While not nearly as common as Long-Haired Spock, a long-haired James Kirk is a trope in Star Trek: TOS fanart.
Kirk's long tressess are most often seen in alternate universes and symbolize a warrior status or an earthy, powerful status.
Most long-haired Kirks appear in slash fanworks.

I love the kaleidoscope in Spock’s hair. It takes my breath away each time I look at it. It is nicely framed on the page, but I find myself wishing it covered the entire page" and "What a lovely, hot, dynamic drawing. The entire drawing was in print before, but this is a close-up of just the kiss, which makes it even more powerful. A passionate, master/slave kiss...Spock master/Kirk slave...and drawn quite nicely—lines on the spare side that are nonetheless fully expressive." [1]](/w/images/thumb/1/13/Kali7.jpg/180px-Kali7.jpg)

Deeb's 1991 front Spock has touches of rose and gold while DEW's 1993 back Kirk has gold and green. Both sport sexy earrings. I wish their eyes had been open in the drawings."
