What age did LO get his/her first haircut?
Torren was born with a full head of hair. Baby Elvis sideburns and all. Of course, it fell out really randomly and although new hair has been slowly growing in he now he just has a bad comb-over in the front and a bald spot in the back. I think it is funny in a baby way and know lots of half bald little old man babies. But it is driving DH crazy and I swear he asks every day if we can give him a haircut. He's only 4 months old but I just don't think he will make it to 1 year, which is when (for some reason I don't remember) I always thought you waited for to cut a baby's hair.
So when did you first cut your LO's hair?
And because every post is better with a picture, please see my sweet baby's kickin' cowlick and bald spot 
HAHA. I can't help it, I love it.

That looks WAY better than Sophies hair looks right now! I will have to take a pic, seriously- her bald spot is crazy. I'm afraid she is on her way to looking like her brother did by his first haircut. Gavin's was so bad by 6 mos that we had no choice and had to let SIL give it a trim. Here's a pic from right before then- BAD BAD BAD!!!
The good news is that it immediately started coming in thicker and fuller after that trim. Here is a pic from one month later- still a little messy, but so much fuller!
I don't know that we will make it to 6 mos w/ Sophie. Thinking of letting SIL give her a teeny trim in a few weeks just to see if it will help it grow in faster.
Benjamin was about 17 1/2 months old and Noah just got his first hair cut this past Saturday. He turned 17 months yesterday. Noah's was a hot mess - half curly, half frizzy and sticking up all in the back. I should have gotten his hair cut months ago but he's my last baby and I was feeling sentimental. I'll PIP a before picture when I have a chance. But slw is right, as soon as I got B's hair cut, his hair started growing in tons. I'll be interested to see if the same happens for Noah.
Both of my kids have a head full of hair.
William had his first haircut at 8 months.
Samantha's right at 6 months. Her hair was out of control and it looked like she had a mullet. Looks so much better after the haircut.
Caroline was over a year old for sure.
She was also born with a head full of dark brown hair, but as it started to fall out it came in blond. Her bald spot was pretty bad - my grandpa called it the reverse toupee - ha! She also didn't really start to lose it until 4-6 months. So he'll probably still lose a good bit before it starts to grow back.
I think the whole wait until they are a year thing is just a superstition, so if you want to give him a haircut, just go for it. Though they change so much in the first year that you never know how it will grow back in!

Max was born with a full head of hair, and it stuck straight in the air for about 5 months. Thankfully it never fell out (well, maybe a teeny bit), but it was so long we had to get a hair cut right at 9 months.
Max has the same cowlick as T. so cute!
That is hilarious.
I think he was around 10 months old or so.
My boys pretty much had no hair until after they turned a year old. Ethan got his first cut at 18 months and Jack was 21 months old. Now that they have a full head of hair, we have other problems like cowlicks! It's almost impossible for the two of them to get a good haircut.
Bailey was born with tons of hair and never lost it. He got his first haircut at 4 1/2 months in Disney and we've gone every 6 weeks or so to a lady in Decatur since. Right now it's been 8 weeks b/c he's been so sick and he looks like he has a mop on his head.
Bryce on the other hand is just now getting more hair so I think he will not have to go until closer to a year old.

From my experience I can tell you that there?s not a proper age for a first haircut.
It's more about how much hair they have than how old they are. At my salons, we once gave a first haircut to a 4 week old! Just don't cut his cowlick too short--that's what makes them stand up.
