Can I dye my hair during the Spring Festival?

Animal year is a China word. The past was the year of the return of the five elements, that is, the 60-year animal year. Now it refers to the year of lunar calendar 12, commonly known as the animal year.

In the traditional customs of the Han nationality, the Year of the Animal is often regarded as an unlucky year [1]. The folk song "Tai sui commits the year of birth, Tai sui takes the lead." Without happiness, there will be disaster "is the best portrayal of the unlucky year of birth." Therefore, Han people usually refer to the "animal year" as the "threshold year", that is, it is like stepping into a threshold after the animal year. Every animal year, in all parts of the northern part of the Han nationality, no matter adults or children, they need to wear red belts, commonly known as "tying red", and children have to wear red vests and red shorts. I believe that only in this way can they make money and avoid disasters. During the Spring Festival, there are red and yellow ribbons selling "auspicious ribbons" and "auspicious knots" everywhere in the market. People in the animal year tied them to their waists and wrists, and also entrusted the good wishes of the Han working people to ward off evil spirits, avoid disasters and pray for blessings.
