Your proposal, in its current form, is to shave half of his head, like this. The hope is that a) nobody will notice how long his remaining hair is, and b) people won't be bothered that half of what should be there is not.

Tabs, meanwhile, are like this. Being split apart hasn't solved any of the individual strand's length problems. If anything, it's allowed whole sections of hair to become even longer because, hey, there's room now.

What's really wanted is a haircut in a world devoid of barbers. That is a beautifully wonderful and majestic example Snapper-san XD. I agree with this amazing explaination completely.
