Hair ... Why do people need them? Is it only for beauty and protection of the head and brain from sunburn and low temperatures? Not only, everything is a little deeper ...
Each organ has its own specific purpose, extremely clearly indicated by nature, and we do not think why, for example, we were given eyes. Of course, to see. But not only for this…. If you think deeply, eyes are the doors to our inner world, path to the soul. It is no coincidence that the eyes are called the mirror of the soul.
But today let's talk about another part of our body - hair, their hidden function.
The nature of the human essence is amazingly deep, it is not fully known by us, or, perhaps, forgotten, like other information that our ancient ancestors owned. So why does a person need hair?
The biological role of hair
Hair protects the head, and at the same time everything inside it from solar and thermal overheating and low temperatures. Air lingers in the hair, which acts as a heat insulator. How vulnerable our head is, I think, there is no need to say, and the hair just softens the blows, accidental mechanical impacts.
body hair protect against insect bites, collect droplets of sweat, retain heat. In addition, body hair is most likely a genetic heritage inherited from our ancestors, which once performed the function of warming.
nose hair- a barrier to viruses, bacteria, infections, dust particles and excess forming fluid in the nose.
facial hair: eyebrows, eyelashes, mustaches, beards also fulfill their role. Eyelashes prevent dust, debris, foreign particles from getting into the eyes, eyebrows - absorb sweat from the forehead. Mustache and beard? The same functions of heat transfer, protection, but not only. But more on that later…
And finally, hair is our beauty. They emphasize the physical virtues of a person, his individuality, uniqueness, help to complement and diversify the image.
Everything is clear with the biological functions of hair. But it turns out that hair has other functions that our ancestors knew about.
Antenna hair
Have you ever wondered why in many cultures it is customary for men to shave off their hair, for some to leave only a small strand, and there are those where the hair is not cut at all and it grows up to a meter?
The thing is that hair is a kind of "antenna" that receives part of the information from space and directs it to the brain. And not only the hair on the head, but also the male facial hair performs the same functions. It has been proven that the Kirlian effect is applicable to hair - a static discharge observed on biological objects and they are involved in the transmission of information.
For this reason, the fact that wise men, clergymen and even some bloggers have beards and mustaches becomes clear :-). Like antennas, they pick up an information message from the Cosmos, from the Universe, receiving knowledge from the universal portal of the mind and sharing it with us.
Think about how similar the words "cosmos" and "cosmos" sound. Is it not the same nature of their origin?
Buddhist monks, striving in their minds for an internal shutdown, shave off all the hair on their heads, thereby emphasizing the rejection of personal material wealth.
And leaving a strand of hair on top, some representatives of confessions identify themselves as a conductor of the will of the Almighty, a bearer of his ideas.
Recruits arriving at the duty station are shaved bald. Why do you think? For hygiene purposes? To some extent yes! But after all, then it is allowed to grow hair. Most likely, this action breaks the thread connecting the young man with his home. So faster the kid will turn into a real soldier.
Hair is the repository of memory
How about this? Yes, that's right, memory not only accumulates in the corners of the brain, but also focuses on the hair.
So God Svarog (the Supreme Heavenly God of the Slavs) gives the commandment:
“Do not cut your blond hair, your hair is different, but with gray hair, for you will not comprehend the Wisdom of God and you will lose your health.”
This is why children under the age of 12 did not have their hair cut at all. Therefore, where does the belief that has come from in the year to cut the hair of babies come from - complete nonsense. After all, it is at this time that the child learns the essence of what is happening around and his hair is of great help to him.
Hair is an accumulator
Long hair accumulates vital energy, accumulating it, helps in different life situations to comprehend the depth and wisdom of life. It turns out that the longer the hair, the more energy a person is able to get?
It has been scientifically, experimentally established that hair is an extension of nervous system.
Hair supports in a person psychic energy, stimulate thinking and purify awareness,
Hair gives a person special abilities called magical especially for those who are prone to it. The longer the hair, the more power a person gets.
Male and female hair
Women have longer hair and no one will dispute her wisdom. What about men? By shaving his face every morning, does a man deprive himself of some connection with a higher mind? I think it is!
The fact is that a man has the energy of Mars; short hair only strengthens it. The stiffness of short male hair gives him determination, courage and courage, makes his mind sharp and improves logic.
A woman is under the influence of Venus, long hair contributes to the growth of her femininity, softness, sensuality.
