I know that In basic training you get your head shaved but after basic do you still have to have it a certain length and stuff?

I wouldn't worry about it. After I finished basic training and AIT, I let my hair grow out. You can manipulate the army hair grooming regulations to your liking. For example its not a army regulation to keep a high & tight as is the typical hair style. As long as your hair is not touching your ears and collar, and its of neat appearance your fine. Facial hair is a different story all in itself and has very little leeway. *However its important to note that depending on your MOS, you might be held to a higher standard as far as your hair style.*
I was a combat medic/pharmacy tech in Medcom (worked mostly in medical centers and a few small clinics throughout europe) so my hair style options were much more diverse.

When you first start basic training, you'll feel goofy about it for a few days, but after a while you'll come to realize that it's civilians in the outside world who have the goofy hairdos, and that you look perfectly normal.

Heh, my dad worse those from the time he joined the military in 1946, through retirement in 1966 and up until 1991. My uncles finally got him to buy normal glasses.

I'm considering joining the army to further my education and for personal experience. Being that I just lost my job, I need a decent paycheck, and this would definitely be it. I'd be making double what I was making before and I'd get free college education.
hehe right now my hair is pretty damn long, but I was wondering what they'd think about that if it's tied back. Chances are that's still frowned upon.

They'll give you a friendly recommendation that you cut it.
