The Power of Long Hair + Beards

Recommended Posts

I feel that long hair and a beard are right for me. I experience more than physical pain every time I shave. I recently cut the hair from my head and received compliments from a lot of people on my appearance, this motivated me to grow it right back out.

A guy I met said his teacher (a taoist and internal martial arts master) told him that they keep their hair long because it shows respect to your parents. They gave you the hair, so you show them respect by not cutting it. The bun on top of their heads I think was a way of connecting with heaven energies, and also it protected that spot from getting hit in a battle. But I heard a lot of conflicting stuff from Taoists on these sorts of things, so I take it all with a grain of salt.
