Spiritual Hair Ceremony with Chand the Hair Priestess

Can a haircut be spiritual? Can the big chop help manifestation with every snip of the scissors releasing energy? In this episode, we find out how a hair ceremony ritual can not only refresh your look but also your mind and soul. On the eve of a lunar eclipse, come with host Nelufar Hedayat as she opens up her crown chakra with hair priestess Chand, a hairdresser of 25 years who performs a deeply intentional hair ceremony right in front of our eyes in this intuitive hair cutting ritual. Chand tells Nelufar that women who come to her Knightsbridge salon often get their hair cut to mark a milestone or a change. Chand has been honouring that, cutting hair in an intentional and ceremonial way. These holistic hair ceremonies approach cutting hair as a ritualised experience, and Chand incorporates herbs, crystals, astrology and sound elements and more than anything marks and honours the moment of potential emotion to help clients navigate major life transitions like grief, motherhood, or reinvention. Your hair is a partially crystalline structure that absorbs energy; cutting it can be a powerful act of spiritual release and healing. In a Ritually first, Chand performs a live hair ceremony on Nel, demonstrating the use of a 111Hz tuning fork to clear vibrations, intentional brushing, and ritual oils made from meadowfoam and cypress wood. We also dive into the ancient, global significance of hair. We explore how it connects to our identity and spirituality, discussing sacred traditions like uncut Kesh in Sikhism, Rastafarian locs, and Islamic practices regarding hair. And as ever, at the end of the episode, Nelufar goes back to her roots (see what we did there) as a journalist to reflect on the ritual...did it work or was it a bad hair day?
