If you weren’t there you can thank Alan for capturing the powerful and emotional moments beautifully portrayed in episode 9 of our docuseries on The Great Cut, Record-Breaking Success.

Art Informs All
From “special” classes in high school all the way to the top of Foot Locker, art has been the common thread through the ever-evolving career of Gary Harper. A performer, sign painter and death-defying fine artist, he can't seem to shake the hold art has on his life.
This lifelong enthrallment has taken him from a dyslexic sibling of seven in a chaotic household, to sitting across from the president of Nike—and telling him to shove it. But that was only the beginning of an illustrious career as an advertising executive.
Death Can Wait
His exploits in the boardroom might have never happened though. In an accident in his youth, Gary drowned and was actually deceased for a period…only to return from “the other side.”
In his recollection it was “the best;” and he tried to bring that energy back with him, that he might communicate the feeling through his art. We’ll let him tell the rest of that story on episode 130 of Let It Ride.
What you'll hear about:
-Performing theater…in the nude
-Living in a commune
-Climbing the ranks at Foot Locker
-Drowning…and coming back
-Sticking it to Nike
-Conquering fear, uncertainty and doubt

Last Locs
The last time we saw San Diego recording artist Teddy Benson in 2021, he had a full set of mighty, thickset locs tumbling unrestrainedly about his head and shoulders.
In a dramatic change in semblance, he arrived at the warehouse for his 2023 appearance on The Longhairs podcast high and tight, with a single, solitary remaining dreadlock issuing from the base of his neckline.
This begged the inevitable first question in our interview with Teddy Benson: why’d you cut off your locs? And why did you keep just one?
Acknowledging that hair is precious, imparting its organic nature in that it both receives and emits power and essence, Teddy reveals that in the end, much like his music, it’s about the energy.

There’s not many things in life that stay consistently the same, that never vary under any circumstances. Lifting weights is one of those things. No matter how you dice it, 200 lbs is always 200 lbs and you can count on that to never change.
Just like how you have to earn your long hair, every tiny bit of progress in the gym is earned. No one can give it to you, you can’t fake it, you have to earn it day by day lift by lift because the weight never lies.
This week we introduce you to Jesse Marvin who has earned his way into the record books. Not just for his luscious flow but for his ability to lift massive amounts of weight. Jesse aka “Professor Marv” is a professional power lifter, personal trainer and certified long hair. He also happens to be one of the strongest guys in the world under 198 lbs.
From his humble beginnings in New Mexico, Sergio Gutierrez had an unlikely journey to long hair. One that was probably much different than most of us, it all started with a bet between he and his mom. You’ll have to listen in to hear the full story but it’s safe to say he won, thank goodness!
Not only is he a veteran curly hair master, he is also a professional musician, artist and fitness freak. He is living life by his terms and getting paid to do it.
Long Hair, Spirituality and Being Hella Weird In a Podcast With JP Sears
You know. The long haired ginger guy who does the videos, often with a flower in his headband, perfectly straight fire-red hair cascading from all sides.
JP tells us all about this journey, which has led him to publishing his first book, “How to Be Ultra Spiritual, 12.5 Steps to Spiritual Superiority” earlier this year, which he ripped off in only 2.5 months. We dive into JP’s creative process, where he attributes his success to an “obsessive commitment to consistency at a sustainable rate,” and how “a degree of discipline is paradoxically the key to freedom.”
It’s been a little while since we’ve seen old Gustavo around these parts. The last time we checked in he shared a few of his awkward stage hair tips with us. Now he’s deep in his long hair journey and we wanted an update.
El Gustavo cruised up to the South Bay Longhairs HQ from Tijuana to sit down with EL Moreno over a couple beers and talked shop.
What You’ll Hear: Gus’s new job and how he handled the interview What it means to be a longhair dad and living in the moment His take on some of the new and upcoming products The future of self tying hair ties
Joe Knowles is a burly Canadian outdoorsman with the right mix of long hair, beard and style. He also happens to be the 2-time best dressed man on reddit and let me tell you, this guy has swag!
Professionally Joe is freelance content creator and photographer. He has built a solid client base for himself and is currently working on a couple top secret Longhairs projects that will be getting released over the next few weeks. More on that later.
Most interestingly he is a expert thrifter, meaning he does all his clothes shopping at thrift stores and puts together super clean outfits for right around $40 a week. If you want to step-up your wardrobe this is the episode for you.
If you don’t recognize the name Lane Pittman, it’s time to familiarize yourself. He’s the longhaired ginger who’s made such national headlines as:
Jacksonville Man Shreds National Anthem so Hard, Cops are Forced to Arrest Him,
Guitar Hero: Charges Dropped Against Man Who Blasted ‘Star Spangled Banner’ on July 4,
and,
Meet the Shirtless Headbanger Who Rocked Out to Slayer During Hurricane Matthew
You will likely recall his viral internet sensation (which about 100 people sent to us and we re-shared on Facebook) where he defiantly hairwhips in the face of Hurricane Matthew, shirtless, blasting Slayer with the American Flag in hand in the driving rain.
Talking Long Hair, Awkward Stage, Future Products and More
In the early days of 2017, El Rubio completed a snow-filled, 17-day, 1,700 mile journey through California, circumnavigating the Sierra Nevada mountain range and distributing Longhairs referral cards throughout the Golden State.
Join him for the final stretch on a ride down the US 395, answering questions from the blog, talking long hair, awkward stage, future products from The Longhairs and more.
In Episode 12 we rap with Eric Raether, better known in longhair circles as “El Extrano,” a Senior Web Experience Manager for Illumina, which develops, manufactures and markets genetic sequencing systems for the analysis of genetic variation and biological function with the goal of transforming human health.
His real job though, is West End Wieners, a hot dog cart he’s been operating in Pacific Beach for over a decade, and home of the world famous Pavlov Dog. Eric moves more wieners on a Friday night than you handle in a week.
Bearing a striking resemblance to one of the famous longhairs of all time, El Extrano has come to be known by his customers as Hot Dog Jesus.
You’ll hear about these and various other occupations, along with these fascinating discussion topics: Genetic sequencing technology Websites and online marketing strategy The average volume of dogs you can slang on a Friday night Playing bass with Franky T and The Triple B Walking into a job interview with your hair down Preliminary plans for the largest gathering of longhaired men in the history of mankind
So sit back, crack a beverage and join us at The Longhairs Global Headquarters, because no one wants a boiled wiener.

