Notes
- In India, tradition requires widows to shave their heads as part of being ostracized, although the practice is considered a rural one and the government is working to end the practice of ostracizing widows.
- Practitioners of several religions are mandated to shave their hair, most notably Buddhist monks.
- The biblical tale of Samson and Delilah is about a man whose immense strength derives from his hair. When Delilah shaved it he became helpless.
- In Japan a woman may cut her hair after being jilted.
