You've seen this scene depicted in cartoons and movies...the woman is not cooperating so caveman knocks her out with his club and drags her away by the hair to have his evil way with her, or whatever. Did that ever really happen? How do we know it did? Were there pictures of this drawn on caveman walls? Did cavemen think this was funny? Like schoolboys writing on bathroom walls about the girl they like or hate so they make fun of her with pictures or abusive rhymes?
What did cavewomen do to deserve this treatment? Not shut up? Confuse the caveman with a superior idea on perhaps how to invent the wheel? I know when I'm trying to fix or do something that requires my full attention and there is a woman harping at me or playing smarty pants with their dumb idea on how to do it better or differntly...I start to understand that caveman urge to just BONK 'EM! (Of course I don't...I'm just making light of this common situation).
What proof is there for bonking in prehistoric times?

I doubt the stereotypical club to the head was really used. First off it likely would have killed the woman. I think it is just an attempt to show early courtship rituals as simplistic and comedic.
I reality I don't doubt there was a fair amount of forced affections, but sadly that's still true today.

Bonk On The Head

Flint is sharp, probably they used it to file their nails as well. By the late stone age people took some pride in their appearance such as bone pins through the hair,maybe to keep it up. By the bronze age, women have been found with hair nets, there have also been bronze razors,small combs, and even bone tweezers (what they were plucking we don't know!) As someone else mentioned, by the iron Age we actually have preserved remains, which shows hair of varying different lengths (though the newly cropped hair of some bog bodies may have happened for ritual purposes) including use to prehistoric hairgel and eleborate styles for men such as long hair twisted into a 'swabian knot' on the side of the head. many were clean shaven or just had a short,trimmed beard.

According to TV, a slightly more authentic source than, say, the Sunday funnies, a caveman's preferred method of wooing is working in a retail store and charming her pants off with his impressive beard and sloping forehead.
It might not always work, but at least she gets a good insurance rate.

Medium duration hair because it is easy to be able to handle and you can still perform most of the hairstyles

Of course their isn't proof of **** that happend in pre-historic times, that is the definition of the word, prior to recorded history. "Cavemen" were basically smart apes so they probablly had similar mating habits, bonking on the head not being one of them.

I've had mine both ways too... but our husband prefers it short... he never ever complains when I grow it lengthy, but is always all over him self w/the complements when I cut that off

No proof, just what one may imagine from the mind of a cavemen...I recommend not trying this today... ;-)
