Hair taboo. If the head is attributed to such a degree of holiness that it cannot be touched without inflicting a grave offense on its owner, it is clear that cutting the hair must be a delicate and complex procedure. Hair cutting, according to primitive man, is associated with a twofold difficulty or danger.

Then they sent to Paris to Queen Clotilde, the grandmother of the children, a messenger with scissors and a drawn sword. The messenger presented the queen with scissors and a sword and put her before a choice: either to cut the children off and they will live, or death awaits them. The proud queen replied that if her grandchildren were not destined to wear the crown, she would rather see them dead, but not trimmed. So the children fell at the hands of their cruel uncle Chlothar. The king on Ponapa, one of the Caroline Islands, was required to wear long hair; the same applied to his nobles. In the Negro tribe of the Gos (West Africa) “there are priests whose heads have not been touched by a razor throughout their lives. The god living in such a person, on pain of death, forbids him to cut his hair. If they eventually get too long, the owner should pray to God for permission to cut at least the ends of the hair. They see the abode of God in their hair, so if they were cut off, God would lose refuge in his priest. " Among the Maasai, members of the clan credited with the ability to cause rain do not have the right to pluck their beards, because this, according to local superstition, would entail the loss of this ability. The same custom (and for the same reason) is observed by the leader and sorcerers of the Masai: as soon as they plucked out their beards, they would have lost supernatural abilities... People who have taken a vow of vengeance also do not cut their hair until they fulfill their promise.

Thus, regarding the inhabitants of the Marquesas, it is known that “from time to time they completely shave their heads, with the exception of one strand on the crown, which they leave to curl or tie in a knot. They wear such a hairstyle only in those cases when they made a solemn oath, for example, to avenge the death of one of their close relatives, etc. In such cases, this strand is not cut until the promise is fulfilled. "

Hair cutting rituals. When the need to trim hair does arise, steps are taken to minimize the risk associated with this procedure. The chief of the Namosi tribe on the Fiji island, faced with the need to cut his hair, always ate a man out of caution. "The obligation to supply a sacrifice lay with a certain clan ... at the solemn council, its members made a decision in order to turn away the attack from the leader, and arranged a sacrificial feast."

When cutting hair, the Maori recited many incantations: one, for example, was pronounced in order to consecrate the obsidian knife with which the hair was cut; the other was pronounced to avert thunder and lightning, which local belief is believed to be caused by cutting hair. “The person whose hair is cut is under the direct care of the spirit (atua)… he is isolated from communication with his family and tribe… he hesitates to touch food with his own hands - someone else puts it in his mouth,” for several days he has no right to go about his usual business and communicate with friends. " Whoever cut their hair also becomes taboo. Since his hands came into contact with the sacred head, they dare not touch food or do anything else; one of the tribesmen feeds him with food cooked on a sacred fire. The taboo cannot be lifted from him until the next day. On this day, he rubs his hands with potatoes or fern root, also cooked on a sacred fire; and after this dish is brought to the head of the family on the female side and he tastes it, the taboo is lifted from the hands of the “hairdresser”. In some parts of New Zealand, haircut day was considered the most sacred day of the year; on this day, crowds of people gathered from all over the area.

Removal of clipped hair and nails. Once the hair and nails have been safely cut, the difficulty is getting rid of them. Indeed, from any harm caused to them, the damage will be suffered equally by their owners. The idea that a person can be bewitched by strands of his hair, clippings of nails or any other part of his body is widespread almost all over the world, and the evidence that speaks in his favor is too extensive, known and unambiguous to subject this question here to a detailed study. This superstition rests on the general idea of ​​a sympathetic connection that supposedly exists between a person and everything that has ever constituted a part of his body or has any intimate contact with him. We will restrict ourselves to a few examples. They belong to the area of ​​sympathetic magic called contagious magic. In the past, the inhabitants of the Marquesas had a particular fear of witchcraft.

