>>510986384 (OP)Long hair was always a nordic/germanic/caucasion thing.
1. Sun protection in the summer. Working outside with out head protection can kill you. Heat stroke today is bad. Back then fatal
2. extra insulation in winter. Having a cold today is bad. Back then your dead. Hair is free and you dont have to do anything. Free warmth
3. Having shorthair needed more maintanence slightly to long and it would fall in your eyes or anoy you. Having it long enought meant you can just use a peice of string and tie it how ever the fuck you wanted.
4. No pain if you have to cut them. Just think back what did they have. Some curde scissors or dull knifes, now imagine while regulary getting hair cuts your shear jams pulling your hair and all that shit. Have xou ever have your trimmer jam? Shits anoying if your hair are long enought you could have just putt it in a knot and cut it in one motion no hair pulling nothing.
5. Wearing helmets. You think those shitty tuna cans had pillows? Maybe if your rich but let me tell you the didnt do shit if you had to march or ride for hours while wearing it so having hair between was always a relief.
6. Status. Hair have always been status symbol, they proofed you are rich enought to care for your hair, your rich enought to have the time or people or both to care for it. Proof of beeing clean.
List goes one
Mostly shit cultures with bad Hygiene have a short hair standart because of lice and shit thats why most niggers are bald or have those thight knitted shitbraids
