History

• The New Testament asks "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering." (1 Corinthian 11:14-16).
• Late evangelist Billy Sunday coined the term "long-haired men and short-haired women" for his disapproval of the LGBT people and liberalism.
• In the 17th century, Manchu invaders issued the Queue Order, requiring Chinese, who traditionally did not cut their hair, to shave their heads like Manchus. The Chinese resisted. Tens of thousands of people were killed due to their hairstyle.
• Until the Beatles came along, classical music was called longhaired music, because a longer style was popular among male orchestral artists and conductors.Fact: date=September 2007
