uncut hair

Locks without scissors

Hair that has not been trimmed or cut, allowed to grow to its natural length.

The phrase often carries cultural or religious significance—Sikhs maintain uncut hair as an article of faith, Rastafarians as spiritual practice, and Nazarites as biblical vow.

Outside religious contexts, uncut hair simply means unstyled or grown out: She hadn't visited a salon in years and wore her uncut hair in a long braid.
