Wear your hair in a pony tail, and tuck it down inside the back of your shirt. Be sure to hide the bulge with a suit or sports coat, or else the the fact that you have long hair will be even more evident.
By hiding the pony tail, I've noticed potential employers have been more appreciative of the effort to comform with any strict dress codes they may have. If they inform you that just hiding the tail if you're hired won't be good enough for the job, then you have a decision to make.
I wore my tail inside my shirt when I interviewed for my current job, and when I asked them what their dress code was like (NEVER EVER EVER ask them if they allow long hair on men. Ask them simply what the policy is on their dress code), the interviewer told me that, since the job I was applying for was taking phone calls from customers all day, their code was casual business and that long hair is allowed on men as long as it's kept neat and clean. They hired me two weeks later, and I celebrated my 1 year anniversary last February.
Hope this helps for all of you job seekers.
Hey guys:
Gotta tell you what happened to me today.I went for a customer service job and was wondering if this place was going to be unacceptable about long hair.When I met Mike,the man who is to be my boss,I was pleasently surprised.He had a moustache and gotee and most importantly,HE HAD A THICK PONYTAIL!!!! It reached down to the middle of his back.I thought,after the interview,"God,I hope I get this job,I think I'll like working here".Sometimes we longhairs DO get lucky.

It's always a good sign when a potential male employer has hair that's as long as, or longer than your's. Good luck to ya! :)
