I had a stylish short on the sides, long on top haircut in the 80s and was told:
1) Your hair needs to be a consistent length everywhere on your head
2) Dont ever be the first or the last to have a particular hair style, always be like the others
I laughed at the elder giving me this helpful council.
When I was but a youngster, impressionable to say the least, I wanted to be a rock star and look like one of these guys (imagine my dismay at not being allowed to let my hair grow or take guitar lessons)
I always had my head shaved short, and never got any comments on it aprt from when I wet shaved it for charity. It caused a bit of a stir in the meeting.......
I got there late, and a local elder was giving the public talk. He lost his place in the notes when he saw my head. After the meeting a different elder came up and asked 'whats all this in aid of?', I told it was in aid of 'northeast aid to orphans' in Lithuania and asked if he would like to sponsor me. He just muttered something I didn't catch and wandered of.

"Hair" by George Carlin
I'm aware some stare at my hair.
In fact, to be fair,
Some really despair of my hair.
But I don't care,
Cause they're not aware,
Nor are they devonaire.
In fact, they're just square.
They see hair down to there,
Say, "Beware" and go off on a tear!
I say, "No fair!"
A head that's bare is really nowhere.
So be like a bear, be fair with your hair!
Show it you care.
Wear it to there.
Or to there.
Or to there, if you dare!
My wife bought some hair at a fair, to use as a spare.
Did I care?
Au contraire!
Spare hair is fair!
In fact, hair can be rare.
Fred Astair got no hair,
Nor does a chair,
Nor nor a chocolate eclair,
And where is the hair on a pear?
Nowhere, mon frere!
So now that I've shared this affair of the hair,
I'm going to repair to my lair and use Nair, do you care?
(Beard Poem)
Here's my beard.
Ain't it wierd?
Don't be sceered,
Just a beard.
Year ago, the elders were talking about not to give the privilege to pass the microphone to a young man that had metrosexual eyebrows. At the time. I agreed with them. I was thinking that a real christian brother should not do that. How stupid I was.
