Long Hair Style As Construction Of Social Identity for UIN KHAS Jember Students

Abstract

As a form of identity that describes a person's character, long hair has various meanings in life, especially daily behaviour. The construction of the social identity that is formed provides several definitions and destructive paradigms for its users. However, many points of view say there is nothing wrong and should be underestimated. In this historical research, the writer describes how long hairstyle is a construction of social identity in local culture. With an ethnographic perspective, the author approaches the existing local culture to provide answers to the statement. The hope is that the extended hairstyle paradigm does not always get a bad rating, but it can still provide a positive value
