"Having long hair for a natives was for the
senses. Long hair acted as an extension
To the nervous system. The longer your
hair is the stronger your senses will be.
Warrior needed their senses for battle
and for the hunt. Women had long hair
so she can sense her families emotions
and keep her safe as well. Longer the
hair the more you should receive. I can
imagine this is why when we mourn we
cut off our hair. We cut off our senses to
the world so it can give us time to heal
our own hearts. Our people were such
geniuses." -Unknown
