How To Style Longer hair | My Own Hair Routine

How I style my longer hair. I have tried a lot of hairstyles over the years, including a typical short fade and more recently some classic men’s hairstyles, but I am now loving my grown-out long hair. This also means I’ve been trying lots of different men’s hair products. I’m new to this longer length, so I’m still learning, but I’ve found a great thickening pre-styler, a sea salt spray, and a spray putty which are really working for my new hairstyle. Do you have long hair or are you growing your hair out? If so, which products are you using? Let me know down below in the comments.

What do you think? Like it?

[@SunnyGoodman]

Love it

[@catclipshorts]

looks cool on you robin

[@kristenpotter7100]

You have great hair! I love a clean cut on a man, but a guy who can rock long hair is super attractive.

[@OhWaker]

I like it very much. It reminds me of 90s Leonardo DiCaprio and medieval and fantasy movies from that era.

[@kurtstrauss4083]

Love it! Keep on growing !

[@joseluischaves8166]

What I love about this channel is that You don't get too much into the "usual fashion youtuber" that makes the videos everyone is doing and just overexagerate their talking and just give akward advice. You have such elegance, style and that european classy style that I just LOVE. You're the definition to style and elegance. Keep it up Robin, this is, hands down, the best channel for men's lifestyle.

[@cmn6772]

Robin cant thank you enough for your channel! This channel is top tier quality with no bs or lollygaging, straight to the point. Its hard to find that in youtube nowadays. You're the man!

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks so much.

[@kacza1472]

The dislikes are from guys who did a buzz cut

[@ManForHimself]

Haha! True!

[@blankets9237]

Robin James i completely regret buzz cutting

[@simona_sigmund1001]

I shaved my head during lockdown after having waist long hair most my life. I love your channel and it's been really helpful for me as a girl who's discovering short hairstyles for the 1st time. I'm growing it out again so this was PERFECT for me

[@mrpersonality3497]

Been going with the 90s Pierce Brosnan look for years. Bet that's gonna finally come back now! Great video and thanks for the tips!

[@gravesplendour3481]

I am currently in the 'so long everything I do means either greasey or helmet hair' phase. The sea salt spray and low temperature hair dryer are lifesavers! Plus a hair band for when it is completely out of control.

[@ManForHimself]

I've been using a hair band for training. So needed.

[@danielkoh4979]

Looks amazing man. Keep up the good up work. I’ve always struggled with having fine hair and not knowing what to do with it. You have quite literally been the only one to help me out over the years. Lots of respect.

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Daniel.

[@axo4383]

Thank you! Finally a good guide for us long hair havers!

[@dragnfly138]

Thanks so much. I am trying to help my husband take better care of his very fine, long hair. Plus I am tired of it just not looking as good as it could.

[@chrissinclairrr]

This is the best page I’ve found to help me as I navigate through my “growing my hair out” journey! Such good information, but most of all, you give me the confidence to just give it a shot and figure it out! I recommend this all the time! Keep up the great work!

[@ManForHimself]

Love this. So happy to be able to help.

[@tanneryoung9284]

Just started growing my hair out. This was perfect! Happy to see a website to give me direction on hairstyles and great product reveries. Excellent!

[@phillipandrew87]

Absolutely love it! (Also thanks for that hairstyle inspiration directory, been a big help.) Honestly, I'm overall really loving the grown out styles we've been seeing this year (probably thanks to lockdown). I hope it's a look though that sticks around.

[@ManForHimself]

Ah, this is good. So glad it's helpful, Philip.

[@yuvarajbasu9100]

I grew my hair to the shoulder. Rocked a man bun, then took out the sides, kept a top knot and my hair was about 12 inches, and now I have buzzed it out. So having experienced everything, I am proud man! And I am proud of u too!

[@ManForHimself]

Cheers Yuvaraj.

[@sjpiran]

I love your longer hair, it looks beautiful. I think you should keep growing it longer and longer 😍

[@ckiress278]

Woah, long hair looks really good on you!

[@mrgnstudios557]

loving the longer hair bro! I've been growing mine out for a year... so far so good :P

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Morgan

[@rusty6408]

Slowly catching up with your hair length Robin! I'm really enjoying trying out some new styles and videos like this give great insight. Thanks Robin

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Frank.

[@huzaifanazir363]

Yeah every guy needed this video. This quarantine really made us wild.

[@caganylmaz369]

Robin! I have been following you since the early days and I don't know how I missed this video, I have the same hair texture as you in general (fine but loads of it) and your hair length here is the same length that I am currently rocking. This video helped a lot, thank you!

[@edgarmancenido6045]

Love the “Lockdown Locks” Robin

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks. Really enjoying it!

[@Los6317]

I really like it! My hair is in the longest it has ever been too!

[@ManForHimself]

Are you going to keep it long?

