    Question: I heard from our elders (buzurg) that the youngsters cannot longer their hairs as of sunnah at ear lobes or at the shoulders.

    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 389/393/L=4/1438)

    Every person can grow his hair according to sunnah. However if teenagers avoid growing hair like this then there is no harm, rather it is better.

    قال في المغني لابن قدامه: ويستحب أن يكون شعر الإنسان على صفة شعر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم  إذا طال فإلى منكبيه وإن قصر فإلى شحمة أذنيه (المغنى لابن قدامه: 1/266 مكتبه القاهره)

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
