History Main / LongHairedPrettyboy

%%* ''Anime/NightWalker'': Cain and Shido.

* And the genre that displaced Hair Metal, {{Grunge}}, although created as an antithesis of the aforementioned genre, offered two great, albiet [[UnkemptBeauty unkempt]], examples in [[Music/{{Nirvana}} Kurt Cobain]] and [[Music/PearlJam Eddie Vedder]] ([[Music/{{Soundgarden}} Chris Cornell]] is an arguable case, given he didn't look boyish).
* All three Music/{{Hanson}} brothers during the height of their fame in the late 1990s - particularly Taylor, who was often mistaken for female (his gender-ambiguous name didn't help).

* 'Webcomic/AngelDown': Bernard was a [CampGay CampBi] when he was young, and wore his hair in a long curly mop.

%%* ''Webcomic/{{Annyseed}}'' The sinister Mr Coldsteem.

* ''All the males'' in ''Webcomic/SwordPrincessAmaltea'' have hair that go beyond thier shoulders. This been because the story's world is a {{Matriarchy}} and men have female roles, including being pretty. This makes Prince Ossian BoyishShortHair more significant and shocking.

* ''Film/XMenApocalypse'': Charles Xavier combines his prettiness from ''Film/XMenFirstClass'' with his long, wavy hair from ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast,'' but he now styles them into a feathered mullet. He is vain and revels in being beautiful. ''Apocalypse'' also plays up Xavier's nurturing qualities, so his long hair denotes his androgynous mindset and being InTouchWithHisFeminineSide.

* ''Manga/Classi9'' has two of them: There is Beethoven, who's long [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair violet hair]] and delicate features had him [[DudeLooksLikeALady mistaken for a girl]] InUniverse. There's also Liszt, who despite thinking he isn't that good looking, has numerous fangirls for his looks and musical talent. As for the long-haired part, his hair goes below his knees.

* Akoya of ''Anime/CuteHighEarthDefenseClubLove'' whose long [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair pink hair]] is his defining physical trait.

*** [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind Diavolo]] is [[ArtEvolution much slimmer]] than most of his predecessors, and has long [[YouGottahaveBlueHair magenta]] hair.

** Youzen have the appearance of a elegant young man with long [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair blue hair]], and his good looks occasionally get noticed.

** Jae-ha never misses an opportunity to bestow his beauty on anyone [[AmbiguouslyBi male or female]]. Since he is also TheCharmer and a ChickMagnet, most of his targets really don't mind (except Hak). Jae-ha is also the only one of the CastFullOfPrettyBoys who seems to know just how pretty he is and will try to use it to get what he wants (with varying success, his companions are completely immune). His waist-length [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair green hair]] is tied beautifully back with a long yellow ribbon.

** Continuing with ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'': [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair Ryo]], [[HotForTeacher Daitokuji-sensei]], Fubuki. In-Universe, the girls go crazy for them, [[TheCasanova especially the latter]].

** Aqualad has long, black hair that runs down to his shoulders, a lean muscular physique and is consider very handsome as both Raven and Starfire get a crush him the first time they see him.

* All three Music/{{Hanson}} brothers during the height of their fame in the late 1990s - particularly Taylor, who was often mistaken for female by non-fans (his gender-ambiguous name didn't help). As of 2020, only drummer Zac has kept his long hair.

* William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody walked a fine line between this trope and [[BarbarianLonghair]]. He earned the nickname "Pahaska" (meaning "long hair") from his Native American friends who were otherwise unaccustomed to seeing a white man with such hair.

* William Frederick "Buffalo Bill" Cody wore his hair past his shoulders, earning him the nickname "Pahaska", meaning "long hair", from his Native American friends.

* Though his hair was nowhere near long by today's standards, famed orchestra conductor Leopold Stokowski was seen as this by many in the [[RoaringTwenties early parts of the 20th Century]].

* Cu Chulainn of Myth/CelticMythology is described in the ''Literature/TheCattleRaidOfCooley'' as as a beautiful young man with long, [[MulticoloredHair multi-hued]] hair that fell past his shoulders.

** Boromir, whom ''Legolas'' describes as "the Fair" (in his verse of the Lament for Boromir). Given that this is coming from an elf, and an elf prince at that, this is a pretty high complement. His long hair is described as dark. As he's pretty young, if he has any facial hair at all it's probably not much. Ditto Faramir.

** Boromir, whom ''Legolas'' describes as "the Fair" (in his verse of the Lament for Boromir). Given that this is coming from an elf, and an elf prince at that, this is a pretty high complement. His long hair is specifically described, spread out on the ground and darkened with his blood. Though whether he is dark-haired like Aragorn or blond is not mentioned. We do know his mother was blond though. As he's pretty young, if he has any facial hair at all it's probably not much. Ditto Faramir.

%%* ''Manga/FairyTail'': Freed Justine. He even has a BeautyMark.

** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has Seymour Guado, a dark [[spoiler:and pretty obviously villainous]] pursuer of main heroine Yuna, whose WalkingShirtlessScene outfit definitely establishes him as an intended {{Fanservice}} character. However, the vein-like markings across his body look strange enough that some fans find him too creepy-looking to be pretty.

* The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in a significant comeback of younger men growing their hair out, due in large part to hair salon closures and remote work, coupled with the continued online availability of hair care products. Forums dedicated to men growing out their hair, such as the subreddit FierceFlow, saw a huge traffic increase in 2020-21.

%%* ''LightNovel/SaiunkokuMonogatari'': ''Half the cast'', starting with Shi Ryuuki and Shi Seiran, and also especially including Ko Kijin and Sa Sakujun.

** Ky Kiske gains this look in Guilty Gear 2: Overture and onward. He ties it on a ponytail in the newest game though.

%%** ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyX'' has Seymour Guado (although how pretty he is may be subject to debate).

* And the genre that displaced Hair Metal, {{Grunge}}, although created as an antithesis of the aforementioned genre, offered two, albiet [[UnkemptBeauty unkempt]], great examples in [[Music/{{Nirvana}} Kurt Cobain]] and [[Music/PearlJam Eddie Vedder]] ([[Music/{{Soundgarden}} Chris Cornell]] is an arguable case, given he didn't look boyish).

* And the genre who derailed Hair Metal, {{Grunge}}, offered two great examples in [[Music/{{Nirvana}} Kurt Cobain]] and [[Music/PearlJam Eddie Vedder]] ([[Music/{{Soundgarden}} Chris Cornell]] is an arguable case, given he didn't look boyish).

** Christopher "Chris" Arclight—V—from ''Anime/YuGiOhZEXAL'' is definitely this. Women would be jealous with how long his hair is. He also happens to be quite handsome.

%%* ''Super VideoGame/PunchOut'': Kabuki dancing boxer Heike Kagero (long ''purple'' hair, even).