[@Los6317]

Robin James Yes, I think so

Such a useful video, was just about to cut mine back down after lockdown growth/style frustration. Many thanks.

[@craigadams1624]

You've made life worth living again. Gracias senor. Gracias!!!

[@jpaulog9809]

Excellent, I've been waiting for this! 👏

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks!

[@fifabeastxd8165]

My hair is a bit longer than yours, but the advice and overall routine are very applicable.

[@nah.4798]

I needed this!! Been growing out my hair during lockdown and the back of my hair is SO bad now, I’ve had no maintenance cuts either. even with a cap on it looks like it’s about to pop out

[@yuvarajbasu9100]

Then use a beanie

[@nah.4798]

Yuvaraj Basu not in this weather ahah, way too hot. Currently trying to slick it back, sides and top look okay but the back is hard to manage

[@yuvarajbasu9100]

@@nah.4798 then use a flat brush and hair spray. Or easier is just use the beanie for 30 mins after styling just to flaten the hair out, it will help in ur slick back too and u can avoid the blow drying

[@elmezcalero5770]

Nice looking hair mate! I’m in the process of growing it out myself after cutting because it was getting intimidating. Lol but you definitely gave me some confidence.

[@christianayala4624]

Keep growing it man, looks fantastic

[@harrietted.7488]

I think: short hair + moustache. long hair + current facial hair 🤨 ? you look incredible with long hair ♥️

[@russellekins2799]

My hair is almost at the length of the Robin in this video so I found it really useful - thank you

[@jonathank6656]

Thanks for this tutorial, Robin! I am currently using Jack Black texture cream and Blind Barber sea salt spray. Sometimes I use American Crew matte clay to help keep my sides back.

[@BoltEntertainment]

Lifesaver. Got very similar hair to you right now due to lockdown it's very...different!

[@A_Random_Rat]

Your longer hair is definitely my favorite haircut I’ve ever seen you in! It matches you

[@ManForHimself]

Oh thank you!

[@richlimme]

long hair is double edge sword. It can look really bad or look good. For me, long hair only looks amazing if you take the time to actually style it, part it, and use the right product. So yes, it's a lot of work But it's so worth it. so many ways to style it. Love it.

[@Jayda251]

That hair looks so badass on you! I love longer hair!

[@jerichoryan7482]

I must say that looks majestic. Nice one Robin 👏👏

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks Jericho.

[@davdgola]

I ordered the Evo sea salt spray after watching your routine. After rewatching it now, I just order the spray putty 🤷👍

[@StrappingYoungLadam]

I loved the head flip technique 😂. I actually do that pretty frequently. I like to use my Amity texture spray when my hair is damp, lower my head to let it fall and flip it back. I'll actually sometimes let some hairspray kind rain down on it instead of spraying it directly just for a little hold.

[@ManForHimself]

Haha!Not just me then.

[@zawa.425]

Your hair looks great Robin! I just subscribed to your channel recently. I really like the way you talk on your videos, great advices!! Keep it up!

[@BeardedBack]

Now that my hair is long I have just been using mouse, texture powder, and a bit of hairspray. Looks good, has decent volume, and does not require a lot of expensive product.

[@ManForHimself]

Perfect combo!

[@yuvarajbasu9100]

I used a paste instead of hairspray

[@VelvetyOnion]

I have a shaved head now (pre-quarentine) with no plan to ever grow it back again, but still watch every video you put out :) keep being charasmatic & yourself! and ill keep watching videos on how to take care of my skin, smell great and how to style my hair if I had any haha

[@ronanfitzgerald7524]

man there could be a time where you have no hair and wish you could grow it back! you should really experiment with some new cuts

[@VelvetyOnion]

@@ronanfitzgerald7524 trust me I'm in no position to grow it all back! 27, receeding since I was 16/17 so took the plunge and never looked back :) I dyed my hair and did all sorts so glad I got to do some of this experimenting. I'm lucky that I suit it better shaved and dont have to worry about my whispy hair anymore

[@ManForHimself]

Thanks so much

[@ronanfitzgerald7524]

Robin James she loves you yeah yeah yeah

[@tamasmenyhart8483]

Dude, I think you look WAY better like this than when you had short hair! Finally someone on KZbin with hair haha Try using a straightener in the back area, just pass through once or twice real quick and bam, it'll lay way easier! 💪🏽🙂

[@Unknown7326]

For the past 4 years I’ve had a skin fade on the sides and back and a short crop top on top, shaved my head end of March and have been letting it grow since 😩

[@ManForHimself]

How you getting on?

[@gavinburns9516]

I bet you bottled it growing it out and have gone back to the skin fade 😂

Best of luck!

[@danieljohnson4083]

Do hair products really matter when it comes down to hair length and hairstyle?

[@blayne2029]

Hi Robin. I really like the no part (all back) and pre-styled look.

[@ManForHimself]

Have definitely tried that too, Blayne. It's a good look!

