Hair Cutting in Tanish
Tanishites traditionally wear their hair long, both men and women. Hair is usually styled with oil into long ringlets and nice hair is an important aspect of beauty. Hair maybe trimmed to remove split ends and tidy it up, but they would never cut off more than a centimetre.
There is only one reason a Tanishite would cut their hair: as a display of mourning. When a loved one dies, grief is displayed by cutting off hair. How short you cut it depends on how deep your grief is.
- For a spouse, it is normal to shave the head completely.
- For a parent or a child over 6, cut your hair so that only an inch of hair covers your head.
- For a grandparent, child 5 or under, or a sibling, cut your hair to a chin-length bob
- For aunts, uncles, or cousins, shoulder length
- For other relatives and friends, cut it to an inch or so past your shoulders.
