Maybe, haven't seen anything for, or against that theory.

It's a dead end. It looks like SSj3, sure, but we have no reason to believe SSj3 was based off Raditz.

Well, what reason would Toryama make the hairstyle so long? The only other character to have hair that long was Raditz. Both SSJ 3 and Raditz even have the ripple effect in their hair.

Toriyama's notoriously famed of making things up along the way. Just like 19 & 20 as final villains, then 17 & 18, then Cell.

Doubtful if he based off SSJ3 of a character which died a pitiful death early in the series

Maybe he just based SSJ3 on the fan perception of 'having more hair means you're stronger'.

He probably wanted to make the difference much more clear than it was between SSj and SSj2, and having more hair spike up would look ridiculous.

Indeed. There was no other option to make SSJ3. So long hair was the best smh.

Well, those two are brothers. So I guess if it was somehow possible for Goku to have long hair, it'd be pretty much like Raditz'.

As to if it was really based off Raditz, can't say for sure, I mean, I recall Jisu's long hair reminding me of Yamucha's hair (Saiya-jin Saga), so I guess it's how AT draws long hair on men, doesn't have that much variety.
Every villain is the hero of their own story.

Mr.Toriyama reuses alot of designs in his manga, he re-used Android 8's facial structure for Recoome and then used Recoome's hairstyle for Android 16. The same can be said for the namekians and the kais, the kais are just purple namekians with hair.
