  1. We have been conditioned to think we need to find something to be unhappy about.

  2. There is a part during the process of becoming a nun, it takes years and several stages, but the hair is cut and it’s very transformative it’s a very physical sign of the change that is happening and that is emotional. It’s the second stage when the novice habit is given and the hair completely covered anyway. It’s meant to be a sacrifice and somewhat practical. It will grow back but not instantly. It’s not a reversible change like a garment. So it’s a can’t really turn back easily moment of the process. Then the hair is kept very short or shaved. If the full habit. It is because it used to be a married woman covered her hair and a nun is married to Jesus. To signify her status as not single. And to avoid vanity. And to protect her from being married off by a male relative running off to the convent and cutting hair you could not really pass for a single woman eligible for marriage if they came to force you into a marriage. In many traditions of Christianity women cover their hair for prayer. Or all the time. Or in certain places. Or only if married. Or only over a certain age. Muslims also have a hair coverings and rules about them. Who knew so many people all over thinks God cares so much about hair? But all three religions are connected so not really surprising. If I covered my hair except for my husband and did everything else would I be considered OTD? Is it when breaking custom or breaking Halacha that makes you OTD? Who’s tradition and halacha do you need to break to be OTD? Is going from Chabad to modern orthodox going OTC? My one grandma had very thin and sporadic hair like Pearl. Could cutting it for 400 years generation after generation effect hair?
