MYTHS!
Birth and Infancy
. Don't cut the baby's hair before its first birthday, or the baby will be very sickly.
. After baby's first birthday, let someone whose traits you want the baby to emulate give the child its first haircut--this assures that the child will follow in the footsteps of its first barber
. It is bad luck to comb, all the more, cut the baby's hair while it is asleep.
. Don't throw away the strands from the baby's first haircut. Press them within the pages of a book to make the child intelligent. Better yet, if you want him to be a lawyer keep the locks within the pages of a book about laws.
. If old folks are to be believed, a child future is pre-destined by his hair whirl. One hair whirl is normal. But look out for the child with two hair whirl--it means that the child will be headstrong, naughty and trouble-bound. Three hair whirl make for a lucky child.

The myth about hair is as old as time itself. It was believed that your strength was in your hair. Cutting a babies hair would make the child susceptable to disease and die. It was also believed that a womans power was in her hair and shaving it would fetter her powers. Jews and Religious still practice this form of tonsure even today.
