Long meets short? I kinda like it.
Not really. I like all one length.

Looks like too much trouble to me -- lots of maintenance required.
I think it's cool. I've see styles like this all the time on campus. It really looks good when there is about 1/4 inch fuzz for the shot part.
It's awful. Gruesome.

Hmmm.... Long AND short? That would seem to imply that this lad likes it both ways and I can relate to that! ;P
(Sorry, I just _had_ to put that one in there!)
Practicaly speaking though, it would combine the advantages of have a nice long tail of hair with the cooling effect of a bare scalp. I like the "handle" effect such a tail provides. It can be "useful." ;P
Visually, I am mixed. It certainly is striking and that may be the whole point. However, if the hair is that long, then I prefer a full mane of it and not just a mere tail.

My site. Warning! Bi/ Gay content! Nothing X rated, just that I like men too!
I'm inclined to say it would combine the disadvantages of long and short hair... constant maintenance for the shaved part, plus you have to worry about split ends, drying, etc, for the long part. And I'm guessing it would probably be even less societally acceptable than a 'regular' long hairstyle.
I used to see this look a lot on campus, about three or four years ago (yeah, I know, time to graduate). Virtually all of them have disappeared, usually turned into fully shaved heads.

Here in Belgium you see it more often : it wat we call
a "gabberlook". Gabbers are guys who listen to hardcore house
music and love to fight and piss other people off !
