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
