Sure
have heard and seen ‘pathar marenge road pur log’
video ~ In olden days, traditionally,
women used to sport long hair; school girls would have double plait, a complex
pattern formed by intertwining three or more strands hair and wearing dhavani ~
half-sarees !!~ not any longer..!! ~ no point in discussing whether the hair
possesses natural fragrance… .. it perhaps not restricted to women alone. Slinga Malinga at various times sported
different hairdos. With ICC WC T20 about
to start, Star Sports features the Dhoni advt –
where hairstylist Sapna Bhavnani trying to convince Dhoni sport different
hairstyles – one of which makes Dhoni say, that people will throw stones ! Finally, Sapna comes up with the idea of
giving Dhoni the same look that he sported during India’s triumphant WT20
campaign in 2007 – the long-hair look.
Read
that even some competition horses are plaited, provided tail plaiting is both
permitted and appropriate for the horse breed. For some events, like stadium
jumping, hunting, and polo, tail plaiting is mandatory. On the other hand, for
some breeds, such as mountain and moorland pony breeds, the ponies should not
have their tails plaited for competition.
Though
uttered sometimes with disrespect – ‘hair’ is valued. In the upmarket central London salon Inanch,
a full head of Great Lengths extensions costs around £900, and lasts up to six
months. In many parts of the World, hair is more than just a symbol: it is big
business. From India to Peru, the human hair trade has spread across the globe,
and it has the UK in its grasp. Last year HM Revenue and Customs of UK recorded more than £38m worth of hair (human,
with some mixed human and animal) entering the country, making the UK the third
biggest importer of human hair in the world.
A
couple of months back, couple of incidents made the Lancaster County Sheriff's
Office investigate – it was the second
call of stolen horse hair. A homeowner at West Raymond Road told deputies someone had
cut off half of the tails of two of his horses. While most people worry about
being mugged for their phones or handbags, criminals in the Venezuelan city of
Maracaibo have their sights set on something a little more unusual, reported Venezuelan
digital newspaper Informe 21. According to news sources, a gang known as the 'piranhas'
is stealing women’s hair at gun point and then sell them to salons for use as
hair extensions. Robbers target women with long, straight hair
as this type is most in demand for extensions. They force the women tie their
hair into ponytails then hack them off.
If you thought Venezuela is bad – read this before making a
comment. Human hair worth around Rs 10
lakh was stolen from the premises of the famous Sri Varaha Lakshmi
NarasimhaSwamy Temple at Simhachalam, newspapers state.
Unidentified persons stole 10 bags of "special grade"
human hair valued at around Rs 10 lakh from the temple at Simhachalam, they
said. Preliminary probe suggests that
temple insiders may be involved, DCP (Zone-II) G Ram GopalNaik is quoted as
saying. Like the most sacred Thirumala, at Simhachalam too, devotees tonsure
their head and offer their hair. At
Simhachalam, staff of KeshKandanaSala
(tonsuring centre) of the temple collect the hair and segregate them as per
length and quality, which is then auctioned. The temple EO is quoted as saying 15 bags
containing "special grade" human hair were stored in a room near the
KeshKandanaSala of which 10 bags were stolen.
The thieves reportedly entered the store room of the temple, from the
terrace using a rope. They cut the grille door on the terrace to enter the
first floor and then unscrewed the pivot to gain entry into the store room,
temple sources said. On a complaint filed by the temple management, police
inspected the spot and are investigating.
