When can’t you get a haircut?

Among the Han nationality and many ethnic minorities, there is a custom that prohibits cutting hair and shaving beards during funerals.
When someone dies in the family, once a man learns the bad news, he is not allowed to have his hair cut or shave for a month or a hundred days. One of the beliefs is that hair and beard are inherited from parents, so people do not discard them when their ancestors pass away, in order to show filial piety and to express grief and longing. Some say that it is because they recall the sadness of the deceased and do not want to tidy up their appearance to show filial piety. Others say that people do not cut their hair or shave in order to change their appearance so that the dead cannot recognize them and avoid bad things happening to them. The first two statements are both related to etiquette and are relatively close, and are the spread and influence of Confucianism. The latter theory is related to the popular belief that hair and beard are related to the soul, and that hair and beard can harm one's body through witchcraft.
Conclusion: In the old lunar calendar, auspicious days for haircuts are days that are suitable for haircuts. Therefore, for people who care about this, haircuts are a very formal act, and many people will choose a suitable day to go to the barber shop.
