Poor Joshee got his head completely shaved

My older one, my husband, and I all didn't get hair until we were 2. My friends who had the same scenario happen shaved their little one's head and their kid's hair is growing SO MUCH FASTER, so I swore I would try.

Thinking back, my oldest son's hair didn't start growing until he got his FIRST haircut which was around 18-20 months. Then it definitely grew in! I realize that it's a myth that hair grows back "thicker," but I do think it grows in faster and appears thicker because you've split many hairs. It's something Chinese do to their LO's for that thick hair.

No pics. He looks like Mr. Clean w/his perfectly round small head. Hope it works b/c this look isn't the most attractive ;)

I'm the same as you are - the more you cut it the more it seems to grow! I've seen it happen time and again but there really is no biological explanation for it!

I always cut the little whispies on my babies' hair when they were tiny, and started real "trims" to shape it up pretty early - they have ooooooodles of hair. I know, it's got to be genes, but friends with thick hair who don't trim their babies' hair have babies with thin hair, so I'm sticking by my theory! :lol:
All 3 of my babies were born with tons of hair, only for it to fall out within a month or so.

When my boys were school age they loved to have their heads shaved. All there friends were doing it!!! I hated it.

Their hair never came back thicker or better. Now they are 21 and 22 and both are already starting to lose their hair. (male pattern baldness) They hate it!!!
I hope it works for Joshee!!
I didn't have any hair when I was a baby, and then when I was 2 it started to grow. It is so thick now and grows so fast...last October I had a chin length bob I went to the hairdressers yesterday and he couldn't believe how long it had got in 7 months.... my boys hair was the same...but hubby was a hairdresser and kept cutting it to make it thicker...
i can tell you that hair, at least for me, isnt growing back thicker OR faster!! Just greyer! But it is soft and virgin hair....for now :twisted:
I read the title of the post and vicerally reacted with, "Why? Was he matted?" :twisted:

LMAO :lol:

Joshee is approaching 20lbs (17 now) and only 4 months old. Can you tell? He's in an outfit where the tag reads 12m. He was born 6lbs. :twisted:


His outfit should really say GOT MILK?

It's hats on this boy until he grows some hair (already coming in). Coincidently, we also saw a moose a few ft away the other day. I'll miss that about this place.

What can I say? I was born with a full head of black hair. I looked like a Chia Pet. It was predetermined that I would be doing a lot of brushing, right from the beginning!!
My oldest was born with about 3 inches of black hair, stood straight up too :lol:
Much of it fell out, but not all.
When I was born all of my (father's) hair fell out.









Or maybe that was when I became a teenager. Either way.
My daughter was born with black curly hair which all fell out and came in blonde red and curly , my youngest son was born with auburn curly hair and it stayed :D
i still look like a chia pet 8O
I wanna see his cute bald head! :lol:
He is so cute Mrs J!
What a beautiful healthy little boy....I love his little eyebrows.

I know what you mean about missing the wild life being so close when you move. Yesterday, we had the girls down at the ocean and three dolphins where swimming not to far from us.

Luckily for you, you're an exceptionally attractive chia pet. Those things are normally ugly to me. :lol:

...and the difference between you and Joshee is... his shave was his first, cracked the seal for all sorts of first split ends and who knows what else. Your hair has been a few times in your life so you shouldn't notice any change in thickness. While he will never have thick hair (not in the genes), I can at least get his hair closer to the point of what will soon be normal rather than his "baby" hair. Lil J's texture and true hair didn't come in until his baby hair was cut off.

That is so cool! Even weirder to hear people were swimming outside yesterday. Every visitor and family friend we know has seen whales they went on a cruise. We've gone several times in hopes we'd see and haven't. Makes me so upset since it's the only reason I wanted to go on these long cruises with a toddler.

Me too!

My "eccentric" grandma thought I looked like an indian (native american).
Her son is my dad. My dad had black curly hair........ :roll:
