WEEK 10 Bonus - ANSWER
Well, people found many, many reasons why Hindus and Indians shave their heads! Here is a smattering:
A rite of passage for children around age 3 in order to divide them from their animal (i.e. hairy, natural) state.
When someone was widowed (male or female)
When a father died, his eldest son would shave his head
To speed up the time to get to Nirvana--each hair shaved was equal to buying one cow for your God!