[@Heyitsdes1]

My husband always cuts it when it gets to this “awkward” phase but I’m like nooo watch this 😂

[@PolntBlank]

Amazing video. So this is my first time viewing a video like this and I’ve always took pride in how I style and thought I did a great job. Your method is literally mine and the products are almost all the exact. Subscribed. Perhaps I could learn a thing or two.

[@FraDeeBiscuit]

I've always thought you have the looks and personality of a great oscar-winning actor!! With that being said.. LOOKING GOOD AS ALWAYS ROBIN!!!

[@ManForHimself]

Perhaps a Bond villain?

[@michaeloertel6241]

I was just thinking about wanting to see your routine with longer hair!

[@nutmalone5527]

Do you think clays will still be good for long hair or will i have to completely change my hair products?

[@Ascendment]

What were the measurements of your hair here for the top, sides and the back? Thanks in advance

[@exhannnn]

Hi Robin, if you get the chance to read this, may you please start to do videos about your clothing style. Like where you buy your clothes and how to make certain clothes look good. Thank you!

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Kunduk. I used to create style videos but I focus more on grooming now.

[@zzureee]

Hey Robin! I would love to hear you talk about whether to shave your sideburns or not while growing your hair out, i am really doubtful about that cause i am new to this longer hair styles haha

[@travisbalthasar9544]

After u put the thickening spray on u had a Harry Style look going on 😎

[@hassaanawan9606]

dude this is it. Keep this hair for a long time. You look heavier and in a weird way its a good look

tbh i love the style in the very beginning the most! is it really without any products? looks like lots of volume and like salt spray or something. i like the messy style and id love rocking something like that

Do u treat ur hair with keratin, or is it just naturally straight like this??

You can grow it, for sure.

Love the video Robin! But a quick question, where did you get that shirt??? I really like that style and can't say I've had any luck finding anything like it :)

[@ManForHimself]

Hey, it's from Next but unfortunately not available now.

[@akliporada]

Robin James aww no, thanks for letting me know I'll keep my eyes open 😊

[@jacquesrose9970]

Great video. Been growing out my hair over lockdown as well. Anyone got any tips/answers on what to do with the longer strands of hair which are near the ears which don't quite tuck behind? Do you clip these off with a razor/scissors or try to let them grow so they all eventually sweep back! Even after I've styled it I still find a few come down by the ear and it's annoying.

[@boomshtickx]

Will this hold your hair for a full work day? I work a manual labor job, I don't get to the point of sweating, but I do get warm and that seems to make hair go haywire. If this stuff won't do the trick, is there something that might?

[@itspremology5572]

This suits You... You should keep the long hair without shortening the sides

[@zaimanjum2602]

I just got a buzz cut with 3 on top and 0 on sides i want to have slick back hair hairstyle with long top and long sides do u think it will good I’m planning to get no haircut for next 6 months and let it grow out

[@StrappingYoungLadam]

6 months will have you around 3-5 inches of hair depending on how fast your hair grows. Only way to tell of that will be long enough for the style you want is to do it and find out 😁

[@samsanders7428]

Idk if this sounds weird or not but I can scrape oil gunk stuff out with my fingers and the only way I can get rid of it is if I use very drying shampoo. What do I need to do? Thanks

[@CalebJNelson]

That’s my favorite hairstyle on you that I’ve seen mate, cheers. On another note, do you think that Aveda Texture Tonic makes Aveda Thickening Tonic obsolete?

Honestly i don't really know what to buy lmao, please help

Really helpful to see all these tips for styling my grown out lockdown hair! I know you reviewed Black Label's clay but I keep seeing adverts for their other products everywhere making big promises, do you have any plans to review them? Thanks for all the awesome videos!

Hey, no plans at the moment. But if I see them, I'll go for it.

[@splat668]

Hi robin, Since the barbers are open again, is there a reason you haven’t got a cut again, are you growing it? Is this gonna be your new permanent style, or do you want to go back to shorter hair?

[@ManForHimself]

Hey Bob, I had a cut - start of July. This is my style for time being.

hey Sajanmeet, really sorry about that. I just use the products that I have available. Do you have equivalents?

Unfortunately there is no alternative, products like sea salt sprays aren't even available on e-shopping.

[@peterbecerra224]

Hey Robin, I'm new to the channel. I live in Los Angeles and currently all barbershops are closed. But when they reopen, is there any places out here you recommend? Some of the barbers I've been around are probably not willing nor capable of styling my hair in an undercut quiff. And I really want a haircut that I can truly be satisfied with now that my hair has finally grown out for 4 months since I completely shaved it off from a quarantine style cut lol

[@paulbowler5345]

My hairs bit longer and very thick. Not quite long enough to tie back yet. Difficult to style. Been using a mouse but that sets too much, goes bit crisp. Any suggestions for products to use for more natural look?
