    I am not aware of this rule! But my babies are bald, so I guess I am not the one to ask!

    I've never heard of that. I think it would be perfectly fine to cut their hair! Me personally, being anal, I'd ask the stylist to wash their hands first, but other than that I'm sure it would be fine. And I bet the pics will be so cute! If they are scared, you can hold them in your lap (we used cool cuts and the boys loved it!)

    I never heard of that rule either. My son was born with a lot of hair, and i had his hair cut at 8 months, because it was hanging in his eyes. Nothing happened to him. He sat more still for that haircut, then he does now. LOL :D and he is 11

    I see no reason not to cut their hair before they're one. Just make sure you save their curls! Of course I have had 4 of the baldest babies, none of my kids has gotten any hair before 2!

    I know it is a considered bad luck among Jews to cut hair before their first birthday. It was bugging me, but I made it to a week past it :)

    I sure hope there isn't a rule about it because my son needs one and I was planning on cutting before his bday party.

    Good luck.

    My ds had the BIGGEST Donald Trump come-over at 6 months, so we took him for a haircut then. She cut off 2 1/2 inches and he looks SOOOO much better. So no worries!

    I've never heard on the no hair cut before one rule. I cut both the girl's hair one at 6 months and one at 9 months. They both were born with lots of hair. I can't wait to see pics.

    I had never heard about not cutting before they are 1. My son was pretty bald and when it did grow in it was very thin, I cant stand his hair being messy and long, so its always cut...even if he was 3 months old I would have cut it if it was messy

    I was all ways told it was bad luck to cut a babys hair before they where a year old but everyone is not me so I say if you want to cut it go for it.

    My DD has not ever had her hair cut yet. DS on the other hand has had his cut 6 times already and he isn't even 18 months old yet. I too heard about the whole waiting for a year, but I went at 9 months. I just couldn't take it in his littles eyes any longer. Glad you decided to get it done. I am sure it will be easier to take care of, and he will see much better with out it in his eyes. Can't wait to see the pics!
