I came across an article some time ago that confirmed a long held suspicion that, people with long hair, have a more acute sense of perception than most: when someone feels that "gut instinct" about someone,or something ,only to be proven right when all doubters fail. And then there are those times when you leave the house at the right moment and you know, you're probably going to see someone you don't want to see, and them boom!! Well enough of that..What I'm getting at is.. Our hair just might be an extension of our central nervous system, attenae' if you will. Native American men grow their hair long for this very reason. Hair is strength, power, and part of the "essence" that makes up the human animal. It not only keeps your head warm and protects it from cuts and some (bug bites) it tells others who we are . The army did experiments on Native American recruits" they found that when they shaved off all the hair of some , and left it on the other group. They found the men with shorn locks were less able to track properly,and almost all felt ungrounded,unable to feel the and read the signs of the land and with much LESS Bravery also. They were frightfull,the group that kept the hair long. Were much more in tune with the surroundings. And were able to advance like unseen silent ghosts becoming a part of the land .amazing the study facilitators, I believe after this.natives had the option of keeping their hair long. I've been 'growing' my hair now for ten years. I've always been a perceptive guy.and I feel my hair does add an extra element to my life persona:I've even chopped it off in a blinding fit of rage in my younger years, thank goodness for getting older and wiser about things. All in all I'm happy I got hair, and I'm still trying to predict a lottery win.. Have a wonderfully day

Very interesting post. A long time ago, in many cultures, men and women had long hair. There was necessarily a reason for that, probably a spiritual reason.
For example, in Europe before the invasions by the Roman legions, the Celts were famous for their long hair. Hair had a considerable symbolic importance for them and represented the vital force and the connection with nature.
Nowadays in western society, this symbolism has unfortunately been lost and hair is regarded as a fashion accessory only.
I have long hair and I notice that I can often trust my intuition. If hair is like antennas towards the world around us, it can explain the feelings that I experience myself. Feelings which often prove to be true.
I think I'll try to learn more about this topic.
