That's the first time I've heard that from anyone ever. My pessimism cannot handle positive attention ;_;
I keep mine in a brushed ponytail when I go out, usually. It's not really shaggy, just thick.

Hair length is checked pretty often and if yours is too long, not only you will get a mark on your record, your whole class/homeroom would get punished. We also get beat with a stick by the teacher if we get bad marks on a test. It's kind of a cultural thing I suppose.
If it was in the US the teacher would get sued and fired for sure.
That sounds absolutely terrible...
It's one thing for a parent to discipline their child, I got my share of the belt, but anyone outside of IMMEDIATE immediate family doing more than a slap on the wrist? It happened a few times that I heard of while I was in school, and all but one of those teachers were fired AND lost their licenses to teach. And the one that wasn't, a family member of the kid took it upon themselves and punished them personally, it was some red-headed peach when I was in third grade; a parent stormed into the building and knocked her out clean, it was the funniest thing I had ever seen up to that point in my life, it happened right in the hallway outside of my classroom while she was trying to get away from the parent. Though, later it turned out she cursed in class periodically and had come to class drunk a few times, so she got fired as well as an ass beating, I suppose.
