Re: Long hair means higher intuition?
I've always been super sensitive (I'm extremely empathic, amongst other things), and I've had hair that was long and hair that was short, have had a shaved head (I shaved it off for charity, but I know what you mean about the benefits of a shaved head), and now my hair is long again and has been for a couple of years. Mostly, I've worn it relatively short for much of my adult life, just because I like it that way (though I have gotten used to having it long now).
Is there a difference? I haven't noticed one. Other than practical considerations, I really don't sense any difference. What makes more of a difference is learning how to shield myself and shut out unwanted signals and vibes and whatever we want to call them. For example, I used to get extremely panicky in crowds; I later figured out that this was just all the other energies pressing in on me, competing for my attention, annoying me, whatever. Once I learned to shield, that problem went away completely. I'm pretty sure my hair had nothing to do with it, because it's long now and I can go into crowds without a problem.
Because I was genuinely curious about something after reading your question, I did a little bit of research and found a few pages I found very interesting. I'll pass them on now for anyone who wants to read them. Several are specifically European, but some mention Eastern traditions, as well. One theme I'm seeing in my reading is that shaving the head, whether partially or completely, is symbolic of giving up material things and turning, instead, to spiritual ones.

Anyway, there's lots more on the web, though some information is probably less credible than other information, as is always the case.
Thank you for the question. I'll probably keep looking into this for a while until I get enough information that I'm satisfied with it. I study history (as in, that's actually my academic field) and this sort of thing is exactly the kind of obscure information I love.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
