Do tomboy need short hair to be tomboy?

[Dawido]

Tomboy girl also can have long hair, right?

[Knee]

No, it’s not allowed. Says so in the US constitution.

[trousers]

Pretty sure the tomboy answer would just be "it's just hair man"

[Pierce Dalton]

That's the stereotype.

But as with everything, it doesn't reflect reality.

A tomboy can have long hair, but it deducts points from the total tomboyishness score 'cause it makes her look more girly. Short hair also doesn't necessarily make a girl a tomboy.

I think the best example of this is Futurama. I don't think anybody would bat an eyelash if you called Leela a tomboy, but Amy Wong's a girly-girl. I don't really know if Spinelli from Recess has long hair or not. It's hard to judge the length of those pigtails.

Considering these examples, is probably easiest if you have your hair done up in such a way that minimizes its volume. I'm not going to say it's necessary though. Tomboyishness is primarily about hobby choices and behavior anyway, with looks being more of a contributing factor.

Tomboys can have whatever hair they want.

[Kamiyama]

Short hair can help the presentation but it's more about personality than anything.

Also muscles.

Wasn't kim possible a tomboy? She had long hair and did cheerleading. And then applejack had a long mane. Helga from hey arnold had long hair.

If you got long hair, but don't wanna look like you do, you can hide it under a hat.

have you ever actually spoken to a tomboy

[Q-T_3.14.exe]

I don't think a hair's length makes a difference on a tomboy.

[Angel]

I was thinking Billie Eilish although it might be "style" based.

Yeah, in my high school art class I sat next to a female body builder and we'd talk a bunch. Her hair never looked that long, but thats because she had it tied up. She also had ADD and took stuff for it so she often took naps.

If stereotypes had no predictive power people wouldn't believe them

No

no

Yes, tomboys can, of course, have long hair. I was a tomboy growing up; I had hair past my butt that I kept up in a ponytail. I wore a lot of sports clothes—black pants with white stripes down the side and Nike and Adidas t-shirts. Nobody questioned my tomboyishness because my hair was long.

Edit: Look at Sporty Spice; she was (and maybe still is) a tomboy, and she has long hair.
