I have very short hair on the sides and heavier on top. When I’m working out, I usually tie it back in a man bun. I’m assuming I would need to shave it off though? Or could I just have it shorter and neat? (Harrogate)

If you have a typical boys cut then it would need to be to the same requirements of the guys, which is short back and sides with regards to top length this varies from different training establishments. however will probably be required to be short also.
