Bollywood men have often tried to make a style statement with their hairstyles and many have donned long hair at some point in their career. We pick top 10 actors who sported this look. But who do you think looked the best amongst these men? Take your pick and vote for your favourite.
And if you too have been inspired by these celebrities and want to grow your mane, you need to keep a few pointers in mind to take care of them. Here are a few:
- Long hair needs more care and maintenance. If you are planning to grow it long, make sure you condition it well after every hair wash to keep it soft. You can even opt for natural, home-made hair packs.
- Since long hair can get in your way, keep a hair band or scrunchie handy which you can use at home or even outside to prevent hair from falling on your face or eyes.
- Avoid applying too much hair gel to your hair as it can make hair look too greasy. Opt for hair serum instead.
- Give your scalp a good oil massage once a week to keep your hair healthy from the root to tip. Dust, pollution, etc can ruin the texture of your hair so it is important to take good care of it regularly.
Bollywood actors with long hair
Shah Rukh Khan
SRK first started with a small ponytail and then in Don 2, the actor grew his hair even longer. It was a pleasant change for his fans to see him in a different avatar as he usually sticks to his tried-and-tested tousled hair look.

Salman Khan
Though Salman had long hair in Veer, he is best remembered for his Tere Naam look. The actor had a prominent middle parting with hair falling on either sides of his face. Though many detested it, it set a trend and many young guys were seen styling their hair Tere Naam inspired fashion.
