/^t/Sociologically hair can be treated as a medium for expressing someone's ideas or political preferences. It is easy to spot people who represent movements or belong to a group that share the same ideas, which frequently reflect political preferences, e.g. the Skin-heads show strong jingoistic tendencies, in contrary to the hippies who are against inequality, violence and war. The two opposite groups are easy to differentiate because the skin-heads prefer very short haircut, whereas the hippies prefer no hair-dresser's intervence at all.
