Ancient Greece and Rome: In these societies, long, well-maintained hair was a symbol of wealth, freedom, and high status for both men and women. Slaves, in contrast, typically had their hair cut short or shaved, for both practical reasons (hygiene, preventing lice) and as a clear visual marker of their enslaved status.
Viking Age Scandinavia: The universal sign of a thrall (slave) included a slave collar and short-cropped hair.
The same is true nowadays. Short hair is associated with corporate & army slave look.