At the time of this post, your boys El Moreno and El Rubio are en route to a classified, strategic, tactical drop zone strike mission to the Lone Star State, and it’s capital city of Austin.
First, hats off to all you longhairs in Texas who have been tuning in, making it the #2 longhair state in the union in terms of website visitors and Hair Ties For Guys shipments. We see ya boys!
During our 1301 mile drive from San Diego we took some time for this week’s post, where we bring you into the Subaru, talking ‘cross country driving, the great state of Texas, and taking long hair questions from our Instagram and YouTube channels.
As the lead designer of Hair Ties For Guys we had to learn more about how he has pushed through this far. Listen in as we rap about his journey through the awkward stage and what's to come in the near future for Hair Ties For Guys.
You’ve heard of Super Mario Brothers. You’ve heard of Gilligan’s Island. You probably haven’t heard their theme songs played with intense heavy metal drumming.
Until now.
That’s how professional drummer Joey Muha has carved out a brand for himself: playing every familiar theme song, tune and jingle imaginable with metal drumming. Heavy metal drumming.
In this episode of The Longhairs Professional Series we rap with Dave Littlechild, a successful business professional from the United Kingdom who’s lived around the world building businesses, jumping out of planes and making shit happen.
Listen in at The Longhairs global headquarters as we rap with Mike Lynch, co-owner of Creative Priority and the product development team that brought you Hair Ties For Guys.
Danny Ramirez is a San Diego local who works right across the street from our headquarters. As you can tell from the picture he has extremely curly hair. 13 inches to be exact, and that hair goes in all directions except for down. For him the only solution to the madness is dreads.
So as he embarks on his journey we will be there by his side every step of the way. The goal of this series will be to document the process through various forms of media and showcase what it really takes to get a full head of proper dreadlocks.
Listen in as we sit down with Danny to get a better understanding of what’s to come over the next six months.
For this installment we had a chat with Chris Morgan, longhaired co-owner of Hairy & Merry Pet Spa and Dog Wash, an independently-owned small business sharing a building with us in Little Italy.
We talked shop over a few cold ones at The Longhairs Global Headquarters, everything from blow dryers and hair balls to long hair in the corporate environment.
Sit back, let your hair down and listen in.
With limited vocational options, one of those is building your own business, where people can’t tell you how long your hair can be.
We are super-stoked to interview David James Kennedy, owner of James Coffee Co., located in the downtown San Diego neighborhood of Little Italy.
In a wide-open warehouse with more space than you’d think for a coffee shop, since April 2014 DK and his posse have been serving up hot and cold coffee to Longhairs and other Little Italians.
We came to learn David is the owner and, perhaps not-so coincidentally, also a man with long hair. He has some interesting thoughts and insights on long hair, and we wanted to hear more. Here’s how it went down.
