6. Hairstyles Samurai
At that time in Japan, much could be determined by the appearance of the samurai, including the one to which class he belonged. In ancient Japan, there was a belief that the whole life force of a person is contained in his hair, so neither man nor woman cut their hair. Samurai shaved hair on the forehead and behind on the neck, and the rest was tightly twisted into a tail or braided. Such a hairstyle could easily be hidden under a helmet before the fight, and even in such a hairstyle various accessories made of wood or metal were very often used, which in case of emergency became an additional weapon of the samurai.
