I don't even see why the hair is such a big deal, but he definitely looks more manly witth his hair like that, which is probably what Kishimoto was going for.
I'd rather it be like Minato's or at least Jiraiya's. I don't understand why it had to be so close to Obito's hairstyle. He was literally introduced a couple chapters ago, whereas Jiraiya has been there since part one.
