Cutting baby's hair?

hey guys. i searched for this question already and i guess i want to ask my own personalized question. my son is 4 months old now and, as with most babies I'm sure, he was born with straight hair. His hair isn't growning straight anymore. It's now growing as small, somewhat tight curls. The thing is having straight spikey hair on the tip and curly hair at the root is looking somewhat tacky to me. what i wanna do is cut the straight hair off.

is he too young for me to cut his hair? are there any alternatives to cutting his hair? is there anything that's safe to put on his hair at his age? any advice for the lack of growth of the hair on his sides and in the back? just any advice on a 4 month old's hair would be helpful

Hi there i have a 5 month old and im a hairdresser. Oil does Not cause cradlecap but dont use it on his hair consistenly if you are using it to flatten his hair.Only use oil if his scalp is dry.Let his head breathe.He is not young enough to have a haircut,but as he is only 4 months he still can lose what is already grown.You cant make his hair grow at this age,just let it be.It will get worse before it gets better.Just let him have crazy hair as there is nothing you can do yet.Tacky is cute on a baby...He is a baby remember,not a fashion model.

I don't think cutting it will change it from being curly. If he has the gene, then he has it. His hair is either going to be curly or not, period. THere's nothing you can do. You can cut it, yes, but it won't make it straight. And cutting hair doesn't make it grow. Hair grows from the roots, not the ends.

Well my mom had to cut my hair when I was 3 months old, not for the same reason, my hair was really long and hanging in my eyes. You can cut his hair now, just be careful.

It probably isn't that uncommon, the hair babies are born with is often different then what grows in shortly after.

Cut his hair when you want. Ask you doctor if it would be okay to put leave in conditioner in his hair. That is what I do for my three year old for tangley hair.
