Hmm.. I saw it as sort of a societal critique.

His hair was a sense of pride/identity. It was a way that he identified himself with his peers.

Many people are judged on their appearances, in this case he saw some fellow peers getting arrested who looked similarly to him.

And so he wanted to conceal his locks, not to be judged/seen by the police.

It was just showing one of the dynamics of wearing his hair as he did. The way others may view his locks. While it was sense of pride/identity for him, it was to show that the police associated it with something else.

Indeed!

That definitely clears it up. I'm kinda embarrassed that I didn't catch that now

Yea I thought it would have something to do with him wanting to get out of the hood and start over bettering himself. So he got up went to theshop and abandoned his identity, the very same identity which echoed his surroundings. Really good little short flick. Had to be a pain in the %!% to findsomeone with locks willing to cut them all off.
