Okay, the truth is that with long hair and all, these men look fantastic. Check it out for yourself.
1. Is this the same guy?

2. The “come hither” look
