| Hair |
.... There are a number of superstitions associated with hair. To begin with, the color of hair is said be a indicator the character of a person. .. A red haired person is believed to have an irascible temper, a person with fair hair being a sign of weak nature, while black hair has the belief of strength and virility, same is said to be true for brown hair.... Blonde hair though was thought to show that a person was less smart than their darker hair counter part, because people believe that the brain was not getting enough blood to the head and thus why the hair was blonde. |
..... What ever the hair color, it remains unwise to pluck out any old gray hairs that appear, as it is said that ten more will grow to replace the one plucked. .. People with straight hair are said to be cunning, while people with curly hair are of good nature. |
| .... A woman's hair that grows into a point on her forehead is said to have a widow's peak, an ill omen that she is destined to become a widow at a early age. |
