Modern military train soldiers to shave and keep clean in the field. I think it will be important to keep up with things like cutting hair and beards, even if it's a No.1 all over, and just a neatly trimmed beard (neatly trimmed legs for ladies, no enemy rib bone weaving for reasons that will be mentioned later.)
After SHTF, we will be making quick judgement of people based on appearance. Say for example, whilst scanning the horizon on lookout, you spy a stranger. They have dirty, torn clothes, messy beard and hair, and dirty skin. To me, this says cannibal raider, possibly psychotic or carrying a disease.
Now compare this to seeing somebody with worn cloths that have been kept in good condition, recently cut, reasonably clean hair, clean shaven or obviously well kept/trimmed facial hair and clean skin. What does that say? It says that they have the discipline and state of mind to stay clean in the field, or maybe are a member of a well organized group, with the ability to clean and repair clothes, and provide adequate hygiene for multiple people.
What are your thoughts on this? What do you plan to do? For me personally, the length of my hair serves as a pretty accurate BIKINI State warning, the shorter the hair the more serious, as one of the last things I'd try to do before things get mad is get my head shaved.

Woe to those who add house to house and join field to field, Until there is no more room, So that you have to live alone in the midst of the land!