The long hair of a woman is a guarantee of calmness, balance, harmony. Short men's hair is the complete opposite. If a man begins to grow long hair, he acquires wisdom, but ... loses masculine qualities - purposefulness, determination, high responsibility for the fate of loved ones.
From time immemorial, a woman has been growing her hair all her life, accumulating feminine power in them, only periodically trimming the ends, thereby cutting off negative energy. After all, this is understandable, not only good energy accumulates on the hair, but also bad energy.
That is why today, after a haircut, we experience lightness and a surge of strength. This released energy from the hair is absorbed by the body and soul. Therefore, it is good to comb your hair as often as possible, carrying out energetic cleansing of your entire self.
Women's braid is a symbol of femininity. Historically, hair care for the weaker sex resulted in a sacred ritual: washing, styling, weaving ribbons into braids.
A Slavic woman did not appear in public without a scarf or kokoshnik, keeping her chastity. Remember the expression "goofed up"? This is just about the delicate situation in which a woman fell if she was caught with an uncovered, “simple” head.
And only the only man - the husband could see their beauty, touch, stroke their hair and admire them. Dissolving them, the woman, as it were, invited the man to intimacy.
That is why today, when entering a church, a woman must wear a headscarf. In other traditions and religions, this is even stricter.
Of course, no one calls today to put on scarves, hats, kokoshniks. Funny. But maybe it’s worth at least pinning up long hair, removing it up, in everyday life, for example, in transport, at work.
And weave braids. After all, it is so touching, so touching, and so in our way, in Russian.
Women's hair is a source of attraction
A rare man will prefer a short haircut to long hair of his beloved. So according to statistics, the stronger sex appreciates long hair in a woman and puts it in third place in importance after the figure and eyes.
And it is a pity that the present time dictates its own conditions and requirements for the length of women's hair, and not every woman can boast of the natural wealth of hair. Therefore, the braid is increasingly becoming the lot of only young girls.
Girls, having long hair, let them down unnecessarily, forgetting or not even knowing that their inner potential is spent in this way, female energy goes nowhere. Perhaps hence the problems with the reproductive organs, women's diseases and the inability to conceive and bear a child. At the dawn of life, lovely ladies lose all their deep feminine essence, succumbing to fashion and an easy, sometimes thoughtless lifestyle.
And in the old days, a woman with loose hair was considered fallen, classified as unworthy.
According to the Vedas, the piety of her husband is stored in the hair of a woman. And if a woman cuts them, she shortens the life of her man by ten years.
Women, isn't that why men live less than us? Let's give up short haircuts, at least those to whom this is given by nature, let's extend the life of our husbands. And at the same time we will develop our feminine wisdom and femininity, keeping the peace and tranquility of the family hearth.
Indeed, in fact, everything is so: in their youth, most girls have long hair, then they are increasingly shortened and the ladies involuntarily become masculine, taking the brunt of family problems on themselves. And they complain about why.
- On average, there are 50,000 to 100,000 hairs on the head of an adult.
- For a month, hair grows from 5 to 15 mm,
- Not all hair on the head is alive, about one-fourth of them are dead and they are just waiting for the moment when the hair follicle pushes them out. And new ones grow in their place.
- Each hair has an average lifespan of 2 - 4 years. Men's hair grows a little slower and lives less than women's.
- It has been known since ancient times that hair is best for growth cut for new moon. Moreover, a specific measure was indicated - a “nail” of 1.11125 cm.
- And they began to cut their hair in Russia with the adoption of Christianity. And then Peter I ordered to cut beards. They say that Peter himself did not grow hair on his face. So let no one grow!
- Cut hair is not thrown away, it should be swept up, collected and burned. As a last resort, wrap it in a bag of garbage, in the hope that all our garbage is burned.
That's all for today. Were you interested? Although I understand that things from the subtle world are not always understood by materialists. So I admit not accepting the material and even objections. Speak out to the fullest! .
And take care of your hair, take care of it! May they be healthy, beautiful and delight you at all times.
Three million years ago, the human body was covered with a thick layer of hair. Protection from hypothermia, prevention of skin injuries and disguise from predators, allowed our ancestors to survive very harsh times. Time passed, and evolution did its job - people pretty much changed their appearance, and why a person has hair in modern realities, few people understand.
From primitive Homo sapiens to modern man, or why people began to go bald?
Relating to the order of primates, the body of people, like most mammals, had a dense hairline. The beginning of the Pliocene era was characterized by a change in the Earth's climate - territories covered with ice, closer to the equator, turned into hot tropics. Scientists have called this period of time the period of the "Great Migration".
