Spiritual Meaning Of Hair Color

Every culture has its own interpretation of hair color, although they all have diverse roots. Black in grade one is a sign of evil and darkness, as well as the beginning of a spiritual journey. Grade 2 black suggests that you enjoy nighttime darkness (as you will be seeking the moonlight or candlelight). Grade 3 black denotes disobedience and change, whereas Grade 4 black denotes a desire to keep your identity a secret from others (but this is not desirable).

Hair color has been significant throughout history because it communicates details about a person’s ethnic group, social standing, level of sexual appeal, and other cultural information. Hair colors have varied as trends and cultural conventions have evolved over time, from one decade or century to the next. By adding pigments to the hair and changing the color of the hair’s existing pigments, several hair colors can be made. Prior to the modern era, most societies spent a lot of time grooming themselves and doing various things to improve the appearance of their hair.

Spiritual Meaning Of Hair Color

Hair color carries symbols too: golden—related to SUN symbolism; white—eternity; red—demoniacal, Satanic; violet—associated with goddesses; brown/black—chthonic forces; green—having to do with the sea or water.

The three primary types of color additives are temporary items that provide extremely subtle to dramatic enhancement, hazardous products that cause immediate or long-term harm to human skin, and hair dyes, which use a chemical procedure to change the natural color of the hair.

Orange: This color is linked to fertility, self-assurance, independence, and health. Blonde or yellow hair is associated with money, success in business, and intelligence. Green: The color green has environmental associations as well as those of love, loyalty, trust, harmony, and healing.

Hair Color Meaning Personality

The spiritual meaning of hair color is a highly personal topic. It can be difficult to determine what color you should dye your hair based on the spiritual meaning behind it, but there are some general guidelines you can follow.

For example, if you’re looking for a spiritual meaning that aligns with your personality and the way that you live your life, consider colors such as red or blue. Red represents passion and energy, while blue symbolizes wisdom and tranquility. If you already have a personality that is fiery or peaceful, these colors may be perfect for you!

The spiritual meaning of hair color is a reflection of your personality and character, as well as an indication of your health.

The color of your hair can be an expression of who you are on the inside. For example, if you have blonde hair, it could mean that you’re kind and gentle by nature. On the other hand, if you have black hair, it could mean that you’re passionate about life and love to live it to the fullest.

Your hair color can also have an impact on your health. For example, if you have red hair, it could mean that you’re likely to develop heart disease or cancer because redheads tend to have a higher risk of developing these conditions than people with other hair colors.

On the other hand, if you have brown or black hair, it could mean that you’re less likely to develop heart disease or cancer because those with brown or black hair typically live longer than those with lighter shades such as blonde or red, which tend not to last as long due to their vulnerability to sunlight exposure (which causes them to fade quicker).

Spiritual Meaning of Hair In Dreams


At times we might dream of our hair color changing. In dreams, it is sometimes strange to see our own hair in a different color hair than we have in real life. If you are here it could be that you dyed your hair in the dream. The first area that I would like to cover is the basic meaning of the hair dream.

Changing hair color in dreams

Hair, as an omen in dreams, represents our inner strength. Changing hair colors in the dream state can indicate that we want to be someone else. Hair in old spiritual books represents trouble and distress, I’m afraid. While hair coloring is a chemical process, a simple understanding that the color in the dream is important. You could have seen hydrogen peroxide, ammonia, chemical dyes or even just the fact that you have changed your hair color. 

The actual hair color change is important in a dream. Going blonde in a dream or seeing yourself have blonde hair when you are normally another color points to the fact that you are wanting to be more focused on yourself right now. If you are in a relationship, think about the color of the hair of your partner’s ex—was she blonde? It could suggest that you are feeling insecure. 

To dream of going brown when, in real life, you are another color can suggest that you need to be more grounded spiritually. If you are dyeing your hair in a dream, it can point to many changes in life. I love the confidence of a lady who wears her silver hair with pride, and I love it more when we change our hair color and the intensity of the follicles. If you change to blues, grays, silvers, greens, lavenders, and the like then beware of an overabundance of overdoing things in life. Seeing yourself as a redhead in a dream when you are normally another color can signal that passion will enter your life. 

When you are tired of life and feel like hiding, you may see your hair as black in a dream. In general, if you see another color in the mirror in a dream when you are something completely different, then this can suggest that you need to glam yourself up. 

The style and color of the hair are representative of the person you truly are. Hair in dreams that is well organized is a reflection of methodical or systematic thinking style. Dreaming of different colored hair can suggest hysterical or self-critical thoughts that are controlled. we all go through ups and downs and this hair color can signal that.

A dream where the color or appearance of the hair changes all the time might mean that you are concerned about what others might be thinking or that you are trying to express a version of yourself that is more authentic to the rest.
Dreaming of dyeing your hair is indicative of the need that is in you to change in some aspects of your personality. The color that you decide to dye your hair with tends to be significant.

