Since the image of a male metal fan usually includes long hair, I want to know how accurate that image is in the current era. Hopefully the answers cover everything, but to elaborate:

If you used to have long hair, but don't anymore by your own choice (didn't like it, too much effort, etc), use answer 2.
If you would like to have long hair, but are required to keep it short due to a work/school dress code, then take answer 3.
If you're bald, pick the answer that would apply if you still had hair.
If you're female, it's not unusual to have long hair. Don't vote. (I genuinely want to know the answer to this, sorry)

I'm not sure what counts exactly as 'long', so use you're own judgement. Although I'd say hair that reaches your shoulders counts as long.

My hair is long, usually a bit past the shoulder blades and nipples.

Poll

Do you have long hair?

My hair is short (I like it short)

Used to have long hair somewhere around ages 14-19, but I had to cut it in the army and realized it looked a lot better short. It regrew spontaneously to about shoulder-length once, but it's under control again. I generally have it cut twice or three times a year, which means it varies between a few centimeters and an electrified wild animal on my head (the current state).

I'm mulatto, so I've got really thick, curly hair that isn't exactly "white hair," but it's not "black man hair" either. I used to just let it grow out, and I'd pick it out into an afro for the longest time back in the day. I've considered dreading it multiple times, but I can be terribly lazy, so until the day I sum up the patience for that, it's not happening. Nowadays I'm just keeping it trimmed nice and short, makes me look really Hispanic. I've been compared to pro poker player Phil Ivey, and the visual resemblance is honestly a bit frightening

I went short about 15 years ago when I was at Uni and decided I didn't want to look like a feral bogan anymore.

Since then I've started going bald so I'm stuck with short hair whether I like it or not.

Grow a skullet, like Devin Townsend used to have. Or try a glam style wig.

I didn't vote either because my hair is medium

Vote short then, mine is usually medium but "long" in this poll just means like below your shoulders kind of thing.

Actually, I said I'm not sure what counts as long, so use you're own judgement. I just used the shoulders thing in case someone thought shoulder length was short (obviously not gonna happen, looking at the results so far).

Because I thought polls could only go in the arena. And it's connection with music is to see if the fans of the music actually resemble the stereotype of the music's fans, hairdo wise.

negative, look at metalstormers there are some polls, other places as well, metal arena can be only polls about music, bands, etc

I don't what my hair looks like... it's probably Frodo Baggins meets John Snow in the 70s (simply put... bad)... I do manage to get a more or less decent look some days when I'm at work but that requires some hair product and I'm normally lazy so it just grows the way it does, in all directions... Winter is coming which means that I'll most probably let it grow long again (because having a ponytail is easier than having to mess around with short hair if it's unruly like mine is... and I don't feel like going bald either...)
So long it'll grow... unless I decide to have a crew-cut again at some point...

I had long hair for about 7 years, but i cut it at the very start of 2011 for something different. I'd have to say i like both long and short, the problem is my hair is boofy and has no style, so i prefer it short. If i had straight hair, it would be long for sure.

Had long hair ('bout half way my back) for several years, but when I started getting into more "important/serious environments" I cut it off (it had to go sooner or later anyway). That was in 2012. I miss my long hair sometimes, specially at gigs or simply when listening metal even if most people say I look better with short hair (though some chicks were super jealous of my long straight hair saying it looked great hahaha ).
For now, only short hair seems viable.

"Only" hip length. Unless you have dwarfism, that is long in my book. Very long.

Hi, sorry I reply laid bit! Alright my mohawk hair I desire is this



I don't even know what it's mohawk hair style name which I want, I know there are lots of variety.. I must find good pic of mohawk hair then printing it with paper color photo, bring the photo to haircut shop,then show the cutter makes it for me, I like it short mohawk, dunno it's name call, but short and narrowed mohawk.. Anyway I'm not much knowing of hairstyle stuff, if anyone knows what website or stuff related to mohawk resources feel free to recommend me.. Cuz I need printing the mohawk photo to bring it with..

By the way, I encourage guys having mohawk hair, I think only bald hair skin head, or mohawk hair is manly lol, but yeah imo,..the punk mohawk is nice too but it's long and nam is not a place where I can have it.. mrT is cool style, but I would have the mohawk shorter, cuz in nam if I have mrT mohawk, cops will keep more eyes on me.. But mrT mohawk looks tough, haha..
