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?

Whaddabout Sideburns?

Think about it. They're right there in front of the ears. I've often suspected that they had a lot to do with the changes from early Elvis to late Elvis music.

I have left the building.

Think of sideburns as filters! Only you can decide if you need them or not.

Well, at least now I know how to respond when people ask me why I wear my hair short! All in the service of the music muse.
I've read for years about removing one's glasses when listening and I swear it makes a difference...and please, no glass coffee tables.
And Elizabeth, regarding the bra, well depends on the cup size now doesn't it?
