Does anybody know for sure if long hair is a reason for speeding up baldness?

Hi :-)
No long hair does not speed up baldness. In men baldness has to do with genetics and male hormones. What you can do, with a lot of success, is use a drug called Propecia. I am 42 and have always had a thick head of hair. At age 40 I noticed it started to thin on the top, ever so slightly. Immediately upon noticing this I stated taking Propecia, and that stopped the hair loss, and grew back the small amount I had lost within a years time.
