Hair is a vital and symbolic aspect of both our conscious and unconscious lives. Beautiful hair denotes vitality, sensuality, health and sexual potency. For both men and women who lose their hair there can be a sense of deprivation of their life force.

Think of the mighty Samson who fell to his knees when Delilah took the sheers to his mane or the traditional cultures that require women to cover their hair in case men are bewitched by it. In some cultures loose hair denotes loose morals. In the Sikh religion hair has a divine significance and a sense of group and religious identity and kinship.
