Well let's see, I still have my pony tail from when I cut it off some years ago, and its about 15inches, so thats about 38cm I believe. I shoulda donated it to Locks of Love...

As for why prog guys have long hair...uhm....cause they can? *shrug*

I like it short.


Or maybe it's because I tried growing my hair out and it really didn't work out.... 



Same here. Every few years I get it in my head to grow my hair long, and every time I get past about 3 inches I can't stand how frizzy/poofy/curly it gets and I go back to my regular short-cut. Plus now my hairline is receding faster than the arctic glaciers, so I don't want to look like Steve Howe.

 

 That puts it all in perspective.

I'm 6'0 and about 132.

I can't figure out why because I love to eat.

My hair is at mid back length right now.



What about scarfs in prog, the only one i've really seen is this one with Fripp in it.

6'4" and about 152. Seems to be a common problem among proggers.

My hair is kinda inbetween short and long ... I'd guess 10 cm.

I think some of the members of Pink Floyd wore scarves back in the Syd Barrett-era.

I haven't measured my hair in a while, but it comes down four or five inches below my shoulders. Most of my friends think I should get it cut, and I always tell them I like it long. One time I was wearing my Abbey Road shirt and one of my friends commented ''I think you're just copying those guys on your shirt'' ''You mean The Beatles?'' ''Uh, yeah, them"

Here you are. A nice example for a scarf (and for those long-haired hippie communities my older brother was always warned of when he was in his teens lol).
