    Hair-care

    (Includes special characteristics of hair as per the spiritual level)

    Preface

    Nowadays, women do not take care of hair on the head in


    the true sense; they only pay attention to the prevalent fashion.
    ‘Fashion’ here means imitating the western women. Therefore, natural
    ingredients are not used in hair care since it is just as a matter of
    fashion. Women in our country use beauty aids brought from western
    countries.
    Today, the daily actions in respect of hair are not as per our
    religious scriptures. As a result, these actions tend to be against
    Āchārdharma (Code of righteous conduct). Consequently, the hair
    lack vitality, their growth stops and they fall due to insufficient energy
    in them. One common example of the trend about hair is that the
    women do not apply oil to their hair for many days.
    The objective of this Holy text is to bring to the notice of women
    the inappropriate acts in hair care, the effects of such acts at the gross
    and subtle level, to teach them how to take care of hair in the true
    sense and how to preserve its beauty. In short, the intention is to
    teach Āchārdharma as per the Bharatiya culture.
    This Holy text discusses the benefits of applying oil to the hair,
    effects of different oils, benefits of washing hair regularly, the days
    when hair should not be washed etc. In addition, information is also
    provided about the diet required to keep the hair healthy, the
    necessary exercises etc. This Holy text also provides guidance on
    how to avoid harmful acts related to hairand suggests appropriate acts
    of throwing away the fallen hair after two days, washing the hair with
    the help of Āyurvēdic substances or soaps instead of shampoo.
    Similarly, special characteristics of hair as per the spiritual level of the
    individual have also been elaborated.
    We pray at the Holy feet of Shrī Guru that may the readers get a
    spiritual perspective about hair, which are an integral part of the body
    of women and men and may they follow the
    conducts detailed in this Holy text. - Compiler
