If someone's brother has passed away and their hair is very long, is it permissible to get a haircut during the thirty days of mourning?

A mourner is prohibited from cutting their hair, whether the hair on the head or the beard, for the entire 30 days of mourning when one of the seven close relatives, other than a father or mother, has passed away.
