Actually, it was a law enacted in San Francisco to further humiliate the chinese coolies. It happened about the same time that public masturbation by chinese was out-lawed.

Was it something to do with the communists - ie it being ;'old fashioned' to have pigtails. Or did they sell them all to Delboy and Rodders?

I'm not sure but part of the ritual humiliations under Maoism would often involve dragging the victim around the room by their hair. I read a book by one victim and she cut her hair so they couldn't do that any more, her tormentors were livid.

I'm guessing it dropped from popularity cause there were enough bigots who thought it was funny to cut them off
