Maybe a trim, if you feel he needs it. My son is 20 months. I've been waiting for his hair to get all long and cute and rock star-y, but I'm not sure it ever will. Maybe one day. It's OK if it doesn't though. Also, I've never seen Celine Dion's son, but Cindy Crawford's son's hair? Hate it. He's like 7 with really long locks. He looks like a girl. I want to like it. I want to be cool. But it's too long and too girly. I like Kate Hudson's son's hair though. So now that I've given you a rundown on celeb's kids hair... I vote no cut. Maybe a trim, if you feel he needs it.

I also vote no to the cut. I think it looks great! I also never cut my son's hair, and yeah, I got some "He looks like a hippie" comments, but what's wrong with that? I caved only when he ended up talking and kept saying it was bothering him, he couldn't see, it was bugging him at the pool, and all of that.... All the problems that come with talking and a mind of their own, huh? Oh, I love this post. I also vote no to the cut. I think it looks great!

(i.e., a mowhawk on a wallflower would be ... wrong.) My daughter's hair has been long and it's been bobbed, and no matter what anyone else prefers, including me, (her grandparents keep pushing for it to be looong), the bob is just HER.

My girlfriend gets her son's hair cut at some stylist and he is two years old. of course I haven't witnessed this so it could be an experience requiring a straight jacket and the hiring of an Elmo actor. I personally like the rock star look. My hair is curly and my mom had me rock and afro until I was darn near 10 years old when I finally decided looking like Kool and the Gnag wasn;t so cool after all. But till then, let him rock it, lol. How old is he?

I tried to trim it once before on my own - not so cool, just thinking he wouldn't be able to sit still for a real hair cut. Maybe I'll hire a stylist to come over during nap time. : ) Yeah right!

I love it, even though it's always in his eyes. I'm having the same problem. He's our last planned baby & my husband has long hair, so I'm having a double struggle with it. My opinion is that he looks still very babish & I don't want to loose that look. So, I'm still conflicted. So sorry I can't help you make your decision, since I'm so stuck right there with ya!!

Right now he's got kind of a rebellious grunge look that is kind of cool. Buy him a copy of Guitar Hero III for the Wii and let him rock. As soon as he starts looking like Celine Deon's kid though, cut it as fast as you can. There's a fine line between " handsome little rebel" and "my mama really wanted a girl". I’d leave it.

You could trim it up around his eyes and tame it a little (in the hope that he will have only good hair days!). Leave it long but "shape" it some. (This is the phrase my stylist always uses when I've waited too long to get my hair cut. "Wow, you really need some shaping.") If you love long hair then do what you want!! He's YOUR son, after all!!! :-) ~liz @ abrightfuture.wordpress.com Just because you cut it doesn’t mean you have to give him a military-regulation cut.
