Strange question that's up for debate, would someone with long hair who infected with lycanthropy transform into a werewolf with long hair or would it magically shrink or get stretched out ?
Not including the skin tear transformation because that avoids the question of where does the hair go.
It is your character, you do what you want aesthetic wise. I do not even think most GMs care. Plus, it is magic, so it is easy to handwaive things away.
Zero is the most important number in D&D: Session Zero sets the boundaries and the tone; Rule Zero dictates the Dungeon Master (DM) is the final arbiter; and Zero D&D is better than Bad D&D.

This is a bit of an aside but....I read this topic and now I cannot get the idea of the hybrid form of a Lycanthrope with long hair looking like Cousin Itt from the Addams Family out of my head.

There are some pretty funny vintage photos around of the original Cousin Itt, Felix Silla, in costume posing with one of those sheepdogs whose hair covers their face. I checked and they're easy to search for online.

Any and all opinions are welcome
If someone has a mullet in real life, then they will turn into a werewolf with a mullet. Same goes with mohawks and every other hair style.
I strongly believe this because it would be funny to see a mohawk on a werewolf.
One of the funniest things in Wednesday was the werewolf with pink tips.
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
You have added flavor to your character why not carry it over when you change?
What order do they rank the Slayer albums in?

The lenght of your hair shouldn't reflect on your appearance as a werewolf unless you want it to. This may or may not carry into the transformation.

Ask your DM. If you're the DM, whatever floats your weregoat.
If I were the DM, sure. Their entire body could have equally long hair for all I care!

I don't think there has to be any correlation. Otherwise a bald werewolf would come out hairless, and... yeah.
Chupacabra!
