Tzu Chi Heads


(Translated by Linda Leu)

Tzu Chi commissioners strive for neatness and uniformity in their hair styles. They all comb their hair back flat and tie the ends in a bun, using a black hair net and adding a dark blue lotus flower on top. This hairstyle is dignified and elegant. It not only represents the dignified, gentle spirit of Tzu Chi people, but also the class and elegance of Chinese culture.

The male members of the Tzu Chi Faith Corps all wear crew cuts to represent their spirit and commitment to hard work and endurance. Because the hairstyles of both men and women are worn to represent the spirit of Tzu Chi, they are known as "Tzu Chi Heads."
