Hair is vitality, beauty, freedom and strength, as in the story of Samson. Cutting it can mean a new beginning or a loss of power.
When the dream feels light
Long, beautiful hair speaks of health, vitality and confidence.
When the dream feels dark
Hair falling out or being cut against your will points to fear of losing strength, attractiveness or freedom.
Ask yourself
What does my strength depend on?

The card of this dream
Strength. The gentle strength that tames the beast without breaking it. Strength shows a woman gently closing the jaws of a lion, the sign of infinity above her head. It is the strength of the heart, not of force: patience, compassion and courage that tame the wild, both outside and within.
