Hair - strength and wisdom

In the traditions of many peoples, there are rules for storing hair after cutting. The Scriptures say that all the hairs on our head are counted by the Almighty and we will be responsible for every hair.

Human strength is imprisoned in the hair. This is what the legend about Samson the hero tells about, who after losing his hair lost his heroic strength. Also, in the curls, the cosmic connection is concentrated, a reflection of the wisdom of a person.

If a person does not have hair, then he is susceptible to the influence of other people. It is for this reason that all slaves were bald-headed. Conversely, people with long hair do not show complete obedience and humility.

• In Russia, they called to collect hair in a ball and store it in one place, because if a clot falls into the wrong hands, you can get sick, lose strength, money, moral or physical health, and even die.

• You can't stomp on your hair, sweep it out of the way in the evening, in order to avoid rheumatism and other joint disorders.
• It is recommended to throw the cut strands into a ditch or burn them so as not to harm your health.
• How to relate to such beliefs? Accept or dismiss, or listen and think about the consequences. Sometimes not only well-being depends on the condition of the hair, but also life itself.

Hair disposal

Depending on who gets the haircut and at what age, the methods of disposing of the hair differ.

Child

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 of the head. They take it for themselves and keep it carefully until the child grows up.

They hide her in a secluded corner, next to the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, believing that she will save evil spirits from diseases and sabotage.

There are mothers who demand a haircut for a one-year-old child. In their understanding, through the generic intrauterine hair, preserved for up to a year on the head, strength and health go away. After a haircut, they also take the "baby" hairs and store them in a box as a talisman.

As you grow older

From generation to generation, they passed on the belief that cut hair retains a particle of vitality. Therefore, all their lives, grandmothers and great-grandmothers collected them in a special bag, and before they died they asked loved ones to put it in the grave - at the head of the bed.

In the 21st century, there are rarely mystical people who care about the fate of hair cut in a hairdressing salon.

Those who believe in omens collect them from the floor and take them with them so that the wind does not pick up the hair, the man with malicious intent does not pick it up, and the bird does not take it to the nest. They are pushed to such a step by fear for their health and the prospect of facing trouble.

The girls decide where to put their hair after a haircut at home.

• They burn them in a stove, fireplace, or campfire flame. The fire will evaporate all the accumulated negative, get rid of troubles and ailments.
• They throw curls into a pond or sewer. This option is not chosen by everyone, but only by those who are sure that happiness will not wash away along with streams of water.
• 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.

Disposal of hair from a comb

With each combing of the hair, hairs remain on the comb. Girls treat them differently. Some, without hesitation, throw them into the trash can, while others select a method of disposal that does not contradict the traditions of their ancestors. Young ladies get rid of lost hair by washing their hands. They end up in the sink.

Over time, the drain will become clogged with clumps of hair and you will have to call a plumber. To prevent this from happening, it is better to throw them into the toilet and flush them with a large stream of water.

Hair sales

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

Cut curls are often bought at a 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 they sell themselves through advertisements on the Internet, in a magazine, on a fence or a pole.

The main thing is not to rush and choose the best offer for yourself.

The table below shows the approximate prices for selling hair, typical for metropolitan areas.

Hair length	Price in rubles
25-40 cm	400-600 rub. / 100 g
40-60 cm	1-1.5 thousand rubles / 100 g
60-80 cm	2-2.5 thousand rubles / 100 g
80-100 cm	2.8-3 thousand rubles / 100 g
More than 100 cm	Up to 5 thousand rubles. / 100 g

Each girl has the right to decide how to deal with the curls cut off during a haircut. She can pick them up after a haircut and drown them in the toilet, leave them in the salon or sell them if the length allows.

Why you can't cut your own hair

Let's remember men again. If a man says “I don’t go to the barber for a long time - I get my hair cut myself”, then he will hear the words of approval from friends, they say, well done - he saves money, saves time, and in a hairdressing salon the armless masters will only cut off. And what will the girl hear? “Why are you crazy, you don’t want to get married?” Here they are, of course, right.

If a girl cuts her hair herself, without special skills, then her chances of getting married are significantly reduced.

And this is not because she jinxed herself, lost her karmic protection. Therefore, the answer to the question of whether you can cut your own hair is possible, but only if you are able to make yourself a decent hairstyle.

So, for men, the question of whether you can cut your own hair is not worth it. And how do special specialists explain why it is so wrong for women to act? It turns out that ladies can thus change their fate in a negative direction, become weak, having lost their energy.

