English Definitions:
Long hair
Long hair is a hairstyle where the hair is allowed to grow to considerable length. Exactly what constitutes long hair can change from culture to culture, or even within cultures. For example, a woman with chin-length hair in some cultures may be said to have short hair, while a man with the same length of hair in some of the same cultures would be said to have long hair. Scientists view hair as playing a large part in natural selection among many species, since thick and healthy hair or fur is frequently a sign of fertility and youth. Humans are however among the few species that grow their head hair very long. Human head hair serves as primary source of heat insulation and cooling as well as protection from ultra-violet radiation exposure. Long lustrous female hair is rated attractive by both men and women across cultures. An evolutionary psychology explanation for this attraction is that hair length and quality can act as a cue to youth and health, signifying a woman's reproductive potential. As hair grows slowly, long hair may reveal 2–3 years of a person's health status, nutrition, age and reproductive fitness. Malnutrition and deficiencies in minerals and vitamins due to starvation causes loss of hair or changes in hair color. The prevalence of trichophilia is 7% in the population, and very long hair is a common subject of devotion in this group. Among the Masaai and other cultures, short or bald hair on women is considered attractive, so the degree to which attraction to long hair in women is cultural remains to be studied.
