Samurai hair usually is called chonmage hairstyle. It shaves hair from the top to the crown while keeping the other part of the head grow long & ties into a small ponytail at the top of the head. Chonmage hair is now worn by sumo wrestlers without shaving the top of head.
Shown above is the character of Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai and the author of The Book of Five Rings (a well known book on classic military strategy that is studied by numerous businessmen today).

I think the style has a noble look to it, because samurai were men of honar. Not to mention average mens hair styles today are boring short hair with no style. Men should try having long hair for a change, it's more attractive…
