There is a folk saying that "on the second of February, the dragon looks up"
The "second of February" is between rain, stinging, and the spring equinox, when spring returns to the earth, everything recovers, fertilizer is transported for ploughing, and sowing will begin. Legend has it that the "dragon" in charge of the clouds and rain also woke up and rained like oil spring rain. "The Dragon Rises" represents the people's ardent expectations for the seasons in the agricultural era, looking forward to smooth wind and rain, abundant grain, and full warehouses.
"On the second of February, the dragon looks up, and adults and children shave their heads"
At the beginning of February, there are many customs in the second continent
thereinto
The most representative custom is haircuts
This custom was formed in the Qing Dynasty. Since ancient times, the Han people have always maintained the concept of "body hair skin, by their parents, do not dare to destroy", and have "tied their hair" all their lives. In the Qing Dynasty, men changed their "hair tied" to "braided hair", and the top hair in front of the forehead needed to be shaved, and the shaving industry has since arisen. "If you have money and no money, shave your head for the New Year", the shavers were busy until the eve of the Spring Festival, and they returned to their hometowns until the beginning of February of the following year. In order to spread the business and seek good fortune, he called this day's haircut "shaving the dragon's head".
To this day, many people still go to get a haircut on the second day of the first month of February, so that the face is synchronized with the spring, and the vigorous "spiritual head" is radiant, so that their lives and careers are vigorous and prosperous.
These hairstyles are best changed
1 long bangs
Excessively long bangs can limit sunlight and sensory stimulation into the eyes. People with normal vision are prone to myopia, and people who are originally nearsighted will become highly myopic, and may also cause amblyopia in the eyes that are covered. It is recommended that the length of the bangs is at most aligned with the eyebrows, can not cover the eyebrows, and the width should be outside the eyelids, preferably beyond the midline of the ears and face.
2 Too tight ponytail
Ponytail is very popular with women, but this hairstyle can cause the hair follicles and surrounding skin to become loose over time due to tight tying and pulling the scalp, and even cause hair loss. It is recommended that the ponytail is not tied too tightly, and the lower scalp is relaxed every three to five minutes, which is conducive to normal hair growth.
3 Wear a hair band
After using the hair band for a long time, there will always be swelling pain around the corner temples, which is actually caused by the hair band being too tight or not in line with the head shape, pressing the scalp, and poor blood circulation. It is recommended to choose a hair band that matches your head shape when purchasing a hair band, and the hair band should not be too narrow and should not be worn for a long time.
4 always in the same disposition of the seam

It is recommended to change directions every two or three months.

01 Comb your hair before washing
When combing the hair, it can remove the dirt between the hair and bring the sebum to the surface of the hair. Forms a natural protective layer that also prevents hair loss caused by hair knots. Note that the comb should be gently combed from the scalp, and do not pull hard when encountering places where the comb does not work.
02 Warm wind blows the scalp, cold wind blows hair strands
