You cannot have your hair cut during the following solar terms

It is taboo to shave your head during the Summer Solstice. This was a custom in Suzhou during the Qing Dynasty. It was believed that shaving one's head on the summer solstice would bring bad luck. However, "shaving" does not refer to the daily haircut as understood by modern people, but refers to the first haircut for a newborn baby and the shaving of the hair for monks. Therefore, there is no need to be taboo for children and adults. The summer solstice officially marks the beginning of hot weather. Friends with long hair can cut their hair short to spend a refreshing summer. Friends with short hair should not shave their heads to avoid ultraviolet burns to the skin.