The sorcerer picked up a hair, spit, or anything left over from the person he wanted to hurt, wrapped it all in a green leaf and put the bundle in a bag tied with an intricate knot. He buried the bundle in compliance with certain rituals, after which his victim died from a debilitating illness that lasted 20 days. The life of such a person could be saved by finding and digging up nails, hair, etc., since after that the magic remedy lost its power. In an effort to kill someone, the Maori sorcerer tried to take possession of a lock of hair, clippings of nails, spit or a piece of clothing from his victim. Having obtained what he needed, the sorcerer sang spells and curses over him in falsetto and buried him in the ground. While the buried thing was rotting, its former owner was supposed to die. When an Australian aborigine wants to get rid of his wife, he cuts off a strand of hair from the sleeping person, ties her to a spear thrower, and heads to a neighboring tribe, where he hands her over to a friend. Every night, he sticks a spear thrower into the ground in front of the fire: a sign that the woman has died is the fall of the spear thrower. The mode of action of this magical agent was explained to Dr. Howitt by a native of the Virad-Yuri tribe. "You see," he said, "when our medicine man grabs something that belongs to a man and roasts it with spells, the fire absorbs the scent of that man, and it finishes the poor fellow." The Hutsuls living in the Carpathians imagine that if the mice take possession of someone's cut hair and build their own nest out of it, their owner will suffer headaches or, moreover, be mentally damaged. The Germans also believe that if birds get their hair cut off and build a nest out of it, the owner of the hair will get headaches; or it is also believed that a rash will appear on his head. The same prejudice has, or had, circulated in the west of Sussex.

It is also believed that trimmed or combed hair can affect the weather: cause rain, hail, thunder and lightning. We already know that when cutting hair in New Zealand, in order to prevent thunder and lightning, a special spell was cast. In Tyrol, witches are suspected of causing severe hail and thunderstorms with their hair cut or combed out. The Tlingit Indians, as you know, attributed the storm to the rash act of the girl who combed her hair when she left the house. The Romans apparently held the same opinion: on board the ship, they cut their hair and nails exclusively during a storm, that is, when the misfortune had already struck. Among the Scottish Highlanders, the sister is said not to have to comb her hair at night if her brother has gone to sea. When a member of the Mani tribe from Chitomba, or Jumba, died, people in droves ran up to the corpse and pulled out its hair, teeth and nails: all this they kept as a magical means to cause rain that would not otherwise fall. Natives of the Makoko tribe of Anzikos asked the missionaries to give them half of their beards in order to use them to make it rain. If clipped hair and nails maintain a sympathetic connection with their past owner, then anyone who takes possession of them can use them to enlist a good attitude from their former owner. Indeed, in accordance with the principles of contagious magic, one has only to harm hair or nails, as it will simultaneously harm a person. Therefore, when the Nandis take someone prisoner, they shave his head and hold his shaved hair as a guarantee that the prisoner will not attempt to escape; when a ransom comes for him, they return his hair with him.

In order to protect cut hair from damage and from danger from sorcerers, you need to hide it in a safe place. The Maori chief's trimmed locks were carefully collected and buried in a nearby cemetery. The Tahitians buried the cut strands of their hair in temples. One traveler noticed on the streets of the city of Soku pyramids of large stones with tufts of human hair inserted into the cracks. When asked what this means, he was told that when local he cuts his hair, he painstakingly collects the fallen strands and sticks them into one of these pyramids, which are dedicated to the local fetish and are therefore inviolable. Pyramids from sacred stones, as the traveler later learned, were a common precaution against witchcraft: if a person treats his hair carelessly, some of it may fall into the hands of the enemy, who will be able to entangle its owner with a spell and destroy him. When the people of Siam, with great solemnity, cut the tuft from the head of a child, strands of hair are placed in a small jar of banana leaves and allowed to flow along the course of the nearest river or canal. As the hair floats away, everything bad and harmful in the child's character supposedly floats away with it. Long hair is retained until the child makes a pilgrimage to the Buddha's footprint on the sacred hill in Prabat. There, the hair is given to the priests, who, having made a brush out of them, allegedly sweep the Buddha's footprint with it. However, in fact, every year so many hairs are donated to the priests that they cannot use it entirely. Therefore, they calmly burn the excess hair as soon as the pilgrims set off on their way back. The cut hair and nails of the Roman priest Jupiter were buried under a tree that brought happiness. The severed braids of virgin vestals were hung on an old lotus tree.

