Have a look at this long-haired man in Nepal. The length of his hair reminds me of the hair-length of Danny Cecati (EYEFEAR), Baron Misuraca (VASARIA) etc.
I love Sadhu's locks
Hello,
This guy is probably a Sadhu, that is a holy man, who makes a vow of piety, and poverty, and lives off alms. There are many sects of Sadhus, and long hair is not the rule, but in some sects, men grow their hair in dreads, and shave their heads upon the death of their guru. In most sects, rejection of material goods is practiced to varying degrees, and one sect, the Nagas, also abstain from wearing clothing, even in public.
You can learn more about Sadhus at the following link:

This site has a good description of who the Sadhus are.

Warning: Some Sadhu sects adopt a strict undress code, and viewer discretion is advised for the above site.
(When I was in grade school, there was no viwer discretion warnings on National Geographics magazines :) )
Have a nice day,

Awesome dreads that are so well taken care of; see how straight and untangled they are down to the end of the photo, as though they aren't dreads, but simply larger locks of straight hair (which, I suppose, they sort of are :P). When I see hair this long, sometimes I'm struck on the religiosity and natural "letting-go" of it; surely, we were all meant to grow our hair as long as it can go, dreaded or otherwise.
Thanks for sharing. Cool pic.
