Default Nephew coming to stay for the summer

My 11 year old nephew is coming to stay with me for the summer while his mother is away with work. He is quite looking forward to staying with his aunt.

However, there is one problem. He has very long hair, half way down his back and really does look like a girl. There aren't any long haired guys around here and I am worried about him constantly being upset by people thinking he is a girl and telling him to get his hair cut.

What steps can I take to make sure this does not happen? He is quite feminine looking and, if I didn't know, I would think he is a girl too. Obviously cutting his hair is out of the question as he is not my child.

Haha this made me laugh. But you're right, you really have no say because he's not your child but give it a few days and see the reaction of the neighbors.
