<p>You tend to forget the definitely proven Suebian knob worn by a lot of Germanics from different tribes in spite of its name. It means they had long hair but not unkempt!<br>

> The idea that the Goths - or indeed any ancient Germanic people - habitually wore their hair long (like a hippy) is moot. In his >Germania< Tacitus mentions that some warriors in some Germanic tribes of the first century AD would not cut their hair until they had slain a foe, which seems to imply that their hair was not normally long, and that long unkempt hair was part of a vow (cf. the Roman practice of letting the hair and beard grow as part of mourning). The representation of Germani on the Marcus Aurelius column, commemorating the Marcomannic war of the second century AD, does not show particularly long hair. The only more or less realistic depiction of a Goth from the fifth century AD is to my knowledge that of Stilicho, which shows him with a Byzantine haircut, and not with hippy-locks.<br>
