Abstract	Hair has always been a highly potent metaphor in Indian Myths. Many things have been stated about hair; if we go back to the beginning of civilization on the Indian subcontinent, we ascertain that the Vedic texts, mythical tales, and legendary narratives all profoundly stressed on the symbolism of hair. The epic heroes of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as the Hindu avatars, share this trait. India has a long history of using hair to express ideas. In order to work on the same principle of manifestation of the hair, the paper considers the allegory of hair in Indian sacred texts. In these texts, the perpetual cycles of evolution, retrogression, and resting that underlie hair progression and detaching have been linked with the main source of women's power and danger.
