To cut or not to cut

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 !!!

But David, myth or not, it is part of Chinese culture. Our nieces son now 3 months old has regrown his hair after being shaved and he is not yet 4 months old yet. He reason was that it keeps him cooler in his early months. But that does not explain it being done in winter as well!! Its just traditional. Shaving all or part of the head went back many thousands of years.
As we know shaving heads does not make the hair grow stronger or thicker. Look how many middle age and sometimes young western men who do that in the hope it will!!!!!!!! 8)

I am not disputing, or arguing about the tradition...because I know it has been practiced by the Chinese for centuries.
My comment was only about the logic (or not) of it and that logic says it is pointless.
Jason said he DOESN'T want it to happen....neither would I, so I tried to help him with a logical reason why he should not.
"When in Rome........." and his Xia is now in Aus., Aussie rules should apply ;D ;D ;D
If Ming were to have a child, I would strongly object to this pracice also.
RobertBfrom aust:
Well David , stop eating herrings , that is British , not Australian ha ha .
Willy The Londoner:
Do not agree with you David. You are trying to destroy a tradition at a stroke.
You say now in OZ she should act like an Aussie. Is that right? If you want her to depart from all her Chinese traditions. The question would be why?
What next now she is there - swigging down pints of cold beer and know the LBW rule?

Now I think I know why Peggy keeps trying to get me to shave my head.
Personally I hope Peggy keeps a lot of her Chinese tradition. I kind of like her the way she is.
