My hero.
LOL Ten years ago I had the KING of the MULLETS. It was all the way down to my a**, with the sides of my headbuzzed short.
Billy Ray Cyrus got nothin' on me!

There was a time when men's hairstyles only came in one form: short. Close-cropped, clean cut and, frankly, a bit dull, short was pretty much it when it came to cutting men's hair.

Braso attributes the new hairstyles to men's fashion trends that favor romantic fabrics like velvet. "Everything in fashion is sort of romantic and soft, almost dandyish," he said. "In a way, hair is sort of following that."
-snip-
But Braso said not to discount fashion as a factor in the move toward longer locks. As a whole, he said, men are edging closer to a hair-consciousness that's always been the rage in Europe. In England, for example, mid-length hair on men has been popular for a long time.
Now, American guys are adopting the trend to suit their sensibilities. That means it's longer and softer -- but still controllable. "American men don't like that real wild look," Braso said. "Their hair is a little more styled, and fixed and finished." It's not just length that's seeping into men's hair fashion. Braso said that sideburns are also fashionable for men, and Tuozzoli said that more young men are coloring their hair.
Tuozzoli said he's seen an increasing number of men opt for highlights or other color. One recent customer even had his hair bleached at the salon.
-snip-
Maybe it's just the fallout from the recent metrosexual trend in men's grooming, but guys do seem to be paying more attention to their hair. Tuozzoli said that men are far more likely to consult a fashion or entertainment magazine for hairstyle ideas than they were in the past.
"Men are more influenced by fashion than they were a decade ago," Tuozzoli said.
Braso agrees. "Men know exactly what they want from their hair these days," he said.

That would suck. That's my nose-pickin' finger.
Whoa! No thank you! It felt like I had shellac in my hair. The smell was terrible, and I got myself upstairs and into the shower REAL quick.

To stay on their heads?
I think you forgot one thing - MONEY. Money is the wellspring from which the other four influences flow.
B.S. Fashion, whether it be hair styles for men or women, or apparel, have been a part of all cultures for ages. Long hair..short hair, it doesn't mean a thing. What's inside you is the real issue. Always has been, always will be...
Oh please NOOOOOOO! This lady likes you guys with shorter, clean looks. We finally got you to dump those older "styles" like the mullet (BUAHAHAHAHHA), the Fabio, and those hideous Tony Little ponytails. The dead hippie look is also dead, although kerry retains his drugged-out dead hippie mind.
Shorter hair looks so much nicer, IMO.
Algore invented manboobage. He sports them too, and wears Tipper's frilly unmentionables as well.
Until then...
Me and my brothers will just have to keep to our usual stylish togs:
