At that age, he's not going to get that it hurts you if you act TOO calm. I'd yell, or at least say OW! I guess some babies don't care about a reaction like that, or find it so interesting it makes them want to pull hair even more, but mine would both stop for OW! (DS is only 8 months old, and he gave up on hair pulling a couple of months ago after a few anguished yells from me.)
