Huh, could be true, could be internet BS. I have long curly hair, have all my life, and I know I can out track most of my friends.
I'm also better at staying hidden in the bush. I've always thought it was because I'll shake my head and generally mess up my long hair (remember, it's VERY curly) and this helped to break up the silhouette of my head.

Not long ago I read a story where a man's long beard saved his life. He was walking alone on a frozen lake and fell through the ice. He struggled to get out but could not. He clung to the edge of the ice and yelled for help. After several minutes he succumbed to hypothermia.
At this point, most people sink into the water and perish. But, in this case, the man's beard froze to the edge of the ice which kept his head above the water even though he was unconscious.
He was found. He was still breathing, had a weak heartbeat and a low body core temp. His beard saved his life!

Interesting article, maybe my knee length hair is where I get my crazy super senses from, lol.
My hair saved me from a nasty fall once, We were standing on a footbridge over a very rocky creek when a group of teens decided to run past us and shove and horseplay at the same time. Hubby and I were near the end of the bridge where the railing was sloping downward, over I went. Hubby and kids grabbed for me, DD who was only 5 got my hand but DH and DS got handfuls of my hair. I had a headache for a couple of weeks and lost a few strands but overall I was ok. DH chased the teens down and chewed them out real good!
My hair is waist length, but I have to say, if TEOTWAWI ended up being a zombie apocalypse, I think Id cut it some...too easy to get grabbed by the hair when you are running away
Of course, I might be watching too much Walking Dead

It's a good story---that's about it far as I'm concerned.
Ask any of the tribes that kept their hair skin tight, cept for a top knot. I'm sure they would allow as they were good enough at tracking. (see pawnee, shawnee or delaware for ex.)

Reason: forgot
Hmmm. I guess it's possible, but I think it is also possible that the hair thing with the Indians might have much to do with those who were more tuned in to their native culture and hunting ways and were also more likely to keep their hair in the native style. Regarding cutting it, if you're used to long, then sure, it throws you off to suddenly go to short.
Regarding the Bible, don't forget about Absalom, King David's son. He was in the middle of a war against his father, but his hair stuck in a tree while riding under. The mount continued on and he was left there, swinging in the breeze. The opposition was unable to refrain from taking advantage of such a situation and quickly dispatched him.
What about icky things like lice? I would think that it would be easier to keep them out of short hair rather than long hair. So that would also be relevant in a SHTF situation. Not to mention the rather convenient "handle" hair makes for an attacker. And as you control the head, so goes the body.
Interesting topic. I might let my hair grow a bit and see if I feel more dialed in!

I believe there is power in hair, that it acts as an antennae to the brain and spinal cord, to the central nervous system. I believe it makes us more conscious to our environment both physically and psychically and that the longer the hair grows the more sensitive, wiser, compassionate and understanding we become.
I also believe that the ends of the hair can absorb both positive and negative energies, and that one of the ways to relieve miseries and unfortunate circumstances is to cut off the length of the hair that corresponds to the length of time in which the unfortunate circumstances have occurred. So for example, if you have had 6 months of very unfortunate circumstances you can cut off 3 inches of your hair and it will bring you some relief and possible beneficial changes in fortune.
So if things are going good for you, don't cut off your hair and you will continue to store up beneficial properties in your hair. If things are going bad for you, cut off the length of hair that corresponds to the bad times and start over again.
There are many cultures whose mythologies and belief systems going back thousands of years also believe there is power and sensitivity imbued in the hair. Some myths, legends, history and trivia from around the world about the importance of hair. http://www.crystalinks.com/hair.html
Dont know about strength or being able to track better, but about 10 years ago I decided to grow my hair and beard long to see what I'd look like. Being of the husky type man with long hair and a long beard, seemed the women were eyeing me a lot and more talkative to me. My wife noticed too and made me cut it all off, back to normal.
Now days I'm almost completely grey headed and grey bearded. So I don't know if the women would be so friendly anymore if I grew my hair long.
The hypothosis works for me. I have one heck of an early warning Jerk Alert!
God made us in His image. Everything about us has a purpose, there are no reasons but vanity for alterations.
My hair has gone through many changes all on its own, but I've never cut the length. The last changes were crazy. Now I walk around with crazy curls poking out everywhere like antenae. I refuse to put hair taming products on it. If hair is dead, why can I feel that crap messing with me?

My hair is longer and I usually have a full beard. Makes me look about 10 years older. If I want to look younger I shave and get a haircut. Not many times I really care what age I look.