In other cases, the cut hair and nails are saved not so that they do not fall into the hands of the sorcerer, but so that during the resurrection of the body, which some peoples rely on, they will be at the disposal of the owner. Thus, the Peruvian Incas kept the clippings of nails and hair cut or combed out with the utmost care; they inserted them into recesses in walls and niches. If they fell out of there, the Indian who noticed it picked them up and put them in place. V different time I asked various Indians why they did this, and each time they answered me the same way: “Know that all people who are born must return to life (they have no words to express the concept of resurrection) and their souls, along with everything that belonged to them bodies must rise from their graves. So, in order not to be forced to search for our hair and nails at a time when there will be a lot of haste and disorder, we put them in one place so that it is more convenient to collect them together; we also try to spit in one place whenever possible. " And the Turks also never throw away the clippings of nails, on the contrary, they diligently put them in cracks in walls or in boards, confident that they will need them on Sunday. Armenians do not throw away the cut hair and nails (as well as pulled out teeth), but hide them in places that are considered sacred (for example, cracks in a church wall, a pillar of a house, a hollow). They believe that during the resurrection they will need all these parts of the body, and whoever does not hide them in a safe place will rush about in search of them on this great day. In the village of Drumkonrath in Ireland, there were once old women who, having learned from the scriptures that all the hairs on their heads were counted by the Almighty, expected that on the Day of Judgment they would give an account for them. To be able to do this, they hid their cut hairs in the thatched roofs of their homes.

Some nations burn unnecessary hair so that they do not fall into the hands of sorcerers. This is what the Patagonians and some of the tribes of Victoria do. In the Upper Vosges, the inhabitants say that clippings of hair and nails should never be scattered around oneself so that the sorcerer does not use them for his own purposes; it is best to burn them. For the same reason italian women unnecessary hair is either burned or thrown away in a place where it cannot be seen by anyone. The widespread fear of witchcraft prompts blacks in West Africa, makololo in South Africa, and Tahitians to burn or bury their cut hair. Many inhabitants of Tyrol burn their hair so that the witches could not use it to raise a storm; others bury them or burn them so that they are not used to build bird nests, as in this case those to whom they belonged would have a headache. There is a clear inconsistency in the practice of destroying hair and nails. It aims to prevent the parts separated from the body from becoming a tool in the hands of sorcerers. However, the possibility of their use in this capacity depends on the sympathetic connection supposedly existing between them and the person of whom they were a part. And if such a connection continues to exist, then how can these parts of the body be destroyed without harming the person himself?

Hair in esotericism

Human biofield energy passes through human hair. In other words, hair is the conductor of this energy. Energy passes through the hair to the outside, joining together, forms an energy current. Such a current can arise spontaneously, depending on the case, it is not always advisable and necessary for the energy of a person as a whole. Hair length determines the strength of a given current. At first, long hair, growing by fifteen centimeters, constantly increases the amperage. Then the process stabilizes and, with further growth, gradually drops to zero. This pattern is inherent in healthy people with stable energy. In weakened people, the current may not be observed at all. Long hair perfectly accumulates energy, energy is not wasted in vain. Such hair serves as an additional ...

Overview

COSMAS

There are many examples of the "cosmic" meaning of hair. In ancient Russia, no hair was cut. This custom has survived in modern monasteries even in relation to men. Hair is perceived as "antennas" that receive cosmic information. In evil witches, they are disheveled, disheveled, confused. And vice versa, the image of long beautiful flowing hair evokes good feelings in the soul. The fact that hair is a carrier of information has been known since ancient times. Brushing your hair daily is a kind of magic rite... Since ancient times, people have given Special attention hair care. From an early age, girls' hair was braided into one three-pointed braid, for this symbolized the unification of the vital forces of the Worlds of Reveal, Navi and Prav. The braid was located along the spine and it was believed that all the bright Celestial forces through the hair pass into the spine and fill the body, Soul and Spirit of the girl with a special vitality, preparing her for the future Sacred mission of motherhood. When the girl got married, her maiden braid was unraveled and instead of her two braids were braided, for from that time she received through her hair, gathered in braids, vital Divine forces not only for herself, but also for the future pe6yonka. In Russia, women necessarily covered their heads with a warrior, to rip off a headdress was considered the most terrible insult (to go wrong means to be disgraced).

HAIR AS CONDUCTORS

They are not only different colors, but also of a different structure: thick and thin, straight and curly. Thin hair speaks of the versatility of a person in connection with Heaven, i.e. the ability to catch a wide "range of waves". Coarse, thick hair in a simpler person with a constant "range". Therefore, people with thin hair they are more often mistaken, it is easier to confuse them, but they are easier to recover from any trials. curly hair there is a great possibility of "interference", turbulence, as a result of which their owners are distinguished by increased emotionality, spontaneity. But curly-haired people are never fans, unlike people with straight hair. It is believed that if a person's hair is straightened, then at best he has taken a more direct path. With graying, the structure of the hair changes. It is believed that until a person turns gray, he lives his own life, but as soon as gray hair appears, resonance with other people turns on.