But if it's so bad, then it is advised to cut a few centimeters of hair.

Even if you shave yourself completely, but at the same time you will not think sad thoughts, but will rejoice at your cleansing, then it turns out that the change of image will be beneficial.Stop, it turns out that what matters is not what we cut ourselves, but what we are thinking about at this moment!

So, young ladies, think good. Men don't care why they can't get their hair cut themselves, but at the same time we say that they are so lucky, they are well settled and they are constantly lucky.

And do not be afraid that by throwing away your torn hair, you will worsen the condition of the remaining strands, the quality of life.

Problems begin because of the stress to which you doom yourself, fearing to drop a hair in a public place full of envious people, calculating birds. It doesn't matter where to throw your hair, where to cut your hair. You can be happy without prejudice.

For your information: men who do not tend to worry about the place of hair release, are faced only with androgenetic alopecia, depending on hormones. He can handle it quickly. Women usually suffer from the development of diffuse alopecia.

The main reason for its development is nervous stress, strict diets. If the strands have already suffered from your suspiciousness, drink.

Less worries, diets and superstitions, more optimism, hair and vitamins.

You've probably heard the opinion of some people that if you cut your child's hair a year, it will certainly grow very thick and beautiful. Mom carefully preserves the trimmed strands of hair of the child in a secluded corner, as a family heirloom throughout life.

Hair magic

Everyone knows that hair protects our head from hypothermia, but only this function does it perform? Our ancestors believed in a certain sacred power of hair, they even perceived them as some kind of peculiar antenna, with the help of which it was possible to get in touch with the Divine mind. Since the times of Kievan Rus, hair has been a reflection of human wisdom.

It was in the hair, as our ancestors thought, that all human power was concentrated: both psychic and magical.

The biblical legend about Samson the hero, who, having lost his hair, was left without strength, also tells us about this. Possessing such knowledge, magicians and sorcerers, as well as priests, did not cut their hair, fearing to lose their connection with space forever, and together with hair and their abilities.

The word "hair" comes from the name of the ancient god Veles - the god of wisdom.

If a person completely lacked hair on his head, then this fact was regarded by many societies as obedience and obedience. In those distant times, people believed that if a person shaved his head, it means that he is subject to the influence of other people.

It is for this reason that all slaves were bald-headed. In modern society, there is a tradition of shaving the head of all conscripts in the army.

By the way, the requirement for women to appear in church exclusively with their heads covered is also explained by this reason. After all, people do not so easily fall under the influence of others and do not show complete obedience and humility. The challenge for the church was to find a way to suppress the power of women, hence the tradition.

The protective power of hair is also worth noting. By braiding their hair into braids, women thus made some kind of protection for themselves, since the braid was located along the spine, it affected the main chakras. And it is known that weaving is a talisman against all evil.

Unbraided loose hair has the ability to take away negative effects, for this reason women were forbidden to go out in this guise.

Information treasure

All information about a person is imprinted in his hair. Diseases, feelings, successes and failures leave their mark on every hair. Hair, as a tool for interacting with the human essence, is used by sorcerers. Many folk customs and beliefs are associated with caring for hair, cutting and storing hair.

In the folk tradition, hair cutting has always been associated with the entry of a person into a new life period. There are many tips on how to avoid hurting yourself by cutting your hair.

Fire, water or air?

In hairdressing salons, hair is usually swept away and thrown into the trash. And it is not known which element will take possession of them further.

• Water washing your cut hair will “wash away” your memory;
• The air, picking up small hairs, will make you frivolous and fickle, deprive you of strong alliances;
• The earth, if buried in hair, will "choke" you, causing headaches and migraines.

Ancient beliefs leave no choice when getting rid of hair. Only fire! A fireplace, a fire in the forest, an ordinary stove will help you destroy your hair so that nothing else will tie you to it. In the fire, both the hair itself and all the information charge stored by them will disappear without a trace. Radically and forever, you will part with your hair.

There is also a sign that promises the owner of burnt hair a victory over enemies.

And just one burnt strand will ignite extinguished feelings in a romantic couple. In addition, burning in a fire is of a ritual and even mystical nature, helping you to step into a new life cycle through purification.

Protect from evil people

Another reason why strangers should not be allowed to cut hair.

Agree, if you just throw away your curls, then malicious people can take away some of them to create some kind of dangerous thing. Hair is a biological material that carries a huge amount of information.

Damage of a different nature is often done on them. If you need a haircut, go only to the person you trust.

