To cut or not to cut

(1/7) > >>

Jason B:
I have come across something that I do not think has ever been mentioned here before and I am looking for a little guidance from some of you that may have some experience here.

Xia wants to take Laura to a barbers or hair dressers and have her head shaved clean.  She says this is to get rid of her baby hair so she has more even hair on regrowth.  I do not want this to happen, but do not want to upset the MRS.

Any advice/experiences?

Willy The Londoner:
Usual Chinese thing Jason.  Getting rid of the baby hair is right.  Also here it is cooler for the child.  The hair does seem to grow quick and strong almost as soon as its off.

Jason , yes listen to Xia , it is normal in China for the little ones to be shaven several times , I find this very interesting and may answer a long lost question of mine as to why men , and especially women in China along with other Asian countries have such thick hair . Sujuan has confirmed that Sunyao , her daughter was done this way , and the 2 other girls here in the house also confirmed that it had been also done to them and they would do it to their children , when they have them .
 So I have learned something tonight , now back to learning Mahjong ha ha .

Arnold:
I also found out from Qing, that it is common for Girls to have her Eyelashes cut back at the Baby Stage.. because they believe.. you will have "Longer" ones later. That mis-fired on Qing, as her's are "Not" longer now. So it might work for some, guess not in all cases.

David E:
My 2 cents worth.....

It matters little what you do to "baby hair"ecause the ultimate colour, strength, and form of a persons hair is already decided at birth....it's genetics.

Chinese hair is thick and black because they have different shaped follicles than western people or negroes.

It's all a myth...waste of time !!!
