Hairy Story
Hairs and more hairs. Long hair, straight hair, curly hair. Do whatever you want to your locks whenever you like. Cutting your hair on the other hand, just make sure you don’t do it on Chinese New Year, during the first lunar month. The Chinese believe that if you cut your hair during the time, you will cut away your prosperity, i.e. you will not have much or any money luck throughout the year. That’s why many of us cut our hair before the New Year. Hair washing during the first few days of New Year is also considered as not prosperous.
Not only you shouldn’t cut your hair during the lunar month, cutting hair n your birthday is also not advisable. The reason for it is also the same as for Chinese New Year. Cutting your hair would mean bad luck for you until your very next birthday. Whether or not this superstition is true, many of us have abide by it for years. It doesn’t harm to have some luck by your side.
