Bach's hair would almost certainly have been cropped very short, if not shaved completely, as this was de rigeur at that time in order to wear the elaborate, heavy wigs that were a vital part of a gentleman's wardrobe.

Ockham's view that "a buzzcut ... popular right now among sexually ambiguous European males" is pretty far off target. Many of my best friends have buzzcuts, and very few of them are 'sexually ambiguous'. Not even the gay ones.

Oh, I get it, 'sexually ambiguous' means that the actual gender is in question, so some element of cross-dressing is implied, which also involves elaborate, heavy wigs, which is where I came in, so.... it all makes sense!
