The Vikings had long hair. Speaking of the Bible, what about Samson? Pippin the Short deposed the last Merovingian king by cutting his hair and throwing him in a monastery. The Merovingians wore their hair long as a sign of their kingship. The Pippinids wore their hair short to show that they were not Merovingians. The length of men's hair depends on the society. The style in the 1700s was for men's hair to be just past shoulder length and held back in a ponytail. It's really got nothing to do with the Bible or any sort of tradition - it's more fashon than anything. At the moment it is the fashon for men's hair to be short. Wait a few years.
Does anyone know if women have always had longish hair or if there are cultures where the woman keep their hair short?
