Well ther were long beards extending under the helmet edge.
There is pictorial evidence too.
Somewhere I have read that long hair were good to grab you when you were running away not when you did a stand.

Perhaps long hair might be an obstacle in raid/guerilla warfare not in ordered rank fighting.

Plutarch in "life of Lycourgos" talks much about long hair but Plutrach had no military experience.

Kind regards
