When is it to early to give a child 1st hair cut?

I've always been told that a child should never be given a haircut until they're at least a year old. That could possibly be an old-wives tale or maybe there is some truth in that. I'm not sure, but just to be sure, wait until the child is at least one years of age. Since he is turning one soon, wait until then.

It's definitely not too early for you to give him a cut. I wouldn't take him to a barber yet at one. You should do it when you think his hair is getting long. Make sure you have another person there to help, in case he starts to move his head or anything. Use rounded-point scissors.

And, you should cut his hair a couple of times at home first, also, before you take him anywhere to get it cut, if that will be the option.

Hope this helps!

I have never ever heard of an age requirement for a hair cut. Cut your childs hair if he needs it.

I lot of people believe it is bad luck to cut a child's hair before their first b-day.

If his hair is getting to long and in his eyes then I would say don't listen to anyone. Some kids are born wih tons of hair and need a hair cut before they are one. Go with what you want and get it cut. It grows back.

I think you should do it whenever YOU are ready. It sort of is a special moment for a mom and child because it symbolizes that they are growing out of the baby phase. My nephew was 2 when he had his first. He had beautiful curls so we waited as long as possible before cutting them. It instantly turned him into a little man!

Its never too early for a hair cut. My son was born with a full head of blonde hair...an inch long all over. It grew quickly...while some fell out ans was replaced quickly with new hair. Not all of it fell out, so he looked like he had a comb over by teh time he was 6 months old. I took him with me to the salon, and they trimmed it so that it was even with all the other hair. So it it up to you. If you want it cut, get it cut. It makes it grow in thicker also.

1. It really doesn't matter.

2. You're the mom, if you want to get your baby's hair cut, get it cut. For the next 18 years and beyond, people will be telling you what you should be doing. Smile, nod, say "okay, thank you for your advice", then do whatever you want or whatever you think is best for you, your family, and your child.

3. It really doesn't matter.

I actually got my son his first haircut a week or so after his 1st birthday. We made a big deal of it, everyone in the shop loved it, they were all oooooing and ahhhing over him, someone even gave him a dollar. Then we went to lunch for french fries McDonalds of course. Do what you want don't let anyone sway your decisions they got to do it with there children he is yours and you get to make them for him.

I cut my son's hair at 6 weeks. One of my nephew's had a trim around his ears at 3 days old. Both have beautiful hair now (well, you know my son and he's gorgeous anyways).

I'll come over and cut his hair for ya...it'll be fun. If I'm back in town early enough we can do it Sunday afternoon. Otherwise, we're both off next friday.

I would wait til he's 1 1/2 or 2 because the head on a baby is the most sensitive part. Even though you touch its head and it's not soft like before their head is still sensitive.

If it's getting to a point it's too long and it bothers, just cut the tips.

Hope I Helped =)
