Hair of the Head شعر الرأس

In a dream it is wealth and long life. Whoever sees that the hair of his head grew long, his life will be long. If he sees a mass of hair on his head and that he joined it with other hair: if he is rich, his wealth will increase and multiply, and he will borrow money and trade with it; if he is poor, debt has piled up on him and he will borrow on behalf of others. If he sees that his hair is straight or curly, he will gain eminence and honor. If he sees that his straight hair turned curly, he will be lowered and become less than he was. If he sees his curly hair become straight, long and scattered, his chief's wealth will be scattered; if it is soft and smooth, his chief will make it grow. It is also said that a mass of hair, for those who bear arms, is another protection with which they shield themselves and for which they are feared; if he is not of those who bear arms and he is rich, it is his wealth, and if he is poor, it is the debts he owes. If he sees his hair curly, his chief will obtain lordship and honor and his affairs will come together for him. Whoever sees that he has long hair and is pleased with it, that is praiseworthy, especially for women, for they use the hair of others for adornment.
