Hair styles have come and gone over the millennia, but it seems to be constant that women’s hair is longer than men’s. Has there ever been a time (or place) when men’s hair was longer than women’s?
In the subculture of 80s hair bands.
At one point in my house about four years ago I had the shortest hair there. Husband’s and son’s was longer. And mine is about four inches below my shoulders. They weren’t in eighties bands though (although that might have been kinda cool) - one was just an ageing hippy and the other was a high school senior.
Not sure if this is true in parts of Africa or Australia (pre-assimilation period of the Aboriginals).
Perhaps at gay and lesbian alliance meetings?
Perhaps in China, 19th century, when men were required to wear a long braid.
In Masai culture only warriors have long hair and all warriors are men, so that probably counts.
At least some Khanty (fisher-hunter) men of Western Siberia wore their hair extremely long (think waist-length braids proudly displayed). As the Khanty women in late-19th - early 20th century photographs always have their heads covered, it’s hard to tell if they had even longer hair. At least in effect they didn’t.
