Fan Casting Wild Hair in Sort by Tropes

Characters have unkempt, shaggy, or unusually long hair, and often beards — usually dark, though it may have gray in it — to show that they are close to nature, possibly the Nature Hero. Often occurs for the Mountain Man. Indicates that the character can handle himself in a wilderness, and such skills as tracking. On the other hand, he is often Better with Non-Human Company. Poor social skills aside, a character sprouting this hairdo tends to be good. Chaotic Good, but heroic nonetheless.
