In the past when boys had their hair cut, five locks were left on their head: one on the top, one on the forehead, one on each temple and one at the back of the head. It was a man who was supposed to cut boys’ hair on auspicious days. Grown-up men grew their hair down to their neck. Old men did not have their hair cut. Men could wash their hair any time, although women were not supposed to wash it in the evening.
