So, today's Lunar New Year and one custom is to not wash your hair, because it is seen as washing away your fortune. It's part of our culture and we just stick to it. It's not that deep.
I just got a reel from a Caucasian woman, telling everyone how she still washed her hair, that she didn't wash away fortune but bad energy (and also not giving any f* about it) and how she wishes everyone a happy year of the fire horse.
Could these people please stop making everything about themselves.
