It's mainly to do with longer and seldom cut hair being a lot harder to keep healthy than shorter and often cut hair is.

Being a man or woman doesn't directly dictate the quality of one's hair, rather in the current cultural environment it influences how long one's hair is likely to be allowed to get before it's cut (and how much it gets cut) which in turn influences how healthy one's hair naturally is.

Then there's also the whole concern with one's external appearence which again in present day culture is also different in average for men and women, with the latter under more social pressure to look well groomed.

Plenty of guys out there with long hair have to go to a lot of trouble to make it look healthy when they actually try to.
