So was I. I had long hair when long hair on men was a political statement, not a fashion matter. Women I encountered back when said "I love your hair! What do you do to it?" "Nothing. I wash it regularly, brush it daily, and carefully avoid dyes and permanents." (My hair has always been thick, wavy, and fast growing. I am not going to go bald.)
When I finally got the hair cut, for Real Life reasons, I saved about a foot of it in a pony tail, tying off one end with a rubber band. I would appear at social events, and various women I knew said "Dennis! You cut your hair! Now I can't play with it!" I pulled the saved pony tail out of my pocket and said "Sure you can! I don't even have to be here while you do!"
The biggest annoyance for me during lockdown was not being able to get my hair cut. When my barber reopened, I walked in annd said "Crag out the hedge clippers and prune it back.," The saving grace was not having to go anywhere where my unshorn state would be an issue.
