It's nothing new to see women with long hair, but most men seem to prefer to keep their tresses a bit more tamed. You can't really blame them — long hair requires a lot more maintenance, and during the hot summer months, it can make you sweat even more than you normally would. However, there are some men out there who actually prefer to sport a longer style… and they look darn good doing it.
Just like these men who have no idea how to braid their girlfriends' hair, I know most of the guys in my life wouldn't even know what to do if their hair grew past the nape of their necks. Thankfully, though, plenty of men who do let their locks grow out have managed to tame their manes. It's such a shame that this little boy was bullied for growing his hair long (especially because he was doing it for an amazing cause) — long hair can actually look really, really good on a guy. I think it's time we remove the stereotype that says that long hair is a "feminine" trait, don't you?
If you need any more convincing that more dudes need to grow out their hair, check out these male celebrities who rocked the style. Number 8 is my favorite. Which one is yours? Let us know in the comments, and keep your fingers crossed that this becomes a more prominent trend among the guys in our lives!

1. Jared Leto
The actor and lead singer for 30 Seconds To Mars sported some seriously long locks for a good bit of time, but has since cut them off. He's set to play the Joker in the upcoming Suicide Squad film.
2. Christian Bale
The star of the latest Batman trilogy went through a pretty hairy phase. You'll hear his voice when he plays Bagheera in the 2017 prequel, Jungle Book: Origins.
3. Keanu Reeves
This star is known for his kind and generous nature… and also the fact that he doesn't look a day older than when he acted in The Matrix.
4. Brad Pitt
The accomplished actor and husband to Angelina Jolie can definitely add "looks amazing with long hair" to his resume.
5. Colin Farrell
This True Detective actor looked surprisingly handsome when he decided to grow out his tresses.
6. Orlando Bloom
It may not be as long as Legolas', but Orlando Bloom still managed to grow a pretty serious mane. You'll be able to see him reprise his role as Will Turner when Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales hits theaters in 2017.
7. Ashton Kutcher
For a brief, shining moment, Ashton Kutcher let his hair grow down to his shoulders. Nowadays, he's seen showing off a much shorter 'do as he spends time with his wife, Mila Kunis, and their daughter.
8. Eddie Vedder
You probably know Eddie as the lead singer of the band Pearl Jam, but you should also know him for his gloriously long and curly locks.
9. Jason Momoa
Game of Thrones fans will recognize this actor as the man who played Khal Drogo. He has also been a vocal activist against the construction of the Thirty Meter Telescope set to be constructed atop one of the peaks of Mauna Kea: a volcano that is considered sacred in the Hawaiian religion.
10. Adrian Grenier
Between those thick eyebrows, those blue eyes, and all those curls, is it any wonder so many people fall head over heels every time they see this Entourage star?
11. Tom Brady
Tom Brady has won four Super Bowls (and been the MVP for three of them), but he also scored when he decided to let his hair grow super long.
12. Johnny Depp

13. Hugh Jackman
I'm pretty sure Hugh Jackman would look good no matter what he did to his hair, but this style from his pre-Wolverine days is simply to die for.
14. Kit Harrington
This Game of Thrones heartthrob grew his hair out specifically to play the role of Jon Snow… and die-hard fans have been watching it closely because it could reveal the character's fate in the show.
15. Keith Urban
This Australian country star has had his gorgeous golden hair since he first became popular. There's no doubt that his wife, Nicole Kidman, runs her fingers through it every chance she gets!
