Is It Really Just Hair ?!

“A woman who cuts her hair is about to change her life.” – Coco Chanel 

Why? Why did I cut my hair?! 

Well, I just as Coco said I was ready to change my life. Knowing what I know about hair and energy. I was ready to walk into a New Year and New Life with no one's energy but my own. I also wanted to be free of any lingering negative energy. 

What many do not know and understand is we hold energy within our hair. We can give and receive information from the Spirit world via our hair. However, just like everything else in life your downloads are attracted in. What's in your energy field you will attract! 

So knowing this I decided to cut my locs off. As I always process the words used for things. I "Loc'd" my hair in 2022. During a time in which I was still deeply lost in life. I still needed much healing. During this time I was also still with my ex-husband. At times when I needed assistance I'd ask him to assist with my hair. When on good terms he'd agree and we'd bond during that time. Thus, "locing" some of his energy into my hair. 

I struggled with the decision to cut my hair. I went back and forth for weeks, putting it off for as long as I could. But, if there's one thing you should know about being Spiritual. Well, if you don't make the decision Spirit will step in and make it for you. When Spirit steps in, just know there's a hard lesson or truth you'll learn. The weeks leading up to me cutting my head. I had issues with my hair. My scalp hurt in the crown and around the edges first. 

Secondly, I started growing patches of hair in-between my already established locs. This caused overcrowding, and thinning with my locs. My new growth was literally overgrowing my locs. The weekend leading up to me cutting my hair. I took a sabbatical due matters of my heart and emotions. Dealing with my emotions alone with the frustrations of my hair. I finally went to the mirror in my bathroom and just cut a complete patch of locs out. 

Standing there looking at the five locs in my hair. Five the number of change, I figured well. I guess I'm doing this, I said. I quickly closed my eyes and cut off the remainder of my locs. After I felt empty but not in a down depressing way. Just empty, light. I cried a little and indulged in a stiff drink. Then I went to bed. The next morning, I woke and stood in my mirror almost unrecognizable to myself. 

Yet, I was very pleased with my decision. I evened out my cut and shampooed my hair. Afterward, I shared with my kids by leaving my room. My kids loved and encouraged my new haircut. They asked why I cut my hair and I explained to them how. I just wanted to remove certain energies. Understanding, energy and how we exchange it my kids understood. They congratulated me on my clean slate and we had a dance party. We have a lot of dance parties in this house. 

My oldest is used to me cutting my hair. She's seen that anytime I had a big transition in life. I've cut my hair. I cut my hair each time I found out I was pregnant, I also cut my hair the day before my wedding. Hair is important, yes, however knowing what I know about energy and hair. Well, it's always been just hair in my world. Just as energy comes and goes. I feel the same about hair. We shed it and it grows back. Releasing negativity and that of which no longer serves us, so that new blessings and beginnings can come in. 

So I agreed with Coco Chanel, that a women will cut their hair when she's ready to change her life. I believe that if she is listening to her intuition, her internal compass, Spirit, whomever she prays to; then she is being led to purge energy from her auric field. Trust and believe if this is what she cut her hair and it has nothing to do with a fashion trend. Now, she is about to reintroduce herself. And the beauty of hair growing back, is she can reintroduce herself again once it grows back. We have the power to reinvent ourselves at any point in life. 

How do you feel about your hair?!
