Hi, I cut my hair for the first time in almost four years yesterday. Normally Im the type to burn things that I feel ready to let go of but I have a feeling when it comes to hair its not the best idea. Im not sure why. What are your opinions on this?
Hooray for a fresh new hairdo, @sarah_poe- I bet it feels (and looks) great to have a new cut!

You can burn hair, but it’s terribly smelly and not pleasant at all (right up there with burning seaweed imo- stinky!
)
My first thought is always donating hair- do you think you have enough to send to a charity? If I remember right different charities/groups have different lengths they require. If you have enough, you could donate it to a good cause ![]()
If it’s not very much (or you don’t feel comfortable giving it away, which I can also understand) then you could leave it outside for the birds to take and make nests out of
or release into nature ![]()
Additionally, you could potentially keep some to use as a personal taglock in spellwork ![]()
I’m sure others will have some creative ideas and advice for hair disposal as well- I look forward to hearing what the coven has to offer! ![]()
Blessed be! ![]()
Thanks, its pretty good, I cut my hair myself for the first time. Im mostly excited about that.
I actually decided to stop cutting my hair out of solidarity and to show my respect for Indigenous Native Americans.
Alright thats good to know, I always wonder about how “good” it is to burn things that your own body created and if it would harm yourself somehow.

I dont believe in giving any of my body parts to anyone else but myself and it wouldn’t have been long enough anyways ![]()
I think Ill have a look into the tag locks thing, thats pretty much what I was looking for but didn’t have a name for it.
Thanks for your answer, always appreciated.

Congrats on your first self-cut! It sounds like it went much better than my first self-cut (I was a kid with scissors and a vision that my chubby little hands couldn’t keep up with. The results were disastrous and I had nightmare bangs for weeks
) haha
Awesome! I’m happy if I could help you towards what you were seeking
Wishing you all the best with your taglock studies and I hope you can find some good ways to put your hair clippings to use.
Good luck and blessed be, Sarah! ![]()
