Pre-Crisis Superman arrived on Earth as a toddler with hair. There was a line somewhere that stated his hair would grow as he did ... |

He'd have looked pretty strange with either a little tuft of baby hair or little patches of baby hair sticking out randomly on his otherwise chrome dome. |
That was the Silver Age Superman. The Original Superman arrived as just a baby. How he cut his hair was never brought up.
My COX Fanfiction:
Blue's Assembled Story Links
I think the other "hair cut" solution was that his invulnerability only worked at close range to his skin, so he could cut his hair but never get a crew cut and his cape could rip but never the tights.
This is a song about a super hero named Tony. Its called Tony's theme.

Superman Birthright (Mark Waid) 2004 to Infinite Crisis circa 2009
Secret Origins (Geoff Johns) Infinite Crisis till the 2011 line wide reboot.
These were corporate mandates and Byrne made the biggest changes. The others were updates with not that many changes Byrne's changes to Supe's powers. They were minutae, relationship oriented or updates for the times. None of then included a super baby. That's a good 25 years of no super baby. Even in the Grant Morrison driven reboot, Clark did not arrive fully powered.
In Action comics in current continuity, he couldn't fly when he came to Metropolis, he hitches rides on airships, that conveniently dot the Metropolis sky.
