Short hair imposed on men to reduce their antennae in an attempt to control contact ?

[Diana]

I have almost always had long hair. But once, when I moved to Arizona from NY, I ended up cutting my hair short. It was awful. It wasn't that it looked bad, it was more like there was something essential missing. And this, of course, could certainly be taken literally. However, the following couple of years my life I did things unlike me—things that were more conventional—(which could also be interpreted as me having made a drastic change in environment).

The bottom line is, yes, my feeling at the time was an intuition that some "power" was lost when my hair was gone. I knew nothing of any new age concepts then, or philosophies about hair being more than it was.

There was another incident when I was 5 years old. I had extremely long hair for my age. My mother had it cut into a "pixie" cut. I remember I hated the cut, and felt something was missing. Once again this could be interpreted literally, but I feel it was more than that.

As to it aligning with keeping men detuned from intuition, it fits. Also of interest is the 60's revolution, which broke open paradigms and instigated great change, and love was a cornerstone (make love, not war). The men, of course, all grew their hair long, as well as the women.
