Shocking Reasons Not To Comb Hair After Sunset
Indians grow up listening to and following various beliefs and superstitions. A lot of Indians have a set of beliefs and superstitions that are carried from generation to generation. Some are verified and have scientific reasons behind them, while others are merely myths which have been passed down through the oral traditions.
Though modernisation has taken over the country and the new generation seems to be untouched by the silly superstitious beliefs, there are still a few which prevail.
It does not matter whether you want to follow or not follow a particular superstition. But sometimes most of us cannot help but indulge in a few superstitious practices in our day-to-day life.
One such superstition is about hair. Often, mothers guide their daughters not to comb their hair after sunset. Women are also prevented from having their hair open after sunset. Similarly, there are many other superstitions related to hair which we keep coming across, every now and then.
10 POPULAR INDIAN SUPERSTITIONS
Let us have a look at these Indian superstitions about hair and why you should not comb your hair after sunset.
Combing
Hair
After
Sunset
It
is
advised
that
you
should
not
comb
your
hair
after
sunset
because
evil
spirits
venture
out
after
sunset.
It
is
the
time
they
are
more
powerful
and
it
is
believed
they
target
women
with
beautiful
and
long
hair
to
prey
on.
Letting
Hair
Loose
It
is
also
said
that
a
woman
should
not
let
her
hair
loose
and
keep
it
tied
in
a
tight
braid
after
sunset.
Also
while
offering
puja,
a
woman
should
never
let
her
hair
down.
It
is
seen
as
a
bad
omen
for
the
family.
Disposing
Fallen
Hair
Strands
Apart
from
combing
and
tying
the
hair,
there
are
also
certain
beliefs
about
disposing
off
your
fallen
hair.
It
is
said
that
you
must
carefully
dispose
off
your
fallen
hair
in
a
safe
place
because
if
it
falls
into
the
hands
of
the
wrong
person,
then
you
may
become
the
victim
of
hex.
Combing
Hair
On
Full
Moon
It
is
believed
that
if
you
comb
your
hair
by
the
window
on
a
full
moon
night,
then
you
give
an
open
invitation
to
the
evil
spirits
to
come
and
possess
you.
Washing
Hair
During
Menstruation
Another
superstition
goes
that
if
you
wash
your
hair
on
the
first
day
of
your
menstrual
cycle,
then
you
might
go
mad.
Also
washing
your
hair
at
night
during
a
menstrual
period
will
result
in
excessive
blood
loss
and
can
make
you
weak
and
sick.
Dropping
The
Comb
Another
belief
is
that
if
you
drop
your
comb
while
brushing
your
hair,
you
might
get
a
big
disappointing
news
soon.
Strands
Of
Hair
It
is
also
believed
that
one
must
never
leave
strands
of
hair
lying
around
the
house
as
it
causes
fights
and
arguments
between
family
members.
