Ever since the beginning of the book, we have seen that Pony's hair is very important to him. It seems that it is one of the main things that he values.
The reason that Pony values his hair so much is that it is a symbol of who he is. It is his way of showing what kind of person he is. As you know, Pony is one of the greasers. The biggest thing that sets them apart from other people is the way they wear their hair. It is like their symbol of who they are.
So, to Pony, cutting off his hair is like denying who he is and forgetting where he came from.