Disposal of hair from a hairdresser: methods and requirements

It's hard to imagine how much hair is waste every day in hairdressing salons and other establishments that operate the beauty industry. To avoid the improper disposal of biological waste, several laws have been enacted to regulate waste handling in hairdressing salons.

Proper disposal of biological waste from hairdressing salons is very important.

Human hair takes more than 50 years to decompose and this process is not accelerated by weather conditions. If all the hair people leave in salons were simply thrown away, it would greatly speed up the process of environmental pollution.

Once in a landfill in large quantities, the hair, using water and wind, will quickly spread throughout the landfill, mixing with other types of waste. This will complicate not only the subsequent disposal of the biological waste itself, but will also affect other recyclable materials.

Basic Law FZ No. 89 "On Production and Consumption Waste" prohibits owners of hair care establishments from arbitrarily throwing them away.

It is important in this context and Federal Law No. 52 "On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population." Thanks to these laws, the disposal of biowaste is strictly regulated, and violation of sanitary standards is punishable by a fine.

According to the official waste classification, human hair is classified as hazard class 4. This means that they are moderately harmful to the environment, although they are not directly dangerous.

Large accumulations of hair, which can only form with the filing of hairdressers and other establishments providing hair care services, lead to fire hazardous situations.

The presence of such accumulations in landfills increases the likelihood of ignition and the rapid spread of fire - in order to prevent this, special requirements are imposed on establishments that create such waste.

Fines for non-compliance

Both individuals (individual entrepreneurs) and legal entities in the form of firms are subject to punishment. Offenders are punished with fines and forced cessation of activities.

Moreover, the amounts and terms depend on the presence of a relapse, the person who is responsible, and the environmental situation in the area where the illegal disposal of biowaste was committed.

An individual entrepreneur will pay a fine of 1,000 rubles for such an offense, a legal entity can pay up to 20,000 rubles for neglecting environmental standards. Both will initially be issued a warning (if the release did not lead to a deterioration in the environmental situation or did not cause direct harm). The next time, the penalties already come into force.

If a second offense occurs after a fine, it is reapplied along with an official activity restriction (up to 3 months).

Measures in the form of a fine and suspension of work are administrative responsibility. In cases where the offense entailed adverse consequences for the environment, and even more so for the quality of life of the population in the region, criminal punishment is possible.

Possible irreversible consequences for the environment:

• the extinction of one or more animal species;
• the outbreak of a fire that harmed the population;
• the release of garbage provoked the resettlement of animals from their usual habitat, which means that it caused changes in the local ecosystem.

In this case, the fines increase regardless of the type of person in charge. For the harm caused to the inhabitants of the region, you will have to pay up to 200,000 rubles, and for irreversible damage to the flora and fauna - up to 300,000.

Disposal cost

The owner of the waste cannot independently dispose of large quantities of hair, since he does not hold a license for the corresponding activity. For legal disposal, you must contact the company that provides such services and conclude a contract.

The agreement with the waste disposal company has an expiration date. The owner of the hairdressing salon is obliged to complete the actions under the contract before six months have expired from the moment of its conclusion.

The price of such services varies greatly depending on the amount of material that needs to be destroyed. The amount of hair is measured in kilograms or tons if a large networker asks for help in disposal.

The cost can be as much as several thousand or several tens of thousands of rubles (approximately 3000-30,000).

Before direct removal, the hair is sorted and sorted for re-processing into wigs or similar products, if length and quality permits. This is beneficial for the buyer of recyclable materials and the owner of the waste - he will receive money for usable materials, as well as pay less for disposal.

The rest of the hair (too short, colored, uneven or not straight) can only be disposed of. The standard method is incineration in special industrial furnaces (metal-melting or microwave ovens).

At home, such disposal is impossible due to the large volume and lack of the necessary equipment.

If there is not enough hair, it is not necessary to purchase disposal services. A small amount of biowaste can be incinerated on your own (available only to an individual entrepreneur). In tax documents, you can indicate and justify this without falling under a fine.

How to dispose of your hair yourself

If a sole proprietor has a technique that can be used to burn quickly and safely, it can be used. Furnaces for heating living quarters, fireplace installations are all suitable.

In public areas, especially in natural areas (forests, parks, meadows), disposal can be started only if there is a container for ash (a simple bucket is also suitable).

In this container, the ash must be taken to the nearest municipal waste container.

Hair salon owners should familiarize themselves with all laws and regulations governing beauty services before starting their business. Thus, you can avoid fines and administrative liability for serious offenses.
