How to rock longer hair as a dude? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

I'd like to grow my hair out more when the T starts to kick in. I've had my hair cut as short as can be without looking like a buzz cut. I generally pass well with this haircut.

Problem is, I'm not passionate about the cut. It's fine I guess but I don't feel attractive or self expressive with it. Definitely would rather pass than have a haircut I love, but there'll come a time where I can experiment more without risking my passing. I've got nice, wavy hair and it seems like it's going to waste being so short.

Any of you fellas have suggestions for long-ish haircuts/styles that are still very masculine? I've always been captivated by 60/70s men's fashion, hair included, but I'm open to other things too.

I like the feathered kinda look from the 80's personally, which goes with my somewhat wavey hair (at least when it's long; short it's actually kinda curly) since it naturally feathers out without much effort.

Really don't do much. I just don't cut it (it's been over a decade since I even went to a barber). Keep it clean, conditioned and I can just brush and comb out any tangles and help the feathering out and look like I belong in A Flock of Seagulls.

I tried to look up what you're describing, but couldn't get any kind of consistent result. Have you got some kind of picture or famous person with the style you're talking about? Thanks.

Like... Uncle Jesse from Full House or Mel Gibson in the first couple of Lethal Weapon movies.

I like that look. It's like a feathery mullet with sideburns.

Also Kurt Russell in escape from New York is a classic cut
