Here you can see the 10 best haircut days from the Chinese almanac, each with its reason, and add a birthday to skip days that clash with a zodiac animal. Days the almanac rules out for every activity are already removed, so every date on the list has passed those checks.
Going by the Chinese almanac, with the worst days removed, 16 days from Wed, Oct 28 to Sun, Apr 25 rate good or better. The nearest is Wed, Nov 11; the top pick is Sat, Mar 6.
Year Breaker and Month Breaker days, the day before each equinox, solstice and season start (Si Li and Si Jue), and Yang Gong’s taboo days are always removed. 5 days in this range were marked good for this but fell on one of them.
It also removes days that clash with that person’s Chinese zodiac animal. You can add several family members. Birthdays stay on this device.
The almanac must list haircuts as good (yi) for the day, and the day must not list it under avoid. Days with two or more of the favored lucky stars or day officers are rated Best, and the rest are rated Good. The old books favor the Releasing Spirit and Clearing Spirit stars and the Remove day officer for this, according to the Xieji Bianfang Shu, a classical text on date selection.
Year Breaker and Month Breaker days are ruled out, along with Si Li days, Si Jue days and Yang Gong's taboo days. Si Li is the day before an equinox or solstice, and Si Jue is the day before a season begins. For haircuts specifically, the old books also warn against lunar day 12 and 15 of every lunar month and against days with the Ding heavenly stem.
The almanac points to the Yellow Path double-hours of the chosen day, in daytime only, from 5 am to 7 pm. This site suggests up to 3 of them and skips any hour that clashes with a person you have entered. A double-hour is a two-hour period of the traditional Chinese day.
Yes, in the almanac a day can clash with a zodiac animal, and such days are usually avoided for that person. Once you enter a birth date, days that clash with that birth-year animal are removed. The zodiac year starts at the Start of Spring solar term, so a January or early February birthday may count toward the earlier animal.
No, Best is the higher rating. A day is Best when it carries two or more of the favored lucky stars or day officers, and otherwise it is Good. Both kinds list haircuts as good and pass the ruled-out checks, and tradition is the basis for all of it.
