I remember there was a period in highschool where I actually gave a stuff about what my hair looked like because I had to wear a uniform and I wasn't allowed to wear a hat.
So I shaved it. Well I mean at one point I had some stuffty manbun hipster type stuff but I just kinda felt like a cigarette so I shaved it after about 3 days. Realistically if you've got hair at that length you should brush it or comb it or whatever, it's not gonna damage your masculinity, and it'll improve your outlook of yourself. or shave it
