Some very valid points. All of which I was planning to cover, but it looks like you beat me to it.
I believe such regulations came to play during WWI - the outbreak of the Spanish Flu, sickness - and overall poor health just made it difficult, but the biggest one is probably due to WWI itself, which sort of regulated that sort of short buzz cut. Sadly, most people believe anything different is 'bad', and thus the attitude towards men with long hair has, sadly, remained the same. Even as a girl who likes long hair on guys, I still get quite a bit of flack for it. And it can all be traced back to the attitudes they had towards it back during WWI-1950s'.
