Long, luscious hair is almost universally regarded as an archetypal feminine trait and commonly accompanies other such traits. The only exception seems to be the Badass Long Hair, which has been a masculine trait at least since the Bible Times. Nowadays, the two tropes are commonly merged to produce a Lady of War. Or a Badass Bishonen. This is a universal Super-Trope that factors into many, many others. Following list is far from complete: Compare Hair Decorations, Pink Means Feminine.