What happened next? Tribes of primitive people began to develop new, warmer territories. Thick bristles became an unbearable burden for our ancestors:
In the period from 3 to 2.7 million years BC. the physical structure of Homo sapiens is gradually transformed: the lower limbs lengthen, a confident gait appears, the hairline alternates with areas of "naked" skin.
Why armpit hair?
Hair in the armpits is a sign of a person's puberty. Despite the fact that this part is almost invisible to outsiders, the hair in this area still has a certain function:
- lymph nodes. The ultraviolet radiation of the sun on the lymph nodes can cause serious diseases. In this regard, a person with weak immunity faces a dilemma - to shave his armpits on the eve of a trip to the sea, or to be present on a beach with dense "vegetation";
- Pheromones. Under the armpits are glands that produce a special substance - pheromones. Smelling the opposite sex, people subconsciously feel that there is a person standing in front of them with whom they would not mind spending time. The function of the hair, which is in that place in a wet state, is aimed at enhancing the smell of its own pheromones.
In fact, nature overly cares about us. A bottle of pheromones can now be purchased at the nearest boutique, and having wet and tangled hair with a smell under your hands is very not hygienic.
In this video, Kirill Matveev will explain why people need underarm hair, what is their function:
Why does a man have hair on his legs
Hair on the legs is a special pride for men, and a horror for women. There are at least three reasons why, after going through such a long period, evolution did not deprive us of this short vegetation:
- Biological sensors. Being in the fresh air, you can feel what is happening on our skin. For example, a malicious tick jumped on your leg! A person can sense movement in a millisecond. Moreover - the hair, it is they, and not rough skin, that will transmit to the brain the exact coordinates of the location of the insect;
- Body thermoregulation. In winter, the vegetation on the legs retains heat, in summer it fights against overheating of the body. In addition, the hairs help to scatter the sun's rays;
- Testosterone. The presence of an abundant cover on a man's leg is a sign of strength and self-confidence. Responsible for this indicator is a special hormone - testosterone. The females of ancient people, thus, chose a partner for copulation.
Housing saves us from the weather, we wear warm clothes, and when choosing a sexual partner, a woman does not look at her feet, but at the presence of a hard purse in her chosen one. But, nevertheless, it will take millions of years of transformation of the human body before we are left with bare feet.
Why nose hair?
Air enters the lungs and oxygenates the entire body. The first redoubt that worries about the quality of the inhaled atmosphere is the cilia of the nose.
Main functions these small but very important hairs:
- Purification of air from dust particles;
- Stopping viruses, bacteria, microbes;
- Reduced exposure to toxic substances;
- Slight heating of the air in the cold season.
How it works:
Now think about whether it is worth pulling out these cilia with tweezers?
It has been scientifically proven that a person who constantly removes hair from the nasal cavity can easily develop fungal diseases or asthma. Doctors recommend not to pluck the cilia, but to trim them slightly with nail scissors.
Why is there hair on the butt?
Scientists have not conducted scientific research in this area, and one can only guess why hair is present near the anus of a person. Nature's mistake? Doubtful.
Let's start from that why did our ancestors need them and why we have inherited:
- Ancient people. Hair was everywhere, including on the buttocks and in the middle of the priests. In the first case, thick wool made it possible to sit comfortably, for example, on a stone. In the second - excellent protection against cold air;
- Modern people. What has changed now is that clothes have appeared, and we are not sitting on trees or rocks, but on comfortable furniture. Why does a modern person have a small fluff in the pope? The fact is that the ancients did not walk straight, but slightly bent forward. Now, having a straight posture, the buttocks are tightly closed together, and in the process of walking friction occurs - the skin turns red and burns. Hair, acting as a natural lining, this disadvantage is leveled.
Finally, it is worth noting that the "vegetation" on the buttocks and near the anus, mainly grows in men. Their main function is preventing buttocks from rubbing against each other when walking.
All about hair: interesting facts
Do you know that:
- In a month, hair can grow by 1.5-1.7 cm. There is no maximum length for strands - curls grow until the hair root dies;
- The structure of the curls on the head is determined by the genes. In some they are straight and black, in others they are curly and have a light shade;
- More than 150 hairs fall from a person's head every day. Their life period is different: some can grow 3 months, others 3 years;
- Hair thickness ranges from 60 to 90 microns;
- Mustaches may grow in women with elevated testosterone levels;
- Hair growing on the toes indicates excellent blood circulation;
- There are three types of hair: cannon(arms, legs and torso) bristly(nostrils, eyelashes and eyebrows), long(head and chest).
