Hair in a dream
In folk belief, hair in a dream stands for strength, beauty and the thoughts swarming in your head.
Folk dream books tie hair to strength, beauty and pride. Long, thick hair is read as progress and self-confidence, tangled hair as thoughts that need combing out. A haircut is usually understood as a wish for change and for shedding a load, not as a loss. A dream about hair is believed to speak of how you feel in your own skin – and to encourage you to show it.

By tradition, long hair means strength, patience and fine progress. It is believed your plans are growing slowly but surely.
Dreaming of cutting your hair short
This is read as a decision to leave something old behind you. People say everything somehow feels lighter afterward.
Dreaming of your hair falling out
The gentle folk reading speaks of worry and tiredness, not of loss. The dream reminds you to take a breather and fret a little less.
Dreaming of combing your hair
In folk belief, you are putting your thoughts and duties in order. Easy combing means a tangled matter will quickly come undone.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
