BEAUTIFUL HAIR – A NATURAL ADORNMENT

Visitors to oriental countries cannot help but notice the many, mainly young, Buddhist monks clad in orange robes and with their heads shaved. They are to be seen everywhere. Without even thinking you will compare them to the ordinary people with their beautiful dark hair. You will be convinced that hair is indeed an adornment. We in the West like blond, brown and black hair; even auburn or red hair can be very appealing. Women with auburn hair were considered especially beautiful in ancient Greece. But when we compare the thick bluish-black hair of the Indians in the Americas and India, and other peoples, it is not easy to say whether it is because of mere admiration or a little envy that we consider their bountiful hair so desirable. The inhabitants of those lands do not yet see any need to spend money on preserving their beautiful locks. Baldness is a peculiarity predominant among white people. It must be an acquired characteristic, for baldness simply cannot have been the Creator’s original purpose; it is presumably a consequence of civilisation.
