“To know where you are going, you must know where you come from.”

Hair has been considered a spiritual and symbolic aspect in many cultures for thousands of years. It is often seen as a representation of one's identity, cultural heritage, and even one's spiritual beliefs. Here are a few reasons why hair is considered spiritual in many cultures:

1. Symbolism of power and strength: In some cultures, hair is seen as a symbol of power and strength. For instance, Native Americans believed that hair represents a person's spiritual power and connection to the divine. They believed that hair acted as an antenna that could help them communicate with the spiritual world.

2. Connection to the divine: In many cultures, hair is seen as a way to connect with the divine. For instance, in Hinduism, the god Shiva is depicted with long hair, which represents his connection to the divine.

3. Symbol of purity: In some cultures, long and healthy hair is seen as a symbol of purity. For instance, in Sikhism, uncut hair is seen as a symbol of purity and is a way to show respect for the body that was given to us by the divine.

4. Symbol of rebellion: In some cultures, long hair or dreadlocks are seen as a symbol of rebellion against the norms of society. For instance, Rastafarians grow their hair into negatively known as dreadlocks as a way to show their rejection of Western society and to connect with their African roots. When in fact. The culture of spirituality has been upheld.

Overall, hair is seen as a spiritual aspect in many cultures because it is often linked to one's identity, cultural heritage, and connection to the divine.

It then would make sense why so much effort was made in the reprogramming during the illegal slave trade, why many individuals have had shame for their natural hair by wearing processed hair and or chemical altering products. The history of the illegal slave trade and colonization has played a significant role in the shame and rejection of natural hair in many cultures. During slavery, African slaves were forced to cut their hair as a way to strip them of their identity and culture. They were forced to adopt European hairstyles and to reject their African roots. This legacy has continued, and many individuals of African descent have felt the pressure to conform to Western beauty standards, which often require the alteration of natural hair. The natural hair movement seeks to reclaim the cultural heritage and identity associated with natural hair and to challenge the norms of society that have rejected it for so long.
