From personal experience I would say that this is not the case and this is one area where I think Ra is right to a degree but his answer is somewhat misleading. It is not any better to have short or long hair in my experience, but I do experience myself a little differently.
Hair holds a lot of energy and most of all the memories from your life. Everything you experience in a time is sort of held up in the hair so when it is cut it can be a very real ritual of self-transformation by shearing off old parts of the self. Ever wonder why some people feel so refreshed after having their hair done?
However, I think as one becomes 'more adept' this becomes less relevant than one's seeking itself. Just look at the many traditional monks with shaved heads whom certainly have plenty of connection in many cases, so I think that while it is an antennae, I don't think it is 'mandatory'.
I actually find when I get my hair cut (I grow my hair looong and cut it every couple years) I feel a lot lighter and like I've let go of a lot of old energy. Kinda ready for that again now, actually. My personality always shifts slightly after a haircut and I have to stabilize myself.
