Absalom had long hair?

So I was watching this movie on King David. In this one part Absalom tried to take over his father's kingdom and they had this big war.

There's a part of the movie where Absalom is running away from the soldiers and his hair gets caught in some tree branches and they kill him.

My question is this....wasn't it a sin for men to have long hair back then?? I think they really exagerated the length of his hair in the movie but in real life....his hair would have still had to been LONG to get caught up in trees branches.

What do you guys think?
