Raiden's long hair (in Metal Gear) is part of his iconic design, initially natural but later potentially a wig after cybernetic enhancements, symbolizing his evolving, stressful life and transformation, while Raiden Shogun (in Genshin Impact) has long hair to represent eternity and as a design element for her "eternity" theme, often braided to manage its immense length and showcase detailed back designs.
Raiden's hair is natural. It's not really a style or hair cut. He just has mid length hair with a middle part. He also has longish bangs. Really all you would have to do is just straighten and comb your hair.
Two of the most common reasons for Eren's hair to grow longer is that: He knows his future and doesn't care to groom himself. It also gives the audience another way to piece together the timeline.
Cultural thing. Japan in the Taisho era still valued samurai culture which included long hair as symbol of pride & honor.
Within metal, it helps quickly identify allies and aesthetic preferences. For many, long hair is a rejection of conservative appearance standards and a statement against corporate or military-style grooming. In masculine-coded subgenres, long hair ties to an aggressive, untamed image consistent with the music's themes.
High-Energy Music Works for Some ADHD Brains
Some individuals report better focus and mental clarity when listening to fast-paced genres like electronic dance music (EDM), upbeat techno, or even heavy metal.
That said, short-haired and bald metal musicians are becoming more common. Especially in death metal, metalcore, and djent, where image matters less than music. So while long hair remains a strong metal symbol, it's not a requirement anymore.
Since the word begins with a 'w', Japanese netizens use 'www' to represent laughter - same as 'lol' in English language. Later they found funny that the shape of letter w resembles a cluster of grass. Therefore, '草'(grass) is used to mean 'lol'.

Conventional wisdom: In Japan, excess facial or body hair, especially on women and increasingly on children, is often considered unclean or undesirable due to cultural norms that value grooming, subtlety, and social conformity. Smooth, hairless skin is associated with femininity, cleanliness, and proper etiquette.
The Simple Reason as to Why Mikasa Kissed Eren's Head. In the end, the message is clear. Mikasa kissed Eren because she loved him, and she never stopped doing so. Her affection transcended the chaos of wars and the formidable powers of Titans.
We call it the 2.25 rule.
Practically fool proof, this rule states that if the longest part of your chin is less than 2.25 inches from the tip of your earlobe, then short hairstyles are for you.
Some of the Nine Titans could talk while others cannot. Those who could not talk had mouths that physically prevented them from proper speech, such as Eren's. The ones that could talk include Ymir, Zeke, Pieck Finger, and Lara.
It's not "raider" but "raiden", which the hanzi/kanji is 雷電, meaning lightning. Zhongli calls Baal "Raiden Shogun", Shogun is the title of a Japanese general that seized the power of the country and sidelined the Emperor.
Rarest 5* Character
The Musou Isshin was a sword Raiden Makoto owned, despite not using it much. Ei simply took it as a way to remember her Sister by and eventually inserted her consciousness/mind in it and discarded her real body, basically turning the sword into her new body, one that does not erode, and keeps it inside the puppet.
His hair would probably have been short and curly or frizzy. Long hair on men was rare and culturally frowned upon outside of special vows, such as the Nazirite vow (which Jesus, as far as we know, didn't take). A short, cropped beard was likely.
One misunderstanding of broided

In men aged 31 or under with moderate to severe male hair loss (classified as stages III-VII on the Norwood Scale) the average sperm count was found to be significantly lower - the Daily Mail reports almost 60 per cent lower - than among test subjects who boasted a fuller head of hair or mild thinning.
People of East Asian descent and especially Japanese, experience hair loss at one of the lowest rates in the world, and start much later in life than other places. Those that do lose hair, generally, start in their 40s and 50s rather than their 20s and 30s.
