Long Human

Why did human beings evolve long hair on their head?
I can understand why many features have evolved in humans in order for them to survive. But why did human beings evolve the feature of having long hair on their head. Chimpanzees and gorillas didnt need it. And I see no need for it in humans. So why?
"Concerned" makes an excellent point. I heard that theory as well. I've also heard it has something to do with sexual selection. There was a time in our ancestry, before the invention of the hair cut or salon, where we made a subconscious association between hair length and volume with longevity and health. A shiny, long-flowing mane usually meant that a person had darn good genes, and was associated with good health. So, natural selection probably went to work and men and women with longer hair got mates quicker until human beings started to get long hair as a whole species. Either one is plausible.
