Is it acceptable for businesswomen to have long hair? What do you guys think?

(see text at bottom for alt-tag description if this isn't convenient) screenshot of poll from 2009 asking: Is it acceptable for businesswomen to have long hair? - (47%) Sure! Why not. Hair! Hair, long beautiful ha-air! - (40%) Only if it's well-groomed and no longer than mid-back. (Not Crystal Gayle.) - (10%) Mid-back?!? Shoulder length unless you're planning on wearing it up, missy. - (7%) Honestly! If it's long enough to tie back or pull into a French twist, that's what you ought to do.

And, now, just because we've got it running through our head, we thought we'd share some lyrics from Hair with you:

I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratsy, matsy
Oily, greasy, fleecy, shining
Gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen
Knotted polka-dotted, twisted beaded braided
Powdered, flowered and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled and spaghettied!
