When i wear a helmet , i always wear a cap under it .
It helps to get a good fit for the helmet and it also takes the sweat when i'm in combat.
Mail is only a good protection against cuts, it is useless on unpadded bone-areas,arrows and bodkin like spearheads.
A padded cap(also an under garment-submaralis) or a padded aventail will prevent a bone(vertibrate) to break.
Better brused than broken.
Lose hanging long hair is even dangerous for the warrior himself, it gives something extra to
get hold of, same width long beards.
So for your safety in combat wear your long hair in pigtails.
