The first haircut for a human has special significance in certain cultures and religions. It can be considered a rite of passage or a milestone .

In Hindu tradition, the hair from birth is associated with undesirable traits from past lives. Thus at the time of the shave, the child is freshly shaven to signify freedom from the past and moving into the future. It is also said that the shaving of the hair stimulates proper growth of the brain and nerves, and that the sikha , a tuft at the crown of the head, protects the memory. [1]

Hindus practice a variety of rituals from birth to death. Collectively these are known as saṃskāras , meaning rites of purification, and are believed to make the body pure and fit for worship. A boy's first haircut, known as choula , is one such samskara and is considered an event of great auspiciousness. The lawbooks or smritis prescribe that a boy must have his haircut in his first or third year. While complete tonsure is common, some Hindus prefer to leave some hair on the head, distinguishing this rite from the inauspicious tonsure that occurs upon the death of a parent. Those that practice complete tonsure generally ritually offer the hair to their family deity. Many travel to temples such as the famed Tirumala Venkateswara Temple of Lord Vishnu to perform this ceremony.

At the twentieth day from birth, Maliku babies' heads are shaven and the hair is weighed against gold or silver , which is given to the poor. [ citation needed ] The ceremony is called boabeylun .

Mongolian children get their first haircut in early ages between 2–5. Depending on the lunar calendar, boys receive their first hair cut in their odd year and girls in even year. The ritual of cutting the first hair is called Sevleg Urgeeh or Daahi Urgeeh. It is a big occasion for a whole family when guests are invited. Each guest cuts a strand of hair, saying their best wishes to the child, and gives a gift and money.

Many Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish boys get their first haircut when they are three years old. The hair-cutting ceremony is known in Yiddish as the upsherenish or upsherin ("shear off"), and in Hebrew as halaqah (from the Arabic حلاقة - "to shave").

In Israel , there are also non-religious families who adhere to this custom and do not cut their sons' hair until the age of three. A mass hair cutting ceremony is held on the holiday of Lag BaOmer at the tomb of Rabbi Simeon bar Yohai in the Galilean town of Meron .

The Aqiqah ceremony involves shaving the child's head seven days after birth and anointing the child's head with saffron . [2] It is traditional to give in charity gold or silver equal in weight to the hair. [2] This does not have to be done by actually weighing the hair; if it is too difficult to do that, it is sufficient to estimate the weight and give paper currency equivalent to the price of that amount of gold or silver.

The ritual first haircut ( Polish : postrzyżyny ) was a pre-Christian pagan-Slavic tradition which survived in Poland well into the 18th century. This first haircut traditionally took place between the ages of 7 and 10, and was conducted by either the boy's father or a stranger, who would thus enter into the boy's family. [3] Before that age the boy's life was connected to his mother and he was treated as a child. The ritual haircut, coupled with the granting of an additional given name (usually the third), marked the boy's coming of age and a transition to the world of men, in which he was to be looked after by his father. [4] The ritual also constituted the father's formal act of recognition of the boy as a son. [4]

Ukrainian babies often have their hair cut on their first birthday as part of the ancient Postryzhennya custom. [5]

In Cook Islands tradition, the haircutting ceremony is a rite of passage for young boys. At these large gatherings the boy sits on a chair draped with tīvaevae (quilts). As his hair is cut, members of the community plaster the boy with money or other gifts. The custom serves to maintain reciprocal ties within the extended family and community. [6]

Traditionally, Niuean boys do not cut their hair, which is lovingly cared for by sisters, mothers and fathers. When the boys become teenagers, a ceremony is held where women tend the hair for the last time before it is cut. Members of the extended family plaster the youth with banknotes – all part of a large informal Niuean economy that links families and ensures the community looks after its own. [7]

Main Article: Cukur Jambul (Note: This article is not in English and requires a translation)

