Yes, you can cut your hair during your period. There's no medical or scientific basis to suggest that cutting your hair during menstruation is harmful. Many sources explicitly refute the notion that menstruation prevents hair cutting.
However, some cultural beliefs and superstitions advise against it. These traditions vary widely. For example, some sources mention beliefs that prohibit cutting hair or nails during menstruation, requiring the collection and washing of the clippings afterwards. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Muslim/comments/1ejjz2q/cutting_hairnails_during_menstruation/) Other sources cite superstitions about avoiding various activities during menstruation, including haircuts. (https://www.buzzfeed.com/susiearmitage/period-superstitions) These beliefs are not based on scientific evidence.
It's important to note that while there's no health risk associated with cutting hair during your period, some people find their hair to be more oily or sensitive during this time. This is due to hormonal fluctuations. Therefore, personal preference might influence scheduling a haircut for a different time. The best time to cut your hair, from some perspectives, is after your period.
In short, the decision to cut your hair during your period is entirely personal and based on individual preference, not biological restrictions.
