It may be a cultural thing based on the geographical location...
I was raised Roman Catholic and I never heard of this...

I think that may just be a cultural tradition among roman catholics in India. I was raised roman catholic in the United states and have never heard of that practice. But hey, the catholic church doesn't say that you can't wear blue and not cut your hair until three, so why not?

I do not know of this being a Roman Catholic thing as I am a Roman Catholic. I guess the blue could be in honor or Mary but the hair thing I cannot guess. It could be an India thing.

Have been a Roman Catholic for 53 years and never heard of this. It certainly has nothing to do with religion. It must be some ethnic practice or superstition in India.

I was born and raised as Roman Catholic, and even go to Roman Catholic School, as far as I know we did not practice what you're saying

This must be a tradition or custom of people in India. This is not a custom or tradition of Catholics in America.

I AM ROMAN CATHOLIC AND HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS AND I AM 41. UNLESS IT IS AN INDIA THING, I DONT KNOW WHY.