People care about the curls of the head, and allow the presence of eyebrows and eyelashes, but why a person needs hair in other parts of the body, they do not understand. Nature can answer all questions: the cilia of the nasal cavity protect the body from diseases, the vegetation under the armpits “looks” for a sexual partner for us, and the hair growing in the anus prevents irritation between the buttocks.
Video study: why do people need hair?
In this video, researcher Eduard Somov will tell you why a person needs hair and on what parts of the body they do not grow:
Skin structure
hair structure
I am a redhead. What color do you have? Have you ever wondered what determines the color of a person's hair and why some people have straight hair, while others have curly hair? Let's figure this out together.
Every part of our body, with the exception of the lips, palms of the hands and surfaces of the feet, is covered with hair.
The skin of an adult is covered by about 5 million hairs. The gorilla has about the same amount, only we have them much thinner and shorter.
I really like it when girls have long pigtails. But it turns out that body hair grows not only for beauty.
For example, the hair on the head is designed to protect us from both overheating and hypothermia. A layer of air is created between the hairs, which helps to keep both warm and cold. Small fluffy hair covering our entire body helps the body to better feel the world around us - they participate in the processes of touch. Eyelashes and special hairs protect the eyes, ears, and nose from dust.
When a person is cold or frightened, the hairs on his body "stand on end" - this is a legacy of those times when the hairline was more developed. After all, when the hairs of animals rise in frost, the wool becomes warmer, and fluffing the wool in front of the enemy, the beast seems a little larger!
hair structure
Each hair consists of a shaft that protrudes above the surface of the skin, a root, a hidden and hair follicle from which it grows, and a bulb in its expanded part. Under the bulb is the source of life of the hair - a small papilla penetrated by nerves and blood vessels. This papilla nourishes and maintains the life of the hair.
Hair color
The color of our hair depends on the content of special pigments in them - melanins. There are two such pigments in the hair: one - pheomelanin, gives the hair a yellowish-red tint, and the second - eumelanin, gives a dark shade. If there is little melanin in the hair, the hair will be light, black-haired people will have a high content of eumelanin, and redheads like me will have a lot of pheomelanin in their hair! In older people, the hair turns gray, as the amount of melanins in them decreases with age.
Interestingly, the amount of hair on the head depends on their color. Blondes have about 130,000 of them, fair-haired have about 110,000, and redheads have about 90,000. Older people usually have less hair on their heads than younger people.
Why is hair curly?
Whether your hair is straight or curly depends on the shape of the hair shaft. The rod, round in section, forms straight hair, oval - wavy. Strongly curly hair is obtained with a bean-shaped shaft. Moist air can cause hair to frizz, as water penetrates the hair and changes the structure of its shaft. .
On your chest, legs, armpits and ... in other places grow, as it is fashionable to say, "unwanted" hair? Body hair is considered repulsive in some cultures, although many men and women find it attractive. As they say, the taste and color. But is there any health benefit from this vegetation?
1. Hair on the skin helps it heal faster.
According to Bradford University professor Des Tobin, hair follicles are filled with stem cells, which greatly speed up and improve the healing process.
2. Hair on your toes indicates good circulation.
Hair on the toes is not considered a point of pride, but according to vascular surgeon Konstantinos Kyriakides, they indicate good blood circulation in the legs. But if you have bare legs, do not rush to worry: only the recent "baldness" of the toes speaks of impaired blood circulation.
3. Armpit hair is attractive to the opposite sex.
This statement has a lot of people who disagree, but in reality, the hair growing under the armpits accumulates smells that attract potential partners - pheromones. This "aroma" is released under the armpits during sexual arousal or when ready for sexual contact.
Why do we need hair
Although people look naked enough without clothes, we actually have the same number of hair follicles as primates. It is not known why most of this hair is practically invisible, but it is known why we need hair that grows "lush color".
Head. Hair on the head protects it and retains heat. Eyebrows protect the eyes from sweat dripping from the forehead, and they are also very effective in non-verbal communication. Our eyelashes are like cat whiskers, very sensitive to touch.
Body. Body hair, scientists authoritatively say, we need it because it is attractive. They are meant to attract a mate as they indicate puberty. This is especially true of pubic hair, so sex hormones make it frizzy and especially coarse.
And a little about the length ...
Have you ever wondered why body hair doesn't keep growing in the same way as head hair? It's all about the growth cycles that program the hair to grow for only a certain amount of time and then fall out. And although body hair can only grow to a certain length, sexual anticipation in men can accelerate hair growth.
