Long hair was for warriors, nobles and gods whilst, probably for hygiene reasons, short hair was worn by slaves and servants. Since time immemorial folklore has decreed that hair has magical properties. Caesar, when he learned of the massacre of his legionaries, swore that he would not cut his hair until their deaths had been avenged. Samson's strength was lost when Delilah cut his hair as he slept and his desire to fight was changed into servility. Over the centuries locks of hair were sacrificed to the gods in order to ward off evil spirits and demons.
On a more romantic theme it was also believed that if you possessed a lock of your loved one's hair you could put him or her under your spell. Whether women have worn their long hair style straight or curly has normally been a reflection of the political climate. In times of war austere simple styles prevailed, whilst in times of plenty, extravagant curls abounded.
