The formation of hair happens from the cells and tissues of epidermis of the human body. The hairs are senseless, but they are alive. The hairs obtain nutrition and other vital elements from the body. DNA print of the hair cell is similar to the other cells of the body. Thus it is evident that hairs are associated and alive with body. Forensic science says that hairs grow to some extent even after the death of a person. Increasing the hair even after death is an astonishing fact. Scientists explain this interesting incident by various ways, but it is an undisputed fact that the life exists in the hairs partially even after the death.
We will have to make out the process of origin and development of the man for knowing the existence and importance of hair in the body. Mostly the hairs exist in the body of all mammals. Human is also a mammal. Primitive man used to live in snow age. The earth was covered with snow in snow age and the temperature was less than zero degree and there was dearth of fields and vegetations. In such circumstances how the man existed on the earth, could easily be estimated.
The dense, long hairs of their body worked like a shield for safeguarding them from cold and moisture of snow age. The role of hair is very effective and important like a shield in the physical structure of mammals found in very cool places like north and south hemisphere, glacier, Gangotri, Mansarovar, Mount Everest etc. in the present time also. All the body of the snow age man was covered with long and dense hairs. The hairs are possessing huge heat. The wet hairs are easily made dry spontaneously. Dust, soil or any type of dirt do not make dirty them. The surface of the hairs is smooth, silky and soft, because of this it makes airproof cover of the body to keep safe from hot and moisture. Such characteristics of the hair helped and protected the development process of human at the adverse situation of snow age.
With due course of time the temperature of the surface of the earth was increased, the snow age ended and thereafter the age of the fields and plateau was commenced. The necessity of hairs started reducing due to increase of temperature and as per the change occurred in the environment; the density, length and area of the hairs was reduced in the body of the human. A lot of changes were occurred in the development process of culture and civilisation. The size and perspective of man were also changed and modified to great extent. The present perspective of the man is more developed and civilised than the snow age ancestors, but in view of biological structure, primitive snow age men even today exists in the modern men.
The hair of modern men is more beautiful, shiny, soft, thin, moist and flexible in comparison to ancestors’. Body of the modern man is not covered with dense hairs; on the contrary the entire body has been uncovered with hairs. The hairs exist only in specific parts of the body; most parts of the body have been hairless. The body of female is more hairless and sophisticated than male. As soon as the nature of man will become more sophisticated and sensitive, the structure of their hairs will also change. Presently, the presence of hairs in human body is as follows :
1. Hair of the head 2. Eyelashes 3. Eyebrows 4. Beard 5. Moustache 6. Pubic hair 8. Armpit hair 9. Chest hair 10. Spreading hairs 11. Cilia or Vibrissae
Hair of the ear
Hair of the head, eyelashes and eyebrows are approximately equally found in children, old persons, youngsters, male and female; but beard, moustache, pubic hair, vibrissae, hair of the ear, armpit and chest arise on being young due to hormonal change. Beards and moustache appear in the females due to dominance of male hormone. This characteristic is unusual and clinical. The females, in whom beard and moustache are appeared, have dominance of male characteristics and feature. Their voice, walking style, behaviour, perspective and development of genital organs and breast characteristics are as of men.
Likewise beard, moustache, chest hair, armpit hair and pubic hair do not rise in male due to dominance of female hormone and they are like a female by outlook, behaviour and nature. Their voice is soft, sex organs and other male characteristics are not also developed and such persons are like a female by nature and feature.
Curly and soft hairs spread over hands, legs, fingers, abdomen, back, chest are called spreading hairs. The entire body of some children is covered with spreading hairs, but later on they are fallen and the skin becomes clean. Spreading hairs are generally soft, thin and light in colour in comparison to hairs of the head. Instinct of the person can be known by the density, length and thickness of the spreading hairs. The person is laborious, fond of eating and luxurious, materialistic and practical due to abundance of such characters. They have lack of emotion, delicacy and arts. They have dominance of amorousness and also mental backwardness.
Entire body of undeveloped, uncivilised and brutal persons is covered with long, thick, dense spreading hairs. Monkeys and chimpanzees are their example. Their entire body is covered with spreading hairs. The body of birds and animals living on the ground are mostly covered with such spreading body hairs. The abundance and denseness of spreading hairs existed in human body is a sign of existence and dominance of primitive instincts.
Lessening of spreading hairs in the body, being their size small, their colour light and silky are the characteristics of easiness, sensitivity and emotion.
The hairs of the body can be divided into following categories on the basis of their quality and nature :
1. Straight
2. Frizzy
3. Branches
4. Wavy
5. Drab
6. Moist
7. Silky
8. Delicate
9. Thick
10. Thin
11. Spiral
Defective
The thoughts of the brain are expressed in the form of hairs. The characteristics, nature and human mind can easily be known by seeing the hairs. The persons having straight hair are outspoken, simple and open-hearted. Frizzy hair is a sign of ambiguity of mind, lack of ability in taking decision, recycling a matter continuously in the mind, impatience, shyness, unknown fear and instability.
Wavy hair is a kind of frizzy hair, but they are lengthy and are not annular like frizzy hair. The form of wavy hair is up and down like water waves. The persons having wavy hair are self-willed, short tempered, diligent, lustful, enjoying physical comforts, selfish, self-centred, fickle-minded, over conscious and changeable. Their mind is changed every moment. Drab hair is a sign of deficiency of nutrition, dearth of cleanliness and of normal or mean mental, intellectual capacity. The persons having drab hair are harsh, misarranged and less intellect.
Children have moist, soft and thin hairs. The mind of children is chaste, simple, emotional, innocent and pure. They possess high level sensibility and clairvoyance. The persons having moist, soft and thin hairs are simple and sophisticated like a child. Such persons are excellent artist, philosopher, sagacious, kind and full of generosity. The persons having thick hairs have abundance of life force, power of doing hard labour, endurance and patience. They are firm determined and fond of eating.
Defective hair is having branches, they are falling, grey coloured, lustreless, drab and of unnatural colour. Disease, malnutrition, genetic effect is the reason of the defected hairs. Baldness is a sign of progeria or before time oldness.
The structure and shape of spiral hair is found in the hair of some persons. They can not be combed in the desired direction. As per Indian belief clockwise spiral is supposed auspicious and anticlockwise is believed inauspicious; but any of these spiral in women is inauspicious. Anticlockwise in the women is supposed to be unfortunate.
The colour of hair is different due to variation of human races and genetic effect, in which character and nature of those species are inhered. Darkness of hairs represents abundant life force in the person, good health, zeal and diligence and light colour shows emotional development and sensibility of the person.
