Question
After the first haircut, does one need to wait for a reprimand for a second haircut?
Answer
According to the basic law, there is no need to wait for an additional reprimand, and one is allowed to have a haircut at will after the first haircut, as is the custom of the Sephardim. However, the Ashkenazi custom is to be stringent, and even after the first haircut, throughout the year, they wait for a reprimand or three months, or in cases of necessity such as financial loss, etc.
