They had to cut their hair because their descriptions in the newspaper described what they look like. If they kept the same appearance, hair length, and hair colour they would be easily recognisable.

Why the disguise is so depreassing to johnny and Ponyboy?

---- [ Aaah. The love of English literature..] ---- It is traumatic for Ponyboy to cut his hair because his hair is part of his identity. Unlike the Socs who have madras shirts, mustangs and money, the only valuable thing the Greasers have is their hair. Ponyboy's hair is his trademark, his signature. It makes him feel that he belongs. Another reason he dislikes to cut it is because it look similar to Sodapop's long silky hair which in his opinion looks attractive. On page 87 of the book, "The Outsiders", Ponyboy states, "Our hair labled us Greasers. The one thing we were proud of. Maybe we couldn't have corvairs or madras shirts, but we could have our hair". Ponyboy is distraught when he has to cut his hair because it is the only thing he has that is valuable to him. ----
