Greco-Roman hairstyle

Detail of two men from a drinking party scene on an Attic red-figure calyx-krater (510-500 BC)[1]

In the earliest times the Greeks wore their κόμη (hair of the head) long, and thus Homer constantly calls them κᾰρηκομόωντες (long-haired).

False hair or wigs were worn by both the Greeks and Romans.[2] Among both peoples in ancient times, the hair was cut close in mourning; among both, the slaves had their hair cut close as a mark of servitude.[3]
