Check out some of the biggest male celebrities who look better with long hair. Whether they grow it for a part of they prefer their hair longer in general, these celebs know how to make long hair and even man buns work.
Jared Leto
The Academy Award winner rocked the perfect ombre tresses for a quite a long time, before deciding to cut them off to play Batman’s nemesis The Joker in “Suicide Squad”.
This wasn’t the first time Leto sported longer hair, since one of his first big roles, in “My So Called Life”, also called for a longer grunge hairstyle.
Brad Pitt
Some of Pitt’s most memorable roles featured the actor with really long hair, and the actor rarely keeps it very short in real life. He’s definitely one of the male celebrities who look better with long hair, and he’s sported longer cuts on the red carpet many times. He’s still very hot with short hair, but there’s something about face framing hair that really suits him.
Orlando Bloom
Whether he’s wearing a long blond wig that makes him one of the best looking elves in Middle Earth or he’s keeping his natural hair longer, Orlando Bloom also makes a strong impression with longer tresses. The English actor also knows how to do a mean man bun, and his roles in many Hollywood blockbusters featured longer wigs.
Johnny Depp
Longer hair perfectly fits Johnny Depp’s vibe, and the actor is definitely one of the male celebrities who look better with long hair. Whether he’s wearing a fedora or matching his long hair with a mustache, Depp knows that there’s a lot more to masculinity than just a buzz cut, and he’s always more charming when he’s sporting a longer hairstyle.

Jason Momoa
From “Game of Thrones” and “Stargate Atlantis” to “Conan the Barbarian” and “Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice”, Jason Momoa rarely shows up to work with short hair, and his long tresses perfectly balance his masculinity. The model turned actor knows how well his hair looks longer, so he’s rarely tempted to cut it too short.
Ashton Kutcher
In his modeling days, Ashton Kutcher kept his hair at different lengths, but he soon realized he’s one of the male celebrities who look better with long hair. From “That ‘70s Show” to “Two and a Half Men”, Kutcher simply comes across as hotter when he’s sporting a longer hairdo. Whether it’s shoulder-length or a little shorter, he can definitely pull off the look.
Josh Holloway
The actor’s career didn’t really take off in a big way after “Lost”, but that may have had something to do with the fact that he cut his hair. He’s another model turned actor so he knows the power of a longer cut, but when his hair is short, a couple of hotness points simply go away.
Russell Brand
Maybe it’s because he kept his hair longer for so many years, but Russell Brand simply wouldn’t be himself with a really short cut. As one of the male celebrities who look better with long hair, he’s made it part of his overall style, creating a unique look that doesn’t resonate with everyone, but it definitely works for him.
Taylor Kitsch
After wearing longer hair in “Friday Night Lights” and “John Carter”, Taylor Kitsch definitely got his fans used to the look, so there was a lot of disappointment when he decided to cut it shorter. His new look even got him into trouble with airport security. He told David Letterman how he barely convinced the security staff that he was an actor, when the airport’s computers were down, because they didn’t recognize him without the long hair.
Chris Hemsworth
Whether he’s playing Thor or just being himself on the red carpet, Chris Hemsworth is also one of the male celebrities who look better with long hair. His younger brother Liam pulls off a shorter hair look much better, so Chris should stick to his Norse God hair.
