How is long hair on the front of your head a chatzitza for tefillin.

As an aside. I remember a shiur given by rabbi reisman where he mentioned a group of strong men david hamelech had. The gemara describes them as tough guys and one of the descriptions of them is that they all had a bluris. At that point he got sidetracked and mentioned that bluris, despite its common translation as chup, is not a chup. He mentioned rashis explanation of bluris and also the halacha of bluris and tefillin. I don’t remember what he said except “a bluris is not a chup”. I remember thinking “mohawk” as I heard his explanation.
