Does anybody know where the tradition of waiting until a boy is 1 before giving him his first haircut comes from?

Thanks! This site also had some interesting links about the subject. I'm just curious because my son will be 1 in a few weeks and I was trying to decide what I'm going to do about that first haircut.

I am glad you enjoyed the site. I was pretty sure it was just a rite of passage.
There are so many old wives tales regarding babies.
Happy b-day to your little one.

Its definitely from the Indian Culture!
