The Egyptian enquired of the Spartans why they wore their hair so long. Olympieus replied, quoting the lawmaker Lykurgus, "Because no other adornment makes a handsome man more comely or an ugly one more terrifying. And it's free."

Young native Americans were forced to cut their hair when they were being assimilated by the churches. They were also forbidden to speak their native languages.
