Cutting your hair is also away of cutting away your memories. Your life, the things you eat, inhale, etc are held in your hair. When you cut it all off, you're cleansing yourself of the past.
Whenever I was in emotional tumult my hair was always the first thing to go. Once I shaved off 17 inches of beautiful long hair and took it down to a half of an inch. My husband was freaked! But it did make me feel like a monk and people dealt with me very differently. They were very open with me. It was cool and strange and an interesting thing to experience. It's back super long now and I wouldn't do that again. Now, when I get the urge to do something to it, I temper it. I wanted to blond in my hair earlier this year, so my compromise was to do it to just 3 sections and in the end, I hated it and was glad that I only did a small portion. Whew!
