Chapters 1,2,and 3 speaks of Judgment coming upon Israel.
In verse 16 he asked that they cut off the hair of their children. This is a sign of deep mourning. The Assyrian was coming and thy took the children first.
Micah 1:16. "Make thee bald, and poll thee for thy delicate children; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle; for they are gone into captivity from thee."
We see this display of mourning in Isaiah 15:2
"He is gone up to Bajith, and to Dibon, the high places, to weep: Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba: on all their heads shall be baldness, and every beard cut off."

You have the reason of this Judgment in ch 2.
I hope this helps.
God bless.
