Black has traditionally been the color of occult priests through ancient cultures from the time of the magi in persia, from which we get the word 'magic' from. This theme reoccurs frequently throughout history- Even catholic priests and judges use black and all of this has to do with the planet saturn. In terms of letting their hair grow long, long hair was symbolic of virility in males and as a sign of divine strength. Samson wore long hair, the ancient spartan warriors and greeks wore their hair long. Also traditionally long hair as believed by the ancients served as antenae to communicate with the higher realm.
