“In ancient Athens, the female hairstyle was a distinctive symbol of status worn by women of high social rank and wealth when they appeared in public settings such as religious festivals. Throughout ancient times, long hair was considered elegance, freedom and wealth for both men and women in almost all cultures. It's the same in all of them, from ancient Greece to China. In fact, in regions such as steppe cultures, Japan, Mora, and Northern Europe, short hair was a characteristic of slaves, and cutting one's hair was one of the most serious insults that could be done to a person. Almost all Greek gods and goddesses were depicted with long hair, and all mythological heroes had long hair. Philosophers, poets, all high-status professionals, clergy, kings and queens always have long hair.” -
