How about long hair? That could be used to strangle someone.
A braid can pack quite a sting, as well. There was a time when, if my
hair were in a French braid, I could hit the person walking next to me
with it like a whip. (I could do it a lot better if they were walking
on my right than if they were walking on my left, for some reason.)

who figured out it would be easier to handle the hair for strangling
purposes if it were loose rather than braided
