Question

and if it is permissable for one to tie the hair back?

Answer

There are three narrations regarding the length of the hair of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam); till the earlobes, till half the earlobes and till the shoulders. (Shamaail)

It is not permissible for a male to tie his hair at the back as that is the practise of females.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
