    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    Yes, when you will perform umrah on behalf of your teacher, then also you would cut your hair or shorten it after completing tawaf and sa'i. If after performing one or two umrah you have no hair on your head and you intend to offer more than one umrah, then the next time it is enough to pass razor or blade on your head.

    Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best