Malaysian children get their first haircut after the mother's confinement period is over, this can be from around 40–44 days long but more recently it has been done in as few as 20 days. [8] After this period is over it is common to invite extended family over for the ceremony of cutting the child's hair. This ceremony is called Cukur Jambul. The purpose of Cukur Jambul is to welcome the new baby into the clan, it also serves the secondary purpose of allowing extended family to renew their relations with each other. After Cukur Jambul has started with a reading from the Quran, the father or mother takes the child to everyone who will cut some of the baby's hair, these people usually include grandparents, members of the marhaban group, local elders, and religious leaders. It is customary for those who do the cutting to gift the baby with something small, like a little cash. The hair is often weighed in order to donate its weight in gold, or the more convenient equivalent, to the poor. It is later put into some sort of bowl and buried in front of close family members in order to finish the ceremony. [9]

Some Native American tribes commemorated the first haircut with a ritualistic dance. The Apache tribe had a springtime ritual.

Within the African Caribbean community this is performed once the child begins to speak clearly or after the child reaches two. This is usually done in a barbershop or carried out by the parent.

In the Yazidi tradition (mainly in Iran), the bisk ceremony involves cutting of a baby boy's two or three first locks, according to old traditions by his 40th day after birth to be given to the family's shaikh and pir , but in modern practice at 7 to 11 months, and kept by the family. The bisk ceremony is regarded as the central initiatory ritual by most Yazidis from Turkey, Armenia. and Syria. In the European Diaspora, the term is often translated as baptism. The ceremony is reminiscent of the Muslim 'aqiqa celebrated on the seventh day after birth, but the Yazidi ceremony takes place at a later stage, when the child has already been named.

Wondering whether to go for the Big Cut? To help you decide, real teens share their extreme before-and-after pics — and their 100% honest feelings afterward.
"I've always wanted a Zoe Kravitz hair makeover. I just love her look. Getting the chop makes me nervous, but I've just been so excited to do it." Watch her hair transformation from start to finish here .
"Before I got the haircut, I was excited. I was ready for a new look. But once I sat down on the chair I totally got nervous. I cut off 12 inches in total. But I love how it turned! After the haircut I felt so different, but a good kind of different. I just wasn't used to seeing myself with so short hair."
"I had never gone short before, even though people had always told me it would look good. I've always had very long hair and that was part of who I was and what I was known for. I saw pictures of celebs with short hair and it looked amazing, so I went with a lob. I probably got somewhere around 8-10 inches cut off. After, I absolutely loved it – it felt so much lighter and it was freeing. Now I sometimes miss my long hair when I look back at pictures, but I don't think I'll ever go back to how long it was."
"Since high school I've had an obsession with long hair. I loved my long hair; it made me feel so feminine and glamorous. But, over the past few months it started to become so hard to manage. I woke up wanting to cut it, made a same-day appointment, and chopped off over 8 inches of hair. I didn't feel like a new person, I felt more like myself. It's made me feel so much more confidant."
"Usually the only time I cut my hair is when I donate it. This time, I cut off 14 [inches]. I hadn't cut my hair for about two years, and I missed having short hair. It was a pretty big impulse decision actually, I went straight from class to get my hair cut and then came back to campus for a meeting without really telling anyone. I felt really good afterward. I loved the length and I was really glad that I could send it straight to Wigs for Kids"
"I was terrified — I cut off 13 inches! I really liked how it looked, but there were also a few moments when I panicked. I remember trying to put my hair in a ponytail about a week after I cut it but it was too short. I started crying at my pitiful little nub. However, I am so so so glad I cut my hair. It was incredibly freeing. So much of my identity was wrapped up in having long blonde hair, which sounds silly, but it was true. I'm still me and I got to donate my hair to a really good cause."
"I had been wanting to cut my hair because I was getting tired of it. After I cut it I felt great because I donated to someone who needed it."
"In May, I cut off exactly 12.5 inches of my hair. I felt like a brand new person afterwards. I almost didn't recognize myself in the mirror. Every single person at my school was shocked – and I mean shocked . I had tons of people come up to me and compliment me on my haircut. The majority of my friends didn't even recognize me."
"I've always had long hair, aside from a few times when I chopped it all off, then let it grow back out again. I hadn't cut my hair drastically for about four years, so I felt like it was time for a big change. I went for a dark lob and I'm totally in love with my short hair now. I don't think I'll ever go back to having it long. Short is just so edgy and me."
"I cut about 12-14 inches off. It was totally scary but also incredibly exhilarating! For a while, I was scared to show anyone or post photos online, but once I did I got really great feedback. I have cut and colored my hair many different ways, but this was my first pixie. A few people had some crazy reactions, but everyone loves it and is really supportive of my hair change!"

