No longer does long hair grace exclusively the rock gods of past and present, with it now seen all over pop culture, from actors to sportsmen to the eccentric streets of Soho. Wikipedia states that "long hair is a hairstyle where the hair is allowed to grow to considerable length". While that's pretty obvious, how far back do the long locks go?

The story of Samson (according to Wikipedia - not to be confused with Samsung) tells the tale of a lion slayer empowered by his seven long locks, who went on to be betrayed by his third wife Delilah, having them cut off for a small price of 1,100 silver coins. Long hair went on to be a symbol of power and wealth throughout ancient Greece, where warriors would adopt the ponytail to keep it out of reach during battle. Fast-forwarding to AD 428, King Chlodio of the Salian Franks went on to defeat Roman forces for over 20 years. He was known better as 'Le Chevelu', aka, 'The Long-Haired King', pioneering a beard and long hair way, way before Shoreditch discovered selvedge denim jeans and tattoos.

"Long hair is usually associated with the maverick. Your non conformist" Joe Mills says. "Arguably a creative or a think out-of-the-box kind of the guy, someone who isn't scared of the intention it brings". If we look at the intellectuals and creatives of the past there's been Beethoven, Newton, Einstein - all of which can be associated with their hairstyles as well as their long list of talents. The closer we get to modern times some of the most infamous musicians of all time can always be remembered for their hair. "Steven Tyler, Axl Rose, Kurt Cobain - they are all seriously cool and to many women, sexy as hell". Then there's the sportsmen, such as David Beckham (who's gone through almost every hairstyle possible), or potential ancestor of Samson himself, French rugby player Sebastian Chabal, who embodies the testosterone of The Terminator and Thor combined.

Heavy metal fashion is the style of dress, body modification, make-up, hairstyle, and so on, taken on by fans of heavy metal, or, as they are often called, metalheads or headbangers. While the style has changed from the 1970s to the 2010s, certain key elements have remained constant, such as black clothes, long hair and leather jackets.
Back in the 1980s, long curly hair was very important to fans of music ranging from Thrash Metal to Pop Metal. Every morning before school was a long time spent with the curling iron and hairspray.
Why? It was the metal look that trickled down from how the bands were wearing their hair. Why did the bands do it? Part of it was rebellion. Longer hair was seen as more free and less constrained. Part of it is just that long hair is great for headbanging.
