I'm on my way to that mid back long hair (I'm near that and it took me 2 years and a half) and I've always said that I won't work for someone that won't hire me because of how I look. I can understand that they want a specific image if you're gonna meet some clients or whatever, but for a dev that won't have to ever see that people I find pointless that we can't dress or look the way we want.

gratz on the 2.5 years! It's a journey :D

Also, I agree with you in principle. Sadly though, devs aren't always the ones making the hiring decisions -especially for contract jobs and high-end financial companies. While I disagree with a company having superficial dress codes, and the like, I also will be needing a paycheck soon. I can't afford to be picky about which evil empire I will work for right now.

When I start my own company, or when I've re-established my self in the industry then, I'll likely be a bit more rebellious.

Originally Answered: Why do women generally have long hair?
Long hair is traditionally considered a symbol of good fertility. In the past, long hair was considered a pride for people and both men and women used to sport them. Only some men who indulge in heavy labor and where long hair is a hindrance in the work to be done were the manes shortened. This still happens in some cultures. The tradition of men cutting their hair short started very recently, probably around the end of the Victorian Era in England sometime in the early nineteenth century, from where it found its way across the world.

Speaking from style perspectives, long hair suits women in general because they have relatively small skull sizes. Longer hair helps give the head some balance, in terms of appearance. Also, it makes the head look bigger, and biologically speaking bigger heads are considered an evolutionary advantage.

In comparison, men who have larger heads and shorter hair do not do any harm to their appearance.

But there is no hard rule that women have to have long hair and men shorter hair. It is simply a social practice and everybody has the freedom to choose whatever hair they like. Source.

Men have had long hair for centuries, and only in recent centuries appeared fashionable short haircuts. The main thing is that the image should be harmonious, perfectly matched to the face type. They only suit to those who is used to take care of himself. Hair that grows out randomly will look sloppy. Very сool-looking style is elongated bob. Such haircut looks great on curly hair. With its help, you can create an interesting and extravagant image. There`s also a variant of dreads such an image looks original and at the same time quite daring. But I like viking hairstyles mostly, norwegian braids are great and look original.

Long and healthy hair is always beautiful. Unfortunately, these cannot grow, constantly break down and become thinner. I wish I had hair down to the waist.
