I'm sure everyone has been privy to the assertion that hair is dead. Apparently it's the only thing about you that has no life. Not only do I not believe it is dead, I believe it is one of the most sensitive features of the body most susceptible to changes in the environment and internal health.
I no longer wash my hair at all for various reasons, and I keep it long. Keeping it long has been acting like a canary in the coal mine type situation and has allowed me to understand my sensitivities a little better.
Greasiness and hair fall
Since I no longer wash my hair, I've noticed hair quality can change moment to moment depending on stress levels, nutritional status etc. If my hair becomes greasy, I know things in my body are not quite balanced or sufficient. Stress is too high, fat is too high, or oxygenation and circulation is compromised.
The odd thing about greasiness is it can disappear the moment you correct the problem. The grease DISAPPEARS. If anyone can tell me where the grease disappears to or how, I am very curious to know indeed. I've had moments where I realised my stress levels were too high, so I meditate to lower them. After a session my hair feels completely grease free, wispy and nice to the touch. I believe this is what women refer to as a "good hair day" and can happen without washing it.
I assume the increase of my perception surrounding my hair is due to my cutting out PUFA for the longest period yet. whereas my hair was almost always falling out before, now I have reached a level of stability where it doesn't if I'm good to myself. I believe reducing the PUFA has allowed me to better percieve fluctuations between stability and instability manifesting first in my hair.
Also massively lowering stress has other observable benefits like improved cognitive abilities, better memory and faster recall, better sensory perception, especially vision and smell.
After the hair becomes greasy, it always begins to start falling out and so it's nice to be able to notice how my hair is in terms of texture and then use measures to make it fluffy again.
Cutting hair reduces intuition and sensory perception in native americans. I read an article where they claimed that inducting native americans into the army, where they were subjected to the right of passage of shaving their hair off, caused them to lose their perception and tracking abilities that made them desirable recruits in the first place.
This article mentions that hair may be acting like an antenna "much like the whiskers of a cat".
