===Pre-Columbian Americas=== [[Pre-Columbian]] [[Aztec]] priests were described in [[Aztec codices]] (including the [[Diego Durán#Literary works and influence|Durán Codex]], the [[Codex Tudela]] and the [[Codex Mendoza]]) as wearing their hair untouched, allowing it to grow long and matted.<ref>Berdán, Frances F. and Rieff Anawalt, Patricia (1997). [http://www.mexicolore.co.uk/index.php?one=azt&two=lif&id=334&typ=reg ''The Essential Codex Mendoza'']. London, England: University of California Press. pp 149.</ref> Bernal Diaz del Castillo records: <blockquote>There were priests with long robes of black cloth... The hair of these priests was very long and so matted that it could not be separated or disentangled, and most of them had their ears scarified, and their hair was clotted with blood.</blockquote>
