I've totally seen it go both ways, and I could absolutely BS my way through an explanation for it based on characterization.
That said, one of my favorite genderswap fics I've seen involves Dean's hair not growing when he's swapped (since, you know, long hair is not actually a secondary sexual characteristic. . . .) and thus him being described as having a "pixie cut".
Does femme!Sam ever have the sideburns? 'Cuz that'd be *awesome*.
I feel like the fics I've worked up the nerve to look at go both ways, and I've probably seen the one you're thinking of. It just started to really *stand out* in the art, to the degree that it seems like it's the rule, rather than the exception.
I honestly think that the main reason is that Sam's hair being as it is now is so integral to the character, any change would seem sacrilege. And people seem to like the idea of Dean with flowing blonde locks.
Just once I'd like to see one where Sam's hair is down to her ass. Or the floor. JUST ONCE.

You're really hankerin' for that ponytail, aren't you? You should write to him about that. I bet he'd do it.

I should totally do so. Or at least attempt to draw it. I've been meaning to find a good project to try out my new tablet + stylus with.

He could have a headband. Very Pinkie Pie 80s.
