How long can I get a haircut after my loved one dies?

You can have your hair cut after the first seven ceremonies of your loved ones.

Because there is no time from the death of our loved ones to the seventh memorial time, and at the same time, we can't express our condolences to our loved ones. There are still two weeks from the seventh day to the seventh day, and the time is relatively sufficient.

In ancient times, there was a mourning system Mourning is a constraint on the life of a dutiful son after the death of his loved one for a period of time. In this way, we can express our condolences and thoughts for the dead.

According to traditional customs, a baby needs to be cared for by his parents for three years after birth, and his son should also be filial for three years after his parents die.

Within three years of filial piety, the dutiful son cannot live at home. Need to guard the grave for parents. Put up a shed in front of parents' graves, put on mourning clothes and sleep on straw mats, pillows, bricks and clods to express their memory of their parents.

No taboos for guarding the tomb, no going out to socialize, no living at home, no drinking, no eating meat, no sharing a room, no bathing, no shaving, no changing clothes, and no posting of red couplets during the Spring Festival.

But taboos can be flexible. For example, if you are sick, you don't have to be polite when you are old. Loyalty and filial piety cannot be balanced. Loyalty to the country is filial piety to relatives. No country, no home! National conscription must obey national conscription and make contributions to the country.

With the progress and development of society, such as haircut, dressing and bathing can no longer meet the needs of social development and can be changed. However, the situation that red couplets cannot be posted during the New Year has continued until today.
