just yesterday, one day after my daughter turned one, we brought her to the salon to have her hair cut.. as per tradition (or at least, what i was used to) we are only allowed to cut babies' hair when they turn one and keep it inside a book. whether it be a math book, science book or even a dictionary.

Well, in my country... the only practice i know is giving the baby a hair cut only when he/she reaches 1... and it is usually done by either the mother or the father... i cut my daughter's hair myself... and saved some of the locks... i keep it inside my wallet...

Even we have the same tradition of shaving head called 'mundan'. It is done mostly when the baby is one year plus. I don't know the reason, but head shaving atleast once during childhood is a must.
