Arun Mandola says he is ready to cut his signature long hair if a substantial role demands it

Arun Mandola’s long hairstyle often gets him compliments. His fans too admire his style. The actor has been flaunting long hair since my school days - Jyothi Venkatesh

He feels it adds a new dimension to his character and as a performer his look stands out.“Long hair has both advantages and disadvantages.

But yes you look older than your age but if long hair suits you then you look totally different amid a thousand people.

I think long hair suits me well, at least that’s what I am told,” says the Sankatmochan Mahabali Hanuman actor.

Giving us a glimpse of his hair care routine he adds, “Long hair is definitely high maintenance.

Apart from regular oiling, shampoo and conditioning twice/thrice a week, you need to follow a proper protein diet and drink lots of water.

Timely hair cut and trimming is also necessary. I don’t rub my hair and don’t use a thick comb.”Arun’s favourite Bollywood actor with long hair is Salman Khan.

“Though he cut his hair short, I admired his long hair. He looked super cool in it. Let’s accept the fact that long hair doesn’t suit everyone and it’s extremely difficult to carry the look,” he says.

So if a role demands will he chop his hair and the actor pauses to think before adding, “Yes, I will.

I am an actor, why will I think twice before experimenting. If I get a strong and interesting role and it requires me to cut my hair then I am game.”