STRENGTH IS IN LENGTH.

In Hindu mystical symbolism, hair, like a cobweb or threads of yarn, denotes the "lines of force" of the Universe, permeated by the "hair of Shiva" - a powerful god. Ancient and ancient gods, evangelists and apostles were most often depicted with long hair, which indicated their physical strength and spiritual strength. It was believed that it was in the hair that the soul lived, and if they were cut off, then a person could lose mental and physical strength. Cutting your hair means changing your life, it was well known in the old days. Only people who were in a state of emotional turmoil voluntarily and even happily cut their hair, following the Old Testament prescription in sorrow, "renounce their hair and throw everything evil on them." Since the hair is the source of our cosmic Power, it means that everything that happens to them changes the course of the invisible river, which washes us with its bioenergetic waves. Therefore, any effect on the hair can change in one direction or another not only our appearance Probably with the same mystical attitude and the accumulation of life force energy in the hair is a long-standing omen - not to cut the hair of pregnant women. Combing the hair was a kind of sacred ritual, during which one could touch the cosmic currents and feel in direct In the sense of this word, streams of life force descending from Heaven. The Sacred ritual was performed with the help of a comb made either from the Sacred Metals or from the branch of the Sacred Tree. The girl could only allow her chosen one or her husband to comb her hair.

Hair color and your personality

Not only the color of her eyes, her favorite makeup or a tube of lipstick can tell a lot about a woman. Weight interesting information"Coded" in the color of her hair. Please note - all of the following applies to natural color hair. If you dye your hair, then, most likely, you are unhappy with your natural data, and strive to correct not only your image, but also some character traits. How richer shade, the more pronounced these or those qualities

BLONDE (all shades of light hair - from blond to light brown)

"Adorable, what a fool" is a sexy and at the same time naive dummy, who cares only about her own appearance ... This standard portrait of the heroine of jokes has little in common with real blondes. Unless the statement about sex appeal is true. Natural blondes- a species that is disappearing from the face of the Earth, there are not many of them left - about 16% of the world's population, but more than half of the men (about 70%) dream about them. At the same time, men, as a rule, deceive themselves, believing that such a wife "by default" will be docile and gentle. Perhaps the reason for such ideas is that many blondes have several childish facial features (the "fault" of that is genes), which are associated with the qualities described above. But how wrong men are!

Girls with blonde hair are not dumb, naive, or soft. They are the best at ... math and science. And, like no one else, they know how to trust their intuition. Hidden behind their composure and endurance are many strong emotions, but blondes prefer to keep them to themselves, not showing them to others. No girl with this hair color trusts another person so much as to allow him to look into his soul and see what is really going on there. Due to the discrepancy between male expectations and reality - instead of obedient and soft woman they "suddenly" get a prudent clever girl who will not miss her profit, a misunderstanding arises, which, as a rule, ends in divorce. By the way, public "opinion" and clichés put pressure on fair-haired people sometimes with such force that their first (it's the last) date with a man with very likely may end in bed.

Ash blondes are distinguished by a passionate desire to stand out from the crowd by any means, if in order to achieve a goal you need to go over other people's heads, they will do it without hesitation.

BRUNETTE (black, blue-black, very dark Brown hair)

Girls with black or very dark hair are very often, as they say, "on their minds." There are a lot of melancholic among them - easily injured, sensitive persons, prone to deep feelings of even minor failures and self-criticism. Brunettes know firsthand what self-doubt and a sudden lightning-fast mood change from good to disgusting are. "A spoken thought is a lie" - most of them agree with this passage of Tyutchev, because brunettes prefer not to talk about their experiences and problems especially. They instantly flash like matches and also instantly calm down.

One of the favorite ways for brunettes to assert themselves is breaking men's hearts. And the point here is not at all in the fiery sexual temperament- in this way they get rid of doubts tormenting them about their beauty and need for other people. Dark-haired people are more interested in psychology in general and psychotherapy in particular, art and religion. The lighter the tone of the face, the more pronounced the described qualities and the more clearly the sentimentality is manifested. Brunettes are very purposeful persons: natural born tacticians and strategists - in most cases they achieve what they want. It is interesting that men dream of blondes, and usually marry "femme fatale" - brunettes - this rule also applies to billionaires. One study collected data on the color of their wives' hair. Almost 70% of the hundred billionaires surveyed had brunette wives. And only 22% turned out to be blondes.

