Until when can I get a haircut in the first month of the lunar year?

From the first day of the first lunar month to the first day of the second lunar month, you cannot shave or cut your hair. You can only cut your hair on the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raises its head.
The custom of "Don't shave your head in the first month of the lunar year, or your uncle will die" is popular in most places in my country. This custom originated around the time when the Qing government issued the shaving order in 1644. In fact, this custom is a misunderstanding. At that time, not cutting hair meant "missing the past", and this custom has been popular since the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, the government ordered all citizens to shave their heads. However, some people missed the old dynasty and did not cut their hair during the first month of the lunar calendar to express their longing for the past. However, they could not openly confront the imperial court at that time, so the custom of "cutting hair in the first month of the lunar year will cause your uncle's death" was derived and has been passed down from generation to generation until now.

What are the precautions for cutting hair in the first month of the lunar year?

In the first month of the lunar year, the Yang energy between heaven and earth gradually rises, and all things begin to radiate and grow outward. People should also follow nature and should go to bed early and get up early, wear loose clothes, and let their hair hang down on their shoulders to allow it to grow freely. Hair should not be cut or tied too tightly, as this will block the body's reproductive energy and restrict the body's vitality. Therefore, the best thing to do in the first month of the lunar year is not to shave your head or get a haircut. Let your hair grow naturally and follow the four seasons.
