Comment on Why did Japanese samurai shave the tops of their heads, leave the sides long, and have a small pony tail tied in the back?

  Thanks! That’s really interesting, I didn’t expect that. The media probably throws that in cuz it is kinda the stereotypical hairstyle for old school samurai.

  I’ll add that the shaved top of the head helped them stay cool in battle while wearing the aforementioned helmets.
