Hair isn't just a gender code, it has all sorts of social, political, sexual, age, cultural and status codes as well. You can tell a decent amount about how someone wants to present themselves by their hair IMO.

People who work in finance, law, politics, civil service roles etc. generally have fairly conservative hairstyles. They have to have a 'businesslike' appearance. If you look at the men on a trading floor or a investment bank there will be no men with hair past the collar. This might partly be a sort of status symbol, that they can afford to get an expensive haircut every month. They also tend to be clean shaven. People in the military (especially men) tend to have very short hair, I think it is called a 'high and tight' haircut, while women usually can have mid length hair tied in a bun. This obviously is so that their hair is out of the way when they are in combat and to make it easeir to weal helmets, gas masks etc. Atheletes tend to have short hair to keep it out of their eyes, though this depends on the sport. So for a man, simply having long hair pretty much marks you down as not working in quite a decent number of jobs. 

Grey hair is an age signal (thus people dying grey hair to look younger). For people with long hair, simply having it immaculately brushed and/or styled is kind of a mini status signal in that it takes time and effort to do it. In the UK at least, young men having a completely shaved head has connetations with right wing 'skinheads'.

This might be somewhat controversial but I think that there might be certain haircuts that are more common among gay women that straight women. I don't have any evidence for this but certain gay women like Ellen Degeneres or Vanessa Selbst sport rather unusual short / cropped haircuts that just look *different*. It is not like 100% or anything, I think only a minority of lesbians actually have these hairstyles and a few straight women have them as well. But of the women who do have them, I would imagine a way higher % are gay than of women in general. IDK, can any gay women confirm this or am I imagining it?
