Seriously, you look at these pics of ancient warriors and it makes you wonder how people managed to fight with hair like this.
It gets sweaty, hangs in your face and eyes at the worst moments, the foe can grap it and if you sleep in bad conditions with your squad it surely has a hygenic drawback too.

because they didn't... it was most likely dreadlocked/ braided or very short cut...

Long hair > short hair.

Short hair is for degenerates while long hair is for superior men. If you cut your hair you are doing what the army wanted you to do prior to WWI. Long hair is a much more ancient ideology then some shitty swag fuckbois fresh trim.

Is there anything worse than Romaboos?

>>1265544
normans did pretty well with cleanshaven faces and just a bit if hair toward the front of the head (to keep it from tangling in chain aventails or something like that, iirc)

>the foe can grap it
This stuff is a meme. Whenever someone says no one fought with anything like long hair or a crest on their helmet because the enemy could grab it ,they are talking shit. People fought with crests all the time, and the same with long hair.

If you want to stand there trying to grab my hair, presumably having to drop either your weapon or your shield to do so, be my guest.

Long hair/ long beard = Age + Experience. Means you have been doing whatever you are doing for a while so maybe its a intimidation tactic

While you're busy doing that he's shanking you with whatever he has.

Your move.

Also (depending on how you style it) longer hair can act as a natural sweat-band. Getting hair in your eyes is better than sweat in your eyes, imho
