My bouncing baby boy was born without hair, not one whisper.
So when locks of his blonde hair came through to resemble a receding hairline I wanted to do something about it.
I took him to the hairdressers and tried to get him one of those funky baby hairstyles or at least a neat and tidy hair-do.
After ten minutes of cold-blooded screaming in our local cheap cuts salon I gave up.
“Was that your son screaming?” a random person said, who appeared awfully close to me.
I nodded and explained I was attempting his first haircut.
“I worked with babies and I have never heard anything like that,” she said shaking her head.
“I’m glad he’s okay,” and she walked off.
Our second attempt was a little better, we talked about some hairstyles with the hairdresser and my son actually got a cut that resembled what we discussed.
I was so proud, he had one of the best baby hairstyles, ever.
But the cut marked the end of his baby days. He looked like a little boy.
If I had my time over, I wouldn’t have rushed to get his hair cut. He could have been a baby for just a little longer.
But in case you are in the market to find the best baby hairstyles (or haircut meltdowns), you really can’t beat these:
