i don't think the "hair lock" detail has been sufficiently explained, and no one is sure (par for the course). Perhaps others could offer opinions? Also, I'm not sure if those scaled Greek helmets actually existed; that could be painted decoration or even repousse decoration being shown --most folks think that's the answer.
