The 50th Anniversary Of My First Haircut 1975 2025

Hello everyone.  I present, to you, some personal history.  I celebrated a milestone yesterday.  August 17, 2025 was the fiftieth anniversary of my first haircut.  Fifty years ago, August 17, 1975, was the date.  My paternal grandfather was the barber.  I actually have samples from that day.  It was a tradition, back then, for the first haircut to be saved.  There were two pieces separated.  I am assuming the family wanted the curls cut first and then the bulk of it second.  You can see that my hair was quite blonde.  Included with the hair was a note in German written by my mother: "Michael's erster Haarschnitt ende August 1975".  Translation: "Michael's first haircut end of August 1975".  Five decades ago.

Very, very special - in honor of this half century commemoration, I cut a sample of my present hair.  Hair from 1975.  Hair from 2025.  I hope to see you on August 17, 2075 for the 100th anniversary of my first haircut.
