The traditional Roman Catholic clergy has always had a clean cut (short hair no beard).

What are your thoughts on long hair / beard on the layman?

The smartest, most kind and beautiful traditional Catholic men I know have long hair and a beard.

I don't care for long hair or facial hair. I like short hair, smoothly clean-shaven, well-groomed. The Dr. House two-day grizzled look is just gross. A flat-top crew or military cut is ideal, or, if elderly, a little longer, but it must be very neat. No man should attempt to cover his mostly bald head with four strands of long hair that are shellacked in place. This is just laughable. Of course, I state my personal preference. In many parts of the world, a priest isn't a priest without a full beard and lots of hair. Still, it has to be neat and clean unless he is a hermit or a missionary to primitive peoples of some sort and he lives outdoors.

Wanna have some fun? Ask a prottie whether Our Lord had long hair. When they say that He did, ask them how they know, considering that Scripture makes no mention of Him having long hair. What they're unwittingly doing is relying on tradition (the painting Head of Christ, for example).
