That this survey was performed by a cosmetics corporation puts it in the same league as the research showing that male pattern baldness has a 2.5% link to heart disease. That study was funded by the Rogaine people.

That's a really weird reason...I have long hair and I get a Japanese straight perm every once in a while, the reason we change our hairstyles it's because it's trendy...either short or long. :rolleyes:

Uh, does that mean guys' hair is a contrarian indicator? Because the tinted, hightlighted, and "control-waxed" do's you see some of the fellas sporting seem to be more Baroque than ever
