It was to desguise (how do you spell that) himself from the fire nation.

I have nooo idea. Maybe to mislead the fire nation?

He looks more innocent with his new haircut. It's coo` with me.

Yeah, you can see the same action made in Princess Mononoke
(anime movie)
When the prince leaves his village he is forced to cut his hair and never come back
so I guess its the same thing in Avatar

AAAAaaaa!! I love that movie!! GO dude! High five! (I love the leader of the wolf pack. She rocks)

Yeah its sad Zuko had to cut his hair. Im glad it grew back quick. Poor guy, being bald and having a huge scar. Ouch.

ok people Japanese culture 101 (and if you didn't know before firenation=Japan, earthkingdom=china, watertribe=mongolia, Airnomads=tibet)

in Fuedal Japan only Samuria were allowed to grow out their hair. it was a symbol of their status and their pride. cutting the hair off your enemy in Fuedal Japan was a way to dishonor them and often they would kill themselves from the shame.

by cutting off his hair it is a symbol of him giving up his status as a firenation noble and him accepting that he can never go back.

It's like getting rid of all your ties to your clan/tribe/family. Strange how he used a seppoku knife though.

zuko is a ronin now, minus the samurai part. he has turned his back on the fire nation and has become a deserter like the fire general aang was going to learn firebending from.

In the past in China, a man's hair was his honor. The worst thing you could do to a Chinese man would be to cut off his hair. And seeing as they have given up/lost their honor...
