How many of us are there?

I am trying to find some empirical statistics on how many of us longhaired men (in addition to bearded, sideburned, etc.) are out there. I've tried searching the U.S. Census' site, but it was a bust. Does anyone know where I can find such information?

I wish I could help you. Perhaps you can start a web poll.?
Is there anyone out there that knows how this can be done efficently and with accuracy.?
Mike suggested a poll...

I saw that Mike suggested a poll. So, I just added one to my new site, www.BobCut.com. It is not very "scientific" but it may shed some light on the issue.
There are actually two active polls - one asking hair length and one asking hair length for "male" visitors only (please). They come up in random order as the page loads, so you may have to reload or refresh a couple of times for the right one.
Let me know if the categories are ok - they are easy to adjust. I started it out with my vote - length just on my shoulders.
Keep on growin'

============
No idea.
But you might try sitting in a shopping mall or the side of a busy street with a clicker in each hand, clicking once in the left for long hair and once in the right for short. Take the resulting percentage, and extrapolate to the population in your area.
On the other hand, there might be some info already lurking in some gov't or marketer's database, maybe in a Supercuts computer or something . . . gonna have to dig for it, though . . .
