At the risk of causing a revolt, I have to say that I personally do not care for the Ellery with the long, over-the-shoulders hair.

On this thread, you're allowed to have and express almost any opinion. I picture Ellery with long hair, basically just over his ears, just long enough to gather into a small ponytail in back when he needs to look more conservative.
Peace be with y'all,
Fred

For me, Ellery's hair has gotten longer over the course of the story, probably because he hasn't had time to go get a haircut.

Well, like most people with long hair (say for example, me) it doesnt really grow very fast, so Ellery's hair started out long (see Leslie's excerpt... "long, jet-black hair") but I suppose if you'd like to think "long" means just over his ears... go for it!  It doesn't play too much into the plot until of course Ennis starts playing with his hair...

I picture Ellery's hair like Hugh Jackman's hair in my avatar but longer. Perhaps 4 inches longer.

I think men with long hair are sexy  ;D.

certainly to his shoulders... but everyone is entitled to their own "Ellery hair-length".  It's longer than Ennis's, and liable to tangling when he showers.  Which is why Ellery can never pull off the 5-minute shower that Ennis can!

Hmm. Oh, my! You've come very close to displaying a photograph of my inner Ellery.  :)
