Right, I have the same problem myself. One way to remember this kanji is as follows:

Look at the top left corner of the kanji and you'll see a part that looks like  as in 長い(ながい) = long. Now look at the bottom part of the kanji and you will see (とも)= friend.

Everyone wishes to keep his hair as long as possible... like a long-time friend.
