To wonder why all girls have long hair?

Just driving past the secondary school at home time and every single girl had long hair. Different colours, some wavy, some straight, but every last one of them had long hair.
Where are all the short cuts or even mid length.
when I was at school (admittedly many moons ago )there was a huge range from short and spiky to mid length bobs to long.
just a little something I've been musing on for a while and prepared for people to tell me the local school is an aberration of long hair lovers

Kids copy each other, if the popular ones have long hair they will all want it. They all follow the same celebrities so try to imitate the same styles. Hair is one example, that strange fishface pouty selfie pose is another.

I think SM and influencers have a lot sway on this. If you look at programmes like Towie and Love Island all the girls have the same look.

Fashions change.
I remember when I was a teen what was popular changed a lot.
It'll be the same these days only they're luckier what with hair extensions being widely available.
