Can I get a haircut today?

You can cut your hair any day.

Although the custom says that "not shaving your head in the first month will harm your uncle", this statement is wrong. One of the folk sayings comes from the "homesickness theory" caused by the "haircut order" in Qing Dynasty. When the Manchu army entered the customs, in order to consolidate the dominant position of the Qing Dynasty, a "haircut order" was issued, forcing all Han Chinese to shave their heads. This regulation caused strong social dissatisfaction and resistance at that time, and many people said: "It is better to be a ghost than to shave your head." In order to show their loyalty to the former dynasty, they kept their hair "nostalgic". However, regime change is a fact. In order to commemorate the old king of the old country, the Han people implicitly expressed this point in the first month without cutting their hair, which is called "homesickness". Later, they passed it on and became "dead uncles".
