 Is there a halachic basis for that? <<

I suggested a while back on the "Yeshivishe Payos" thread that the basis for
this was the interpretation of the Aruch and the Rashba (along with other
Rishonim) to  the Gemara in Berachos regarding "Zakancha Megudal", that
growing a long beard was a way of counteracting those who took it off
entirely. Same would apply to long Peyos.
