Studio album by Menudo
Released 1990

No Me Corten El Pelo (1990) is Menudo's 29th album (19th in Spanish).

It features Sergio Gonzalez, Ruben Gomez, Robert Avellanet, Rawy Torres, and Adrian Olivares. Sadly this would become Sergio's, Ruben's, Robert's and Rawy's last album recorded as members of the group. What happened in November of 1990 and the beginning of 1991 almost became the end of the group.

In November of 1990 Sergio Gonzalez and Ruben Gomez were busted by Customs at Miami Airport for possession of marihuana and were immediately expelled from the group. At the beginning of 1991 Management filled the two spots with Edward Aguilera of Puerto Rico and Jonathan Montenegro of Venezuela, then a few months later the unexpected happened. Robert, Rawy, Edward, and Jonathan held a press conference and announced they were quiting the group leaving Adrian as the only member left. Management moved quickly and replaced the four with new members: Alexis Grullon of Dominican Republic descent, Abel Talamantez of Mexican descent, Andres Blazquez of Puerto Rican descent, and Ashley Ruiz (descent unknown).
