Would you be attracted to a man who had long shouder lengh hair with Gray in it?

Question

And if his hair is also kind of layered/feathered straight and thin and he has a slight receeding hairline.And he usually wears a scarf or a hat.

This is my Husband and I am trying to get him to cut it and look neat. He thinks women like men with long hair.
he just retired from Army less than 2 years ago. He is 46 years old.
Am I wrong to be turned off my this look?
Your opinion would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Why I think this look is down right sexy. I'm not gay or nothing but if I was I'd be drawn to the type of man who would sport such a dramatic coif. Only thing is I'd tell him to ditch the scarf and let his freak flag fly

Answer 2

I've always been very focused on hair. I have a cosmetology license and I cannot help but analyze everyone's hair. However, my Fiance broke my mold. I focus less on my Fiance's hair and more on his personality. I think you can slowly make changes, but it is too hard on a guy, especially one in his late 40's or older to make drastic changes. Go for small/minor changes each time, like a few inches at a time vs the whole thing. Don't give him too hard of a time about it. I'd just appreciate him for being a great person, and if he is stuck on his hair, let him have it. Just as long as he's a great husband. Everyone will recognize him for his personality and know he's great - his hair won't make the difference.

Answer 3

Sure I would be attracted to such a man, as long as the hair is clean. Every time my husband's hair starts to get curly, he gets it cut. He also served 20 in the Army and is so used to the military haircut that he won't let his grow. If the man treats you well and is not a bum, don't worry about his hair! Just his way of rebelling a little after all this time of conformity.

Answer 4

Long hair on guys can be attractive, but after the grey starts to show it is time for a shorter style. Long layers to the collar might be an option?
And he needs to know that you are the only woman that needs to be turned on by his hair! What does he care what other women think? It is between you and him what is considered sexy in his grooming and hairstyle choice!
No, you are not wrong!

Answer 5

I don't think anyone is ever wrong for not being attracted to one thing or another.

Gray I'd be ok with. Balding I'd be ok with. Shoulder-length, on the other hand, is something I find kind of creepy and "Old Hippy-Looking".

He shouldn't worry about his hairline and ought to ditch hats - and particularly scarves.

Maybe after being in the Army people like to let their hair get long, but I think your hero husband should make the most of his relatively young age by trimming the hair and not worrying about a hairline. (Have you ever noticed how men who have threatened hairlines often seen to want to make up for it by growing too much hair elsewhere? :) )

Answer 6

It would really depend on his face shape and features. In my opinion, guys with long hair look a bit old-fashioned, but I am only 15. Plus most guys that I see that have long hair do not keep it clean and it is all straggly and oily. Ewww. But then again my hairdresser used to have hair all the way down to his bum, and he always had it in a neat plait, and it looked cool. It was always clean as well.

Answer 7

I enjoyed my short hair as quickly as I had it (It became right into a pixie decrease). that's a drastic replace if it became into lengthy formerly, yet i think of it in basic terms takes some getting used to. On some women folk, short hair does not seem too great by way of fact their face shape in basic terms does not jive, yet with the staggering decrease, it could seem very suited.

Answer 8

I'm not really into guys, but I have long hair so I have to defend his decision. I imagine you married him for other reasons than just his looks. Since he had to have it short for so long in the military maybe he just want's to "let his hair down" for a bit and go back to the 70's. Have you found any "funny" looking plants behind the shed?

Answer 9

well i go on eyes and smell really. hair is not an issue. i can walk past someone in the street and think oh my, just by their cologne. maybe it's the years of having to have neat hair that has made him rebel, hi is a little older now. and why is he trying to attract women, aren't you the woman he needs to attract?

Answer 10

I'd let him be for a few more months...My husband (and LOTS of them do this...) had the same problem...got out of the AF after 21 yrs..grew his hair out, looked like a bum, lowered his car, started listening to rap, snaping at me....so I let him have it...I left it be...after about 8mnths...he cut his hair, sold the car to a teenager, stopped listening to rap.
Since he has no one to answer to in his 'new' job..he's not so nasty.
Woman across the street...her husband got out, grew his hair to his waist (bald on top...) left her for someone 'younger'...so she's taking him to the cleaners...(hahahahahahaha...)
If you live in a military town I bet you ask 1/2 the wives and they'll have similar stories....
They need to let loose somehow of all the 'constriants' of the military...
If you don't like his hair..take him to a salon to get it styled and colored. (that'll get his a** in a twist...and might make him 'shape up'.)