RED (from orange to copper shades)

Red-haired girls are more nervous than others and have an "explosive" temperament. The fact is that they produce less anti-stress hormones than women with other hair colors. Such persons are emotional, impetuous and sometimes inconsistent. Redheads hate being pressured and have a hard time putting up with different kinds conventions, preferring to be branded as big originals, rather than stepping on the throat of his own song and behaving "as expected." They are firmly convinced that no one owes anything to anyone, and are actively implementing this principle. The redheads wanted to sneeze at the authorities, the opinion of one single person is important to them, and this person is themselves. They find it difficult to get along in a team, just because they prefer to “keep up” and prefer the status of “loners”. Red-haired very rarely "filter" their statements, they are not busy with spontaneity. By the way, this spontaneity, as a rule, extends to all spheres of life, including sexual. Redheads not only have sex more often than others, but also manage to do it with different partners. In addition, these girls are good at thinking outside the box.

BROWN hair (brown hair of all shades, except very dark)

Delicate, “cozy”, as if radiating warmth, brown-haired women are often underestimated by men - and in vain! Most brown-haired women have a fairly even, calm character. They are sociable and pleasant in communication - they make new acquaintances with pleasure, it is not necessary to choose a suitable topic for conversation with them for a long time and painfully, as a rule, a casual conversation seems to be tied up by itself. To their strengths also includes poise and stress resistance. With a sweet smile on her face, the brown-haired woman is able to extinguish the "fire" in the office in a couple of minutes and find a way out of a seemingly hopeless situation without succumbing to panic. But in a “peaceful life”, when there are no rush jobs, and, as a result, unplanned bursts of adrenaline in the blood, monotonous, routine work is given to her extremely hard, bringing melancholy. Brown-haired women often, without realizing it, rely not on their appearance, but on their mind, and then they wonder why men perceive them as "guys in a skirt", highly value their intelligence, professional competence and ability to think logically, trust piquant details personal life and ... have romances with other women.

As our grandmothers also said, a braid is a girl's beauty. But our hair is not only curls or luxurious curls that make us cute and captivating. Since ancient times, it has been believed that hair is the invisible power of a woman, her dignity, an indicator of hidden strength. The way a girl or woman treats her braid affects her relationship with her lover, his career, and the health of children. Our hair needs not only to be cut and washed - it also requires our love. And deservedly so, because they "work" for our benefit.

Hair energy: contact with the upper spheres

Many people call human hair "antenna", with the help of which our soul is connected with space (from here, by the way, the word "cosmas", "shaggy" came from). So our body is filled with new energy, and in the same way we give ours to the world. Each hair is hollow inside - radio waves from God (Universal intuition) go through these "channels".

Divine energy of hair

Yes, the Russians believed that hair is very difficult. All girls at that time (with a total lack of shampoos and conditioners) wore a long braid. This hairstyle "covered" the chakras located near the vertebrae from the evil external energy- thereby saving vitality the girl herself. And, in addition, with all the variety of hairstyles of this type, we braided exactly three-piece braids. This is a kind of code: the union of body, soul and spirit. The youngest walked around with one braid connecting their mistress with the higher spheres. After marriage, the young woman already made two braids for herself - one for God, and the second in order to establish good connection with your beloved and share with him your inexhaustible feminine energy. The hair of every woman is the comfort and wealth of the family. Even the barbarians heard about this - therefore, having attacked the city in those distant times, they were looking for the princess in such a way. By cutting her hair, they deprived most of her husband's power, as well as other defenders of the city.

Natural "accumulator"

Each hair is not only a conductor, but also a place of accumulation of energy. The longer the hair, the stronger the woman will be and the stronger her health (which will be passed on to the babies she gives birth to). If you loose your hair and they cover your chest, this means that they can protect the heart chakra (Anahata), which is responsible for love, kindness, mercy. It is this point in the center of the chest that connects our 3 higher and 3 lower chakras.

Many believe that by cutting off the braid, her mistress loses contact with cosmic energy, which affects her strength, mental and physical.

Why are girls in Russia in common days did you go with your hair loose? Not only for convenience. They believed: tied hair will not be "collected" negative energy from all over the street. But at home it was possible to unbraid a braid - so the woman gave part of her strength. Often her beloved unraveled the braid - also for a reason.

