Where to put hair after cutting at home?

The heroines of Russian folklore - the owner of a thick shiny mop of hair. Hair carries magical power and mystical meaning. Respect for them is the key to energy. There will be no self-confidence and mood if the tips are unevenly trimmed and the bangs are reared. The situation will be corrected by a trip to the hairdresser, but they put it off until the last, for fear of causing damage and severe headaches. Negative consequences are easily avoided by doing the right thing with cropped hair.

Fears did not appear from scratch. Slavs are known for their special attitude towards curls. They attributed magical powers to them, considering them antennas for communication with the Higher powers. Representatives of this large ethnolinguistic community in Europe sincerely believed that they kept information and energy of a person from the moment of birth. The Slavs turned hair care into a ritual to make them even stronger, longer and shinier. They shunned haircuts: with cut off curls left health, youth and life. The longer the hair, the more wealth, abundance, happiness and harmony in the family.

A similar attitude to the hair has developed among the Gentiles. Neither men nor women cut them unnecessarily. So that long hair does not interfere with the campaigns, men braided a braid and gained strength in the fight against the enemy. It was not good for a young girl to appear with her hair in public if she did not want to be considered a witch and dreamed of a successful marriage.

Many years have passed since then. While some consider the signs related to hair cutting as dark superstitions, others believe in them and observe them.

• You can not cut curls yourself if a girl dreams of happiness in marriage.
• You can not trim the hair of her husband so that he does not get sick.
• Children can not cut their mothers and fathers, so as not to bring death to them.
• Moms cannot trim their daughter or son's hair so as not to cut off their happiness.
• You can not do a haircut for a pregnant woman if her health and well-being are expensive.
• You can not cut your hair during the session and exams at school, so as not to forget what you have learned.
• You can not throw your hair out in the street so as not to provoke headaches in yourself.
• You can not get a haircut from an unfamiliar, untidy and not credible, hairdresser. He can envy success and cause damage to the cutting man.

Depending on who and at what age a haircut is done, ways to utilize hair vary.

There are conflicting views on the haircut of boys and girls at the age of one. Hairdressers, under the strict guidance of superstitious mothers, cut off one single strand - the one on the top. They take it to themselves and carefully store it until the child grows up. They hide her in a secluded corner, next to the icon of the Blessed Virgin Mary, believing that she will protect from evil spirits and sabotage.

There are mothers who demand a hair cut of a one-year-old baby. In their understanding, through the patrimonial intrauterine hair, preserved for up to a year on the head, strength and health go away. After the haircut, they also pick up the "infant" hairs and store it in a casket as a talisman.

From generation to generation, the belief that cut hair stores a particle of vitality in itself has been passed down. Therefore, all their lives, grandmothers and great-grandmothers collected them in a special bag, and before death they asked relatives to put it in the grave - in the headboard.

In the 21st century, mystically minded people are rarely met who care about the fate of the hair cut off at the hairdresser. Those who believe in signs, collect them from the floor and take them with them so that the wind does not pick up their hair, the person with malice does not pick up, and the bird does not take it to the nest. They are pushed to such a step by a fear for health and the prospect of facing troubles.

Girls decide where to put their hair after cutting at home.

1. They burn them in a stove, fireplace, or bonfire. All accumulated negativity will evaporate in the fire, get rid of troubles and ailments.
2. They throw curls into a pond or sewer. This option is not chosen by everyone, but only those who are sure that happiness will not be washed away with streams of water.
3. They bury the cut hairs in the ground in a deserted place. To do this, dig a deep hole. Otherwise, animals or birds will get to the curls.

With each combing of hair on the scallop hairs remain. Girls treat them differently. Some, without hesitation, throw them into the bin, while others choose a method of disposal that does not contradict the traditions of their ancestors. Young women get rid of hair loss by washing their hands. They fall into the sink. Over time, the stock will clog in hairy shreds and you will have to call the plumbing. To prevent this from happening, it is better to throw them into the toilet and flush with a large stream of water.

Strands with a length of 25 centimeters and more are sold. The price of them depends on whether they are painted or not, gray-haired (15-20% lower price) or not. The whims of the stylists and the wishes of the buyer leave an imprint on what color the hair will be preferred - dark or light, wavy or straight, Asian or European.

Often buy cut curls at the hairdresser. The master will make an offer if he sees that the client has decided on a short haircut. Sometimes they refuse him, because he offered a small price and sell it independently through ads on the Internet, in a magazine, on a fence or post.

The table below shows the approximate prices for hair loss characteristic of megacities.
