Hair in a dream — haircut, hair loss, graying, an unusual hairstyle — is an image closely tied to identity and how the dreamer presents themselves to the world.

Hair is traditionally linked to vitality and identity — it is no coincidence that it is cut in rites of passage: entering monasticism, joining the army, or after a loss.