Keito Kawahara measuring her hair for her record attempt in March 2018
The longest hair on a teenager in braids
"I hope the donated hair will help someone who had lost their hair due to illness. It would be really nice if they will feel happy from it," Keito Kawahara .
Held at a local hairdresser in her hometown of Kagoshima, Japan, the momentous event on Tuesday 2 April gathered considerable media attention.
Having never had a haircut in her life, Keito broke the record at 155.5 cm (5 ft 1.22 in) in early 2018; she held the record until she turned 18 on 8 April that year.
Speaking to Guinness World Records after her record was confirmed, Keito explained her hair covers a scar on her head.
"My hair grew long as a result and I felt it would be a waste if I trim it. Now I don’t know when to stop growing it," she said at the time.

But now she's had it trimmed. According to Keito, she was already considering cutting her hair as early as March 2018, just as her record was confirmed.
"A Guinness World Records title brought good memories - then I thought it might be a good time to cut it," she said.
So this year, she decided to go for a drastic makeover just before her first term at university.
Despite having to put a pair of scissors through the hair for the first time, she says waking up in the morning felt like any other day.
However, her family (who were initially against Keito's plan) felt sad to see her long hair go. The moment the scissors touched the hair, one family member couldn't hold her breath and said "wait, are you sure?".
However since her trip to the hairdresser, Keito's family are noticing changes now she doesn't have locks stretching more than one-and-a-half metres.
"We used to help her wash, dry and braid her hair, but now she does it all by herself," said her mother, Yukiya Hirano.
However for Keito's grandfather, Yukiya Hirano, the change might take some time getting used to. When he went to the train station to pick up Keito, he couldn't recognize her even when she was standing right in front of him!
The cut hair has not gone to waste either - over 100 g of it was donated to the non-profit Japan Hair Donation & Charity .
Now that she had her first ever haircut, she is already thinking of trying different hair styles.
"I want to try perming my hair, or try bob style... and definitely want to colour my hair."
The current record holder for the longest hair on a teenager is Nilanshi Patel , a 16-year-old girl from Gujarat, India, who's nicknaned Rapunzel.
When her hair was measured in November 2018 it was 170.5 cm (5 ft 7 in).

A HAIRDRESSER was left stunned after being called to help with a girl’s hair that had become so matted it was growing mould.
The woman showed before and after her transformation process, and people were amazed at the finished result.
The US-based hairdresser explained: “I don’t do house calls, but this was an emergency.
“As you can see this little girl’s hair is completely matted up, it literally has mould in it.
“You can see the mould, it’s not so bad.
“This happened as she kept putting it up in a bun while it was wet overtime, and it started to matt up.
“I tried to take out the matt, that’s why it looks so big, because it was all wrapped up in one big matt.
“Her hair was down to her feet almost.
“This took me hours and hours and finally I had to tell the mum that I had to cut her hair.
“We cut it, did some hydration treatments and this was the final result.”
The hairdresser showed how the new hair was soft, silky and shiny and a bob-length.
She added in the caption: “I’ve never seen anything like this, that little girl's hair was literally growing mould!
“I felt so bad I did everything I could to not have to cut it but unfortunately I had to cut most of it off.
“I’m so happy I was able to help. I'm sure this was extremely uncomfortable!!”
Many people were shocked at the transformation, with one saying: “That’s good tho.. Now it’s more manageable. She is probably grateful.”
Another added: “Wow, it looks amazing now, great job.”
