Haarliebeschnitt new article content ...Haarliebeschnitt (directly translated "Love haircut") is an ancient German tradition which dates back to the 1400s. Cutting one's hair was seen as a sign of submission and trust (usually in a relationship). The tradition has evolved since then and since the early 1800s has been passed down through the German families which lived in the village Halbkiesse.

Today, as many as 500k young German men per year still celebrate this in a special way. When a German teen (or man) enters into a relationship with a woman who he plans to marry in the future, and professes his love to her, he gives the woman a part of his hair after it is cut. Usually this hair is taken from the man's first haircut immediately after he utters the words "I love you", or "Ich liebe dich". This tradition is a big deal in the modern world and though weird, is still celebrated frequently.
