Tikkun 19 – 7
Binah is upper waters, represented by the letter H ה and Malchut is lower waters and is represented by the lower H ה of the YHVH name. They are connected with the letter V ו that represents Yessod.
The work of the Tzddik is to be like Yessod to connect upper and lower using the Vav ו as a pipe to channel down the light.
The sages say that the Holy One is strict with the Tzaddik even if it is like “single hair”. The term that the Zohar uses is “single hair” and it is here to describe the importance of a high level connection. When the Tzaddik is at the level of Yessod, the upper channels open to “pour” down the light. It is done through the “hair” of Arich Anpin.
The name Arich Anpin means “long face” and it is the energy that had started the process of creation.
It is the source that brought the light from the unknown and concealed light.
The hair has the aspect of light channeling to the world.
Women’s hair as Malchut, has the biggest capacity to draw light or any other energies. (That is why you almost never see a woman naturally bald). For the men, it is the hair from the eyebrows level and down that help in channeling the light.

Zion Nefesh 
It is interesting that you write: “the work of the “Tzaddik is to be like Yessod…connect(ing) upper and lower using the Vav as a pipe to channel down the light.”
This morning, I was describing to my daughter the experience of giving birth to her. One of the primary sensations I had was of being a “silver pipe” connecting Heaven and Earth. This sensation was simultaneously physical and spiritual. It was absolutely extraordinary.

I have always been uncomfortable having my hair cut by a hairdresser who is basically a stranger. For the last several years, my husband, who practices Kabbala and studies/scans the Zohar, cuts my hair. I will have it no other way….The whole body is sacred, but especially the head. Perhaps this passage offers the explanation for my choice of hairstylist..
You understand it very well Kae. There are even special days of the month for cutting hair that are preferable than the others. We will have this information on http://Astrology.Spiritually.com when the site will be ready with all the features. Some women feel disoriented when they cut their hair in the wrong day of the month, even if it is their best hair stylist.
As soon as I saw the title “Who is your hair stylist”?
I thought The Light of course! The “High Light” .
Interesting commentary.
Thank you
That is another aspect of it. That is why it is recommended for a spiritual married woman to cover her hair and not let others touch it. It is the woman and her family light.
Maybe that´s why when I cut my hair a feel a spiritual cleansing, does it absorb negative energy? and we get rid of it when we cut it?
You may have sensitivity and absorb negativity from the environment that is lifted and relieve you when you cut your hair. Try wearing a head cover.
A lot of light also can put a pressure on people. some stressful situations may lead a person to pull his hair to release some energy.
To protect a child energy we don’t cut their hair until after three years. This to give them time to absorb the energy stronger while their soft spot is still opened.
Dear Zion: Where is the Yod of YHVH in this operation? Is the Yod the Tzaddik?
Thank you for the question Stephen,
The Yod is the beginning of everything. It is the only letter that doesn’t connect to the baseline. It is always there. When a scribe writes the Torah he need to put a dot on the parchment before he write any letter. That dot is the Yod of the name YHVH and it brings the Light to the letter/vessel. so every letter in the Torah has a Yod behind it, even the letter Yod itself.
Tzaddik is called Yessod Olam (Foundation of the world) Yod + Sod = Secret of the Light. The work of a tzaddik is to connect the light, Yod, from above to the world below.
Thank you I understand why I love hats
