Hello,
I am currently growing my hair. Basically in my young 20's until recently (I am 31) I kept it short as a means of conformity/ fitting in, such as job security. But I realized I no longer care. I had recently grown it to shaggy lengths but trimmed it again. Now I have not trimmed it since July 2015 and plan to keep letting the hair grow out. This is not a question of should I grow my hair out or not. I know that it is time, and it has been growing.
When training for athletics I have noticed that cutting the hair short does work. for instance I had buzz-cut style hair when I ran boston marathon in 2009. it seems to get the male energy moving. however, there does seem to be a flaw to this. the power of a short hair style only goes so far. I have heard that one reason why military cadettes trim/ buzz their hair is because they are more easily controlled by their superior officers this way. I also realize that hair is an extension of our central nervous systems. growing one's hair out develops extra sensory perceptions. Here is a link to an article that covers this topic called "The Truth About Hair and why 'Indians' would Grow Their Hair Long":

So as you can see from the above article there are advantages to long hair. Using the biblical Sampson analogy was interesting- his hair gave him strength and when it was cut he was defeated.
I also seem to relate better to nature letting my hair grow out. For instance, if my hair was short I wonder if I still would have been able to erect a six foot standing stone on a hill-top ledge and build other stone structures such as the stone wall enclosure (I am actually still building that site up and have made a few changes and have built some new structures. For instance I opened up the "J" shape stone enclosure and linked it to another structure, a mini-chamber.) I also know that when going out to a site in nature, one should expose themselves to the elements, whether it be rain, sun or wind. And our bodies respond to this stimulus, and I think that the sensories in our hair can play a big role in this.
As the above article says, when hair is cut it "numbs out" our senses. To have true power one must grow their hair long. Of course there are a number of reasons to cut one's hair short too. Unfortuneatly most people in mainstream society think that long hair is rude and just don't get it. What do other people think? Anyone else with any experiences or insight into growing their hair long? Do you also feel that long hair gives you more power? do you athletically perform at a higher level with long hair? do you feel more ninja-like with long hair? (I know I do, this is a mistake I think I made when cutting my hair to conform to mainstream society- it just doesn't work and I can't express myself on that higher level as well). Please share your insights here.
I would also like to discuss Sylvester Stallone's Rambo movies, the fact that Rambo has long hair and wears a crystal necklace.
