Oiled long Cobra briad made by mother today


Hello friends, I am Priyamvad a long hair man from India. I have waist length hair.

Today is Ramadan Eid. Happy Eid to my Muslim friends and blog visitors. Today is public holiday. I didn't go to office today.

I woke up late. I decided to wash my hair today. My mother asked me to wash hair with Shikekai powder. She hates shampoos and conditions which contain harmful chemicals.

I washed hair with homemade shikekai powder and after elaborate bath, I rolled my hair in towel topknot to dry.

After drying my hair, my mom came with a bottle of Parachute coconut oil and asked me to sit on floor. She poured coconut oil on my scalp and started applying coconut oil to other portion of hair. After applying lots of oil, she started combing my hair with a wide tooth comb and removed tangles and dreadlock if any. Then she took a fine-tooth comb and again neatly brushed my hair backword.

My mom suggested to sport hair today in single braid since I don't have to go to office.

Then she made a nice tight braid of my hair.

My braid is just looking like a black cobra.

I love my long hair and I will continue to grow them.

I have a Sikh girlfriend who encourages me to grow hair like Sikh men.

I am growing hair because my spiritual master asked me to take vow not to cut hair and I have been growing since last 7 years.

Regular hair oiling by my mother and sister made my hair strong, shiny and long. Thanks

Step 5
Now mother is all set to tie son's hair in a topknot (Juda). She has combed hair once again and see difference between first photo frizzy hair versus well oiled slick hair combed forward.
Son has bowed in front of mother which is mark of respect to mother and divine Kesh (Hair)
Priyamvad 6
Step 6
Sikh mother has started braiding son's long hair. Braiding will keep his hair secured and manageable.
Since son has long hair, his brais will be like a long thick rope.

Mother is almost done with braiding. Last few inches of hair length remaining.
Look at well oiled neat long hair braid. Guruji has really blesses this Sikh boy.

Tight oiled braids for concentration in studies - Meera's Story

My name is Seema

So I am married for almost 2 years now and live with my husband In laws and Sister in law.
She is in class 8th. Her name is meera.

When I first got married I observed that she has beautiful hair. However she just din oil them regularly.
My mil is also not strict about it as meera just did not listen.
She used to oil her hair on weekends and throughout he week it was regular light oiling or sometimes no oil at all. Also in her school for high school kids there no compulsory braiding.

She is good at her studies but I noticed how she plays with her hair 100times while studying.

I believe that a school girl or any student should be well disciplined and especially have oiled and neat hair.

She loved fashion and I dnt think this is her age to do so especially at the time of studying.

I spoke to my MIL about this and she agreed with me and asked me to take the responsibility.

Initially meera din agree with me And back answered so I had to be very strict with her. I once or twice pulled her ears also. She eventually realized I am very strict and she has to listen to me.

So now I oil her hair regularly and heavily. But never till it drips. I think even driping oil can be irritating and messy. I just make sure all her hair is well oiled. I then just check for lice as she is a school going girl and may catch it in class. However m glad she has not faced lice problem so far.
Then I Comb the hair well and then I make two parts of her hair with sometimes centre and sometimes side partition. Then I make 2 tight braids of her hair and i also use a ribbon to tie them up and make a bow. I don't like the braid to be hanging and she sit and plays with them whole day. As she has long hair I have to fold them up.

And I totally agree with all the moms who oil their kids hair everyday with two folded braids.

I plan to continue doing this to Meera till she finishes her education.

Also I let her wash her hair on weekends and dnt apply oil on Sunday. It's her holiday and she can do whatever hairstyle she likes. But on Monday again she had to compulsory go back to properly oiled hair and two braids.

This is the routine I follow with her.
Everyday I wake her up for college a little early Coz we spend good time in taking care Of her hair. and she takes bath and does her daily morning jobs like cleaning her bed,packing bags and then we eat breakfast.

After that I make her sit on a low stool and I sit on sofa or bed.
I use parachute coconut oil for her.
I use a good amount of oil and massage it and comb her hair properly. I then check for live but luckily she doesn't have that problem.
Then I ensure all her hair is properly oiled and then I make two partitions of her hair. Then I make a tight braid in in side near her ear and braid it till the end and then use a black ribbon to fold it tie it near her ear.
Then I similarly make another braid in the other side.

I am Tamil man - Why I sport hair like a Sikh?

Why I sport my hair in a bun on top of my head. I work in a office and this hairstyle is very convinient to hold long hair. I wrap cloth on my hair in cloth like Sikh boy. So it protects hair from dust and pollution.
When my hair length was upto shoulder, I used to sport them in a ponytail or a bun. But the bun size is very large and if I sport braid, it crosses my mid back. Long CHOTI.
Also, I respect Sikh Religion a lot! I wish I would have taken birth as a Sikh, so I could have grown hair since my childhood and entire family would be sporting long hair irrespective of gender and it would have been fun indeed to oil and comb each others hair.
It's a great respect to god the almighty. "Wahe Guru"
Probably my deep respect for Sikh relligion has bestowed upon me a Sikh friend.
I style like a woman. I do it while at home.
So my long hair gives me an opportunity to be like a man and a woman. I am indeed thankful to god the almighty for my long hair.

My Sikh friend - Japtej Kaur encourages me to be like a Sikh man

Last 2 months, I had abnormal hair growth and now my hair touch waist. Almost 5 centimetre growth in 2 months.
My Sikh friend Japtej Kaur is in regular touch and she encourages me to be like a Sikh man all the time.
But my mother wants me to be like a girl at least at home.
Today, being Sunday, I washed hair with shampoo and conditioned it.
Mother asked me to shave.
So, I got to know about her intentions. After drying hair, she grabbed Parachute coconut oil bottle and asked me to sit on floor. She poured handful of oil on my scalp and started patting on scalp. Then she evenly applied oil on my head and then on strands. Each hair strand was coated with coconut oil. Then she took a fine-tooth comb and brushed my hair backword. She was combing with gentle strokes. I stood and she was standing behind me neatly combing hair. Finally, she started making braid. She made a nice tight braid of hair. She asked me to wear my sister’s clothes. I sported Salwar Khamis and applied bindi on my forehead. Mother was very happy to see me in a woman's attire. Whole day, I lived like a girl.
In the evening, Japtej Kaur called me and asked me if we can meet. So, I had to change my attire. I sported my normal man's cloths and I thought I will sport hair like a Sikh man. So, I opened my braid and combed hair forward and made a tight bun of hair on top of my head and then sported a patka. My mother was unhappy. She doesn't like a Tamil family boy becoming Sikh.
I met Japtej Kaur in the garden. She had sported a braided bun of her beautiful hair, well oiled. I smelled her hair she had applied Dabur Amla hair oil.
I shared with her my dilemma of living dual personality. She laughed and said, it’s good that you have long hair like girls so that you can fulfil wish of both mother and girlfriend.
