Stworry about losing hair it’s not uncommon. Or there is also who, in sleep, fantastic to cut them: “Dreams never have a single interpretation and must be interpreted on the basis of the period in which we are living” explains the psychotherapist Maria Beatrice Toro, author of the book “4 Wounds – 4 Welfare Resources”a guide to understanding our weaknesses and transforming them into strengths.
Dreaming of losing your hair: the meaning
«Dreaming of losing hair is often a metaphor referring to a impoverishment of personality” emphasizes the expert. «This dream, moreover, is almost never linked to an economic crisis, rather it can represent a signal that suggests stopping to reflect on some situation, probably unsatisfying and exhausting, that you are living».
Dreaming of cutting hair may have, however, other meanings. «Cut them alone can have different nuances: from gesture of rebellionto norms or situations that are rejected, to the desire to self-affirmation, up to the intention of hiding dark aspects of one’s personality. It could also represent a surrender of one’s sensuality», underlines the psychotherapist.

Dreaming of losing hair or cutting it: what science says
Dreams are constantly the subject of analysis and insights. From a study by a group of psychologists and researchers of 2013, published on Journal of Sleep Research, it emerges that suppressing unwanted thoughts can lead to a greater presence of the disavowed wish within dreams.
This mechanism of the mind can be explained by “ironic control theory”, that suppressing certain issues that you don’t want to address could make them more persistent.
During the day you try to don’t think about the problem but… like a boomerang, it reappears in the dream world. Thus, if the dream of losing hair is associated with an abnormal fall, it is better to deal with the situation with the help of an expert.
The hair-routine if you notice an abnormal loss
What if the hair really falls out? Noticing an abnormal fall at this time of year is not accidental. «It could be a hair loss typical of the change of season. It’s true, we are in the middle of winter. However, let us remember that the high temperatures lasted until November,” he explains Marco Rizzi, Namu Hair hairstylist.
Losing hair is now completely normal, therefore, and to return to normality, pre-shampoo masks and antioxidant, stimulating and anti-hair loss serums are recommended. «The former rebalance, nourish and tone the hair bulb as well as softening the stiff and thickened scalp. The latter, on the other hand, bring the substances necessary to improve its anchoring to the skin to the roots of the stem».
Be careful when using the hair dryer, the temperature of which must be lukewarm in order not to affect the balance of skin and fiber. «In particular, I suggest accompanying the application of serums with a scalp massage. This practice is valuable for several reasons: reactivates micro-circulation and offers obvious benefits already after 30-40 days».
A nice strengthening cut
When the dream of cutting your hair coincides with the conscious desire to experiment with a new cut, the expert suggests proceeding with caution. «Before taking action, it is always advisable to think carefully, especially if one is thinking of drastic changes», explains Marco Rizzi. To avoid disappointment and misunderstanding, cut them first it is good to have one thing clear: you need a cutting expert.
«The professional must have an eye, dexterity and experience, because cutting hair is like sculpting a work of art. AND able to determine how to act because it takes into account multiple factors, which start from an understanding of the person’s character, the proportions of the face, the body and the style that the person has».
In conclusion, do not be afraid to dream of losing your hair or cutting it. Just stop for a moment and think.
