What is the reason for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changing from letting his hair hang down to parting it?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It was mentioned earlier... that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to let his hair hang down... like the Jews when he first arrived in Madinah.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : When Islam became strong, he abandoned that practice.

The Shaykh : We will hear in the Shaykh's discussion that when Quraysh embraced Islam, he switched to their style. It is possible that both of these were the reasons.
