Is the first or fifteenth day of every month suitable for a haircut?

You can't get a haircut on the first and fifteenth day!

According to the traditional custom of our country, on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the masses have the custom of burning incense and praying in temples.

This custom comes from Buddhism, which stipulates that Buddhist believers fast, recite scriptures and worship Buddha on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which is actually equivalent to Sunday, and then spread among the people.

On the first day of the first month and the fifteenth day of the first month, we should pay attention to solemnity, so we can't do things like haircut, which is also a kind of respect for Bodhisattva.
