I have recently become interested in hair, of all things. In today's western society, it would appear rather boring, too much effort, or uncomfortable. Most men have short hair, while most women have long hair. I find it parculiar that in Basic Training, all the men are ridden of mostly all of their hair. Throughout their time in the military, they are forbidden to have beards or long hair. This reflects our current paradigm, which is extreme cleanliness, conformity, and suppression of creativity. I find it interesting how certain things in time change so drastically. I think this is possibly due to the tribal mentality of Man. When a new standard is shown by an individual in power, the masses usually follow suit.
With that said, here are some things that sparked me to write this.
So these skeptical and controversial above articles begs the question. Why does human hair on both the head and male face have infinite growth, unlike other parts of the human body and other animals? Some theories have been the delicate structure of the head. Unlike other parts, the head has very little muscle and fat, both of which are helpful in physical blows. With this being said, it is possible that evolutionary traits can have multiple reasons.
As for myself, I will continue to allow my hair to grow, just as the Biblical Samson, certain Native Americans, and Vril women. I do get strange looks often, as well as smiles and laughs. I will update you if anything superb happens, unless the E.T.'s advise me differently.

With that said, here are some things that sparked me to write this.
The prophet Samson's power was recorded in Scripture as being innately connected to his long, thick hair. Among the Temne of Africa, it took hours or days to fashion a hairstyle. The fine rows of the hairstyle were a symbolic representation of the cultivation of the land and thus indicated civilization. These hairstyles are termed 'cornrows.' Among the Polynesians of the Pacific, the first time a boy's hair was cut marked his coming of age. It was also a way in which he was now differentiated from women. Hair was thought to contain the mana or power, and so the cutting of hair was a risky business. To mark this special occasion, the women of the Cook Islands draped "tivaevae," specially decorated quilts, about the room. These tivaevae were given as gifts to mark special occasions such as this haircutting ceremony.
Ancient Hairstyles
Inside (the Special Forces' documents) were hundreds of pages of certain studies commissioned by the government. He was in shock from the contents. What he read in those documents completely changed his life. From that moment on my conservative middle of the road husband grew his hair and beard and never cut them again. What is more, the VA Medical center let him do it, and other very conservative men in the staff followed his example.
The mammalian body has evolved over millions of years. Survival skills of human and animal at times seem almost supernatural. Science is constantly coming up with more discoveries about the amazing abilities of man and animal to survive. Each part of the body has highly sensitive work to perform for the survival and well being of the body as a whole.The body has a reason for every part of itself.
The Truth About Hair and Why Indians Would Keep Their Hair Long
To further differentiate themselves from the general public, the Vril Society broke from the traditional short hair styles worn by women of the day, and instead grew their hair long and twisted it into pony tails (although they rarely wore their hair in pony tails in public). The Vrilians believed their twisted hair acted as antennas to facilitate contact with the extraterrestrials.

As for myself, I will continue to allow my hair to grow, just as the Biblical Samson, certain Native Americans, and Vril women. I do get strange looks often, as well as smiles and laughs. I will update you if anything superb happens, unless the E.T.'s advise me differently.
