Hello, all. I am a high school senior, and I've always been really interested in growing my hair out long...probably to about shoulderblade length. I haven't been able to do it yet because my school doesn't allow long hair, but I'll be graduating in five months, so I can start growing now! But I'm really not sure if I want to go through with it.

My question, mainly to the ladies, is this: what is your general opinion of long hair on guys? Do you think it looks nice, or do you think it's ugly? Is there any special style on guys that you prefer (i.e. ponytail, braided, loose, etc.)? Do you recommend highlights or anything of the sort?

Also, from the women, what would you recommend as the best way to keep that hair healthy? I've heard that a mild shampoo combined with a good conditioner tends to do the trick.

Thanks a lot!
