Interesting alternative article about hair

Okey.. I found this article a good wile ago on the internet. Not sure how much truth there is in this story, but it may give a interesting discussion.

Can this story be true? :side:

I can't say if it is true or not, but I can say that each time I get a haircut, I feel a bit depressed, without any reason.

Interesting. I recently got a very bad, very short haircut, and there is a certain numbness that's come with it.

Comment: SOTT can't confirm this story or the research it suggests took place, however, we have wondered on many occasions, what is the use of hair and why so many legends refer to hair as being a source of strength, from Samson, to Nazarenes, to the Long Haired Franks.

I think that explains it... I have run across this before and have never found any evidence this is even remotely true.

Besides that, what do you think about the idea itself? Love to hear opinions! :blush:

While I'm inclined to agree with Kyrin the idea itself is interesting. It would be interesting to see more actual studies done on this.

Well Aqua, I think its a fascinating sci fi concept. I used to read a book series called Deathlands about a post apocalyptic world full of mutants. One of the lead characters was a girl that had semi-intelligent prehensile hair. She used her hair to sense her world as a 6th sense and when she was in danger it would wrap itself around her head and protect it.

Cool stuff but beyond that the articles claims are pure woo woo.
Hair is not an extension of the nervous system and cannot be characterized as “exteriorized” nerves or antennae. Hair is dead tissue that has no metabolism and hair does not "emit energy". The "Kirlian photography" they talk about merely shows a corona discharge from any conductive object. In this case the head itself.

I was about to say, where's the research to back some of this up... Anecdotal evidence isn't really evidence.

Thank you for your words, but this is not about evidence. Just about the idea, to get a interesting talk. See it positive! Not every talk has to be backed up to the core to make it enjoyable right? .. .. I hope :blush:

To say.. my own opinion about it, i was stunned when I saw this for the first time :blink: even the hindu`s have some kind of spirituality to their hair.. in case you wondered about their turban purpose, here you go: http://www.sikhdharma.org/content-spiritual-technology-turban

I can not say that it is true or false, but I enjoy reading all these different stories and culture things.. Like to share my enjoyment