Dream meaning of dying hair

When you dye your hair back to its original color, it denotes your desire of recapture some aspects of your younger self or it seems that you are interested in some past characteristics. To be able to dye your hair black could be suggestive of your desire to appear more mysterious to the rest or in an expression of inwardly mourning or grieving.

Dying your hair red is a sign of a desire to ignite more passion in your waking life.  For your hair to be dyed blonde, it is a sign of being carefree and having fun. If your hair is dyed brown, then it means that you are trying to crave more stability in your life with a desire to feel more grounded.

Dream of healthy hair but a different color

When you happen to see hair in your dream, it is signifying virility, sexuality, sensuality, seduction, health, and vanity. It is an indicator of the attitudes you have. If your hair happens to be shorter than in real life, then it is symbolic of confusion and uncertainty in your life. You might be unable to think straight right now. 

If you dream that you have made drastic changes to your hair or that it is totally different, then it is indicative of taking a new, drastic approach to certain issues in your waking life.

Dreaming of wearing a wig is suggestive of experiencing strength loss. You might be feeling that someone is pretending they are someone they are not. On the other hand, you might be reshaping your ambitions and thinking and eliminating unwanted habits and thoughts. 

Dreaming that you are changing another person’s hair can suggest the need to evaluate a new outlook, concept, idea, or way of thinking. You could be placing your thoughts in an orderly manner and getting your facts right every day. An interpretation that is more literal about your appearance and self-image.

When you see long hair in your dream, which is another color, it is an indicator that you are thinking carefully and long before you make any decision. You concentrate on your plan or situation. Dreaming of having ombre hair is an implication of the need for your lifestyle to downsize.

Losing part of your hair due to coloring your dream is a sign that you are concerned with the fact that getting older makes you lose your sex appeal as well as your virility. Ask yourself the following: are preoccupied with aging and your current appearance? Loss of hair in parts could also mean that you lack strength and that you don’t seem to have the power to succeed in any undertaking. You might be feeling vulnerable and weak.

When you have a dream of someone you know changing their hair color, it is indicative of being curious about others. Dreaming of visiting a salon to have it highlighted is suggestive of trying to connect with the person spiritually or intellectually. It also refers to protectiveness, sympathy, and fraternal love.

Dreaming of a male with a different hair color can suggest freedom of expression of uninhibited feelings. If the male has white or gray hair, then something important has been made known to you. I had this dream once. The man I was with in real life had brown hair but in my dream it was gray. It could be symbolic of wisdom, knowledge, and insight. The dream could also be linked to a metaphor that suggests feeling light-headed about that man. If you are a man and a dream woman, you know that different hair colors in a dream can suggest that change is coming in the relationship.

Dream of black hair color change

Ok, let’s look specifically at the hair colors, which I touched on briefly above. Raven or black hair, is connected to a mysterious person. Dreaming that your hair is dyed black or you have black hair is indicative of feeling closed off. There are chances that you are covering up your true feelings.

Dream of hair colors such as highlights


Dreaming of highlights is suggestive of something that is heavily weighing on your mind, which makes you confused. Perhaps you could be having a big deal because of a matter that is quite minor. On the other hand, the dream could be referring to concerns regarding your image in public.

Dream of red hair color change

Blood red or red hair represents excessive or passionate thinking patterns. Some aspects of your personality, which are not quite genuine or caring, might be the issue here. Red hair might also be a reflection of passion, cheating, lying, anger, or being someone who is not themselves.

Hair that changes to the redhead, orange, carrot top, or ginger in your dream is a representation of a noticeable thinking style or one that is hard not to be noticed. I’m sorry to say that on the negative side, orange hair in dreams might be a reflection of being preoccupied with wanting to be more outrageous or noticed in behaviors that are hard to ignore. 

Dream of a hair color disaster

We all have had that disaster at the salon when our hair goes crazy. What does this mean in a dream? Darker, greener hair is a representation of thinking patterns that are open to others. Arrogance, jealousy, or preoccupation with feelings. Hair that is lighter green might be a reflection of a progressive, proactive, or focused mindset on healing.
Dream of hair color change purple and blue

Hair that is light purple represents a pattern of thinking that is indifferent and neutral. Dark purple hair is a reflection of a pattern of thinking that focuses on a feeling of total powerlessness. Nothing that you want tends to happen.  It could also be a sign of uncaring and dark thinking patterns.

Hair that is light blue represents patterns of thinking that are positive. It might reflect sensitivity. When the hair in your dream is dark blue, it represents cold or insensitive patterns of thinking. Hair that is black in dreams is a representation of thinking that is imbalanced. Dark, negative, depressed, or excessive thoughts can also be a representation of a mindset that is fearful. White hair is symbolic of thinking patterns that are balanced. Unhealthy or negative beliefs are being cleansed at the moment. It could be a sign of positive change or self-improvement, with white hair representing good intentions.

