"Can men wear long hair?" Well, I do. Now, I don't. I decided to have a clean haircut today. I can't bear the heat in Manila. I had such a long hair iaiming the trendy look way back in 1970s. When I was a toddler, I had a portrait photo with long hair. I am satisfied with the outcome and it is about to say goobye long hair today. "Do you think men should not wear long hair?"

I agree with you. During the primitive era, they do have long hair.

My middle son has long hair and works for the government and no one cares. So nothing wrong with having long hair when you are a man.

I agree. I had also worked in a government. There is no rule for wearing a particular haircut. A person who is qualified to work in certain jobs count more than appearance.

It depends on the person. I prefer my fiancé to have short hair. I made an appointment for him at the salon this Saturday.

Some male models are looking good with their long hair. I had tried it and do like it. Now, I am back to normal short clean cut.

I do agree with that. I can't handle the heat and the long hair drains my energy. I think it is a good decision ans short hair is better for the summer season.

I seldom see men wear long hair in campus. But to some boys , they have artistic spirit when they wear long hair . In summer, I couldn't bear long hair as it would be very hot.

True that its much better to manage in the summer. We have had a very hot week here and even short hair would wilt away if it was not protected in some way.

as long as it's clean and neat (not all over the place), and i mean both male and female hair. i'm not surprised you can't stand the heat here since you're from baguio. i'm not sure if barber shops charge lower than beauty parlors (salons).

I was walking along the road near my sister 's place. I saw a small salon. Without a second thought, I let the hairdresser cut my hair. You won't believe how much I pay the service. It cost me Php 40. I was surprised that it is cheaper than in Baguio. But it is really hot today.

@hereandthere More or less a hundred. But this is the small scale salon. I think you are right. There are so many salons. The tips would make an extra cash for them.

@Shavkat i think it's because there's so many of them already, side by side like sari-sari stores, so they have to lower their rates to compete for customers. in fact, i saw one that's less than 40, but i wonder if the workers earn enough in tips. how much is a haircut in baguio?

I think it is a personal choice to have long hair or short hair irrespective of your gender. Females can have short hairs and so can men have long hairs. My only concern is grooming it well and maintaining the hygiene of it.
