Interesting study about the perception of long hair on guys. It shows that people seem to like it if it's kept nice and clean.

Cool article, thanks :)
Keep in mind that research was done in 1997, at a time when long hair in society was at a minimum. In 1997 it was rare to see longhaired men in advertisements or in movie or TV show roles. Now we are often seen in such. Today we are likely to be more highly regarded than that research suggests.
I remember coming across this site ages ago, when I was in the awkward state.
