Spiritual perspective on cutting hair

Nature has provided hair on the human body, not only to enhance the external beauty, but also to imbibe Chaitanya (Divine consciousness) and develop sāttviktā (Purity) in the jīva (Embodied soul). This Holy text elaborates aspects like taking appropriate diet, exercising etc. so as to keep the hair healthy, and also provides scientific analysis on how by imbibing Chaitanya through the medium of hair, a jīva is protected from the attacks of negative energies.
