long hair

Rapunzel's defining feature

Long hair is hair grown past conventional short lengths, typically reaching the shoulders or beyond.

The term also refers to a person, usually male, with such hair—often implying countercultural or artistic inclinations: a bunch of long hairs at the coffee shop.

As an adjective (longhair), it describes classical or highbrow music and its devotees, sometimes dismissively: longhair music, longhair intellectuals.
