First, when signifying nobility, it shows that a character is cultured, traditional and otherwise showing classical Japanese virtues. In this case, the hair will be long, straight, very clean and neat. Normally, they will be stoic or reserved. Frequently, such a character is also martially adept and it will show in their manner.
The second way this is used is to simply give a quick cue that someone is a samurai. In theory, samurai are supposed to be noble and cultured as well, but it is not uncommon for them to have their appearance much less cared for presumably due to not having the time or inclination. The hair itself will also frequently be a good deal shorter. In terms of mannerisms, if someone has this second style of hair they will be less clean and organized and are frequently more gruff, down to earth or aggressive in their attitude.

It becomes a plot point when a woman who seeks revenge on a high-ranking samurai begins killing the samurai's subordinates and then cutting the ponytails off of their dead bodies, an act of supreme disrespect (and which could endanger their souls according to the beliefs of the time). This offense draws the high-ranking samurai out and leads him to hunt the woman down, at which point she's able to challenge him to a duel and win.
