Does long hair destroy the soundstage?

I have noticed that people with thick long hair covering the ears (often women) do not hear some of the finer aspects of the sound like soundstage, and therefore dont get as much enjoyment from high end systems.
I have checked this out myself once when we were going to a fancy dress party and I was dressed as a rock star with long wig. I have also asked a couple of women to put their hair behind their ears and tell me if it sounds different or better, but that was not as definitive.
Could this be a factor explaining why most people in here are men?

I remember when I had my ears cleaned and they had to cut all the hairs out.....got back home listened to music and OMG. I had planned on upgrading my radio shack speakers but no need.

Hope that answers everyones questions.

Perhaps it's time to have audiophile ratings for hairstyles. Or better yet, audiophile hair care products.
Full Spectrum Shampoo - $248.00 / 12 oz..
High Frequency Taming Conditioner - $248.00 / 12oz..
Each product could also be sent back to the manufacturer, and upgraded to the "SE" formula for only $124.00 plus shipping.

I heard machina Dynamica will be coming up with a wig for audiophiles shortly. It will be one of their most brilliant innovations! The chicks will love it too!

Could a small scissors be the ultimate tweak?

Do any of you notice
the sound is much worse shortly after a hot shower? I think the eardrums are soggy from the steam and hot water.
