I haven't used a comb in I don't know how many years. I just take out the clippers once a week and buzz my head. Some women do this. It looks just fine.
I think it is true that women generally have better hygiene. I'm not sure why that's good -- once you're clean enough, you're clean enough. Primping is a waste of time. Some of the guys at the health club I used to belong to would spend forever taking a shower, getting their hair fixed, etc. Their jobs aren't any better than everyone elses' and people don't seem to like them any better.
It is just what society expects. Just as you wouldn't wear a skirt to work. I wouldn't wear a suit and tie even though that would be a lot more comfortable than what I am expected to wear. I don't watch beauty pagents and in general am not girlie. But, I look much, much, much better when my hair is cared for than when I just throw it up in a pony tail. I guess I could look like this,
but when I could look more like this....I do.
