ways of life often viewed as more rigid, such as soldiers and religious cultures, frequently have explicit rules regarding hair length. for example, buddhist monks shave their heads as part of their order of worship. similarly, religious men with long hair include the nazarites of the hebrew bible (samson being a famous example) and the sikhs. subservient cultures may view male long hair negatively, and are sometimes detected by their rulers through hair length, as was the case with the gaelic irish under english rule and the moors under spanish rule in medieval spain.

some muslims are also opposed to men having long hair as it is also important in islam to have clear differences (in appearance) between sexes. and generally these cultures encourage women to have long hair and men to have short hair. the taliban in afghanistan viewed long hair for men as a western influence, and punished it by arrest and forced haircuts, although this would be a direct contradiction of the sunnah of the prophet. similar measures have been taken by islamists in iraq. in spite of this, several taliban affiliated members of the mehsud clan are recognisable by their long hair. the saudi islamist fighter amir khattab was also notable for his long hair. dervishes of some sufi orders, such as the kasnazani, often have long hair and whirl it around during rituals.