Now that we have begun to get a sense of the colors that can change, it is time to consider other strange dreams that involve hair color. Dreaming that you are wearing the hair of someone else (such as a wig or someone else’s hairstyle) could represent your style or thought of thinking, which is based on feelings, qualities, or memories that stand out about someone else. It might be a reflection of a style that is similar to thinking for that particular person.

A dream where your hair is wet might be a sign that you are feeling embarrassed or worried due to the problems of someone else.  Dreaming of your hair being covered in hair dye spray could denote frustrations, annoyances, or situations that are undesirable that you feel stuck in, feeling unable to stop thinking about something annoying.

To dream of gold hair can suggest financial gain. I am preoccupied with situations that are quite serious and have a feeling that, at the moment, there is no joking around. Dreaming of hair that is destroyed due to coloring can indicate that you may face a crisis in life.

If you see a lady with green hair in your dream, this can denote feeling jealous. When you wake up, you could find that you are quite worried that your ex-girlfriend of your boyfriend was a better lover and more attractive than you are and it might make you think about it for quite a while.

In a dream, hair color is a representation of longevity and money. If a strand of hair is tied by a rich person to a bun of their dream, it denotes an increase in their wealth and the growth of their business based on a mortgage or a business loan. If one can see their straight hair curled or frizzed in a dream, it could denote that they are going to be honored, and if the hair is frizzed straight in the dream, it denotes that they will suffer a loss in rank or humiliation.

If someone with lanky and straight hair sees it in a manner that is longer than usual in the dream, it could be that money that belongs to someone else where they work will be wasted, distributed, or lost.  If the hair is lanky and soft and still looks longer than normal, it could be that the authority of their manager will expand and their interests will diversify.

Looking at the texture of the hair is important. The hair in the dream being curly could mean honor, power, and praise that will come from your superiors. Straight hair for a woman in the dream means that she is going to benefit, especially if she happens to use a wig or hairpieces as part of her makeup. Women who receive benefits from having to braid hair in a dream and it denotes investing money or saving it.

If a woman sees herself having a hair bun in her dream, it is a sign of protection and respect that is inspired by a personality that is quite strong. The actual hairstyles can alter the meaning accordingly. Having to shave your hair in the dream (if that is your head) or under your armpits in a dream is a sign of paying your debts, having to dispel distress, or following good hygiene. It could be that you are mastering the craft when you dream about braiding your hair.

Shaving hair while on pilgrimage or during the pilgrimage season is all about protection and safety in real life. Hair shortening or having to remove the hair which is unwanted is all about having to dispel stress or being coerced into having to pay your debts. In case you see yourself in the dream having light brown hair in a dream, it is a sign that you are going to face major calamities. If you are unhappy and you see yourself covered in hair in the dream, it is a sign of aggravation of your unhappiness and it is time for mindfulness.

Seeing other people with strange hair colors in a dream

Hair that is black of a woman is a representation that the husband loves her. If you are a woman and you see yourself putting on a veil or a headpiece in your dream, it is a sign of a journey that will take your husband away from you for some time or a journey from which he might not come back.  If you see that people are looking at your hair and you are a woman, it is a sign that, as a woman, you are going to suffer defamation and slander.

If you see hair that is permed in your dream, it is a sign that you will reconnect with your lost family. if you have thicker or longer hair, and if you wish in your dream to have it when you wake up, it is a sign that you are likely going to attain your goals, prosper, and pay your debts.

Change of thickness of hair in a dream

If the thickness or length of your hair is uncommon, and if you have a feeling that walking with it while on the streets in your dream is an offense, it denotes distress, debts, and the inability to be able to take care of your family. Having boy-style hair (when you are a girl) in your dream could also mean adversity and naughtiness.

Long and thick hair in a dream could be an indication of problems with work that will resolve themselves; it could be a representation of fearing wrongdoing, having to think about a very important person or a representation of common daily concerns. A dream where you have less hair is a sign of diminishing difficulties. 

If you can see someone pulling your hair out in your dream, it means that you are likely to face a financial disaster. If, as a woman, you see your hair strand being cut, it denotes having a fight with your husband, or it could denote someone trying to encourage your husband to look for another woman.

If you are a man and you see yourself grooming your hair and it is another color than in real life, that can suggest you will be hearing praise. Delousing your hair in the dream has to discover your faults.

If there is hair growing on your face where there is normally no hair, then that is debt. If you see hair growing that is another color, it might be an indicator that you are going to benefit from a certain business venture. Hair growing over your tongue or having a hairy chest in your dreams is a sign of clarity, wisdom, or diligence, except if it is growing beyond control, then it could be indicative of stress, adversities, debts, sorrows, and much more negativity.

If you see hair appear on your body and it is a strange color, this is a sign that you are likely to lose all your savings. I hope you enjoyed this dream meaning. Blessings.
