As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Not only can men have long hair but this was the sunnah of the prophet(saw):

It was narrated that Qutaadah said: I asked Anas ibn Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) about the hair of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). He said, The hair of the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was neither curly nor straight, and came down to a point between his ears and his shoulders. [Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5565; Muslim, 2337 ]

According to another report, his hair used to touch his shoulders. [Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 5563; Muslim, 2338 ]

It was narrated that Umm Haani� said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) came from Makkah with four braids. [Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1781; Abu Dawood, 4191; Ibn Maajah, 3631. Classed as saheeh by al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar in Fath al-Baari, 10/360. ]

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