Hair energy: a connection with the past

Newborns are not cut until one year old - the fact is that their hairs are associated with the memory of their ancestors, and it is not necessary to deprive the little ones who know the world of this information too early. Conversely, after going through grief, people cut their hair to “cut off” painful memories. Some also try to say goodbye to illness or grave sin. In general, any haircut is a request for change addressed to God. The memory is with you - but the lived emotions go away.

Hair strength and your health

A sick woman will rarely have healthy curls. Hair is a litmus test that shows how your body feels, and above all - hormonal system... Diligently combing all the "cosmas", we comb out bad energy from them, thereby contributing to the relaxation and health of the body.

Esotericists say: different hairs "catch" forces from the outside in different ways. Yes, if you have thick and coarse hairs, you have practically no lack of strength - but you are very purposeful, because it is difficult for you to "jump" from stream to stream, "bend". Well, women with thin hair are more flexible, and there are few situations in which they would not find a way out - however, their energy is often inferior to someone else's due to a weak connection with God. Interestingly, when the hair turns gray, it grows thinner - this is the reason for the physical ailments of pensioners (owners of split ends and breaking hair are also painful). But morally grandmothers are very strong, because they are emotionally flexible.

Hair and your family circle

The strength of a woman with a long braid is so great that it can serve as a talisman not only for the woman herself, but also for her husband. Men protect the family from physical problems, while the woman's task is to energy protection... In the old days, it was believed that the hair collected and covered by the warrior was a circle-amulet for the whole family. Therefore, it was considered a bad sign for a married woman to go foolish, that is, to open her hair in public. And if the headdress was torn from her by force, they did it with the aim of humiliating and insulting.

The veil of the bride is also difficult decoration... You never know who sits among the guests - the veil will protect you from both an unkind eye and a bad word. In addition, a comb thrown through the wedding threshold protected everyone present from evil spirits. And the same comb, but with 7 teeth and 2 skates, which was brought by the young, served as her amulet.

It was impossible to just let your hair down - so you could pick up someone else's misfortune, and give your happiness. But if the husband loosened the braid, it was on the contrary, gave him strength.

Who could appear in public with loose hair?

Ordinary women do not - their neighbors and relatives would have scolded. But the priestesses often used the power of their scythe. True, after such a "exit" they cleansed themselves - washed their hair with herbs, accompanying the ceremony with conspiracies, as well as prayers. Moreover, this was not only in Russia, but in all ancient cultures of the world.

Of course, you live in the 21st century, and mysticism for you is nothing more than the theme of a popular film. When choosing a hairstyle, you first of all look at the ease of styling or the number of celebrities who have tried on this or that haircut ... But if you want the energy of the hair to work for you even now, follow a few tips.

1. Do not wear long hair loose. Ponytail, braid, hairpins - you have a lot of options.

2. If you nevertheless decide to "disband", do not do it in a crowded place - on the street, in a supermarket, in transport, and especially in a hospital or in a cemetery.

The energy force of the hairstyle

Order in the head - order on the head. Now "free styling" is in vogue - and in vain. Neat hairstyle for women with an open forehead (did you know that in Russia they did not wear bangs, not wanting to cover their fate with them?) - this is what a woman needs.

Styling such as a low bun promotes the development of humility, calmness, meekness and other peaceful qualities. Well, a high tail gives strength, energy, activity. And of course, the longer the hair, the better! Do not forget also that your destiny can change not only from a haircut, but also from painting.

Does hair affect the well-being of its owner?

If your hair is well-groomed, fate will not deprive you of wealth. So the treatment of brittle hair, restorative procedures is a contribution not only to your appearance, but also to abundance - after all, more heavenly energy comes to your family through healthy hair. So do not skimp on cosmetics - and of course, trust the experience of your ancestors, rinse your hair in herbal decoctions. And pamper them with a comb in the evenings longer!

You also need to be able to comb your beauty

Hair is like a sponge - it absorbs any emotions. A wooden comb will easily "clean off" all this. No sharp movements! In addition, you can ask your loved one to comb your braids - he will receive a powerful energy charge, which will be extremely useful after a hard day at work.

How do I get my hair cut correctly?

If unhappy love befell you, they are persecuted bad memories, cut off all unnecessary things from your head. But of course, no one wants to cut off their luck along with the negative. So only cut your hair on the right days.

In full moonlight or solar eclipses and also "satanic" numbers lunar calendar- 9, 15, 23, 29 - don't even come close to the scissors.
